Hi,

Foolishly I signed up with UB a while ago without checking first if RB is available. The original sign up bonus and every reload bonus apparently is stacked and never expires.

Apparently they deduct some percentage of the bonus if you have RB so would I be a fool to try to clear the bonus without RB playing $25NL SH? I don't feel to comfortable to close my exisiting account, change Neteller account, sign up again with different e-mail addresses and name.

 What is the question here?

The UB bonus clears ok at midstakes but rather slowly at small stakes. They do take 25% of your bonus to pay your rakeback but the combination is still better than the two alone.

Basically the question is

a) shall I really go through all the troubles for signing up with UB with a different e-mail address, different name and fund my account with something other than Neteller?
b) be happy to clear the bonus alone without rakeback?
c) forget about UB all together as there are other bonus hunting opportunities out there?

Honestly it’s not that important and it doesn’t really play on my mind until I think about a future permanent home with RB and good table selection outside US peak hours (I usually play between 12am-4am EST). Unfortunately I also have an account on Full Tilt without rakeback and I couldn’t switch over because I clicked on a Full Tilt banner on FTR when I signed up there. Poker Stars is a great site but I’m asking here specifically about UB because it’s one of the only major sites (besides FT and AP) with RB.
