Hi all,

I have read some of the articles here about rakeback. I am now very confused

I understand the concept of rakeback and the benefit of getting it directly from the poker room as opposed to from 3rd party. However, most mainstream or popular poker rooms do not need to offer any rakeback program to attract players whereas those that do usually have limited actions. This is totally understandable.

Here are my questions:

1. First of all, I only play at most 10 hours of low-stake (up to $200 NL cash game and $50 SNGs/tourneys) online poker per week, is it worthwhile to consider a rakeback program?

2. If so, may I have some suggestions of the poker room? I have read articles on Sun Poker. The main thing that worries me is the lack of players there. It may take a long time to earn those bonuses.

3. I have also read lots of people get their rakeback through 3rd party company but I understand some mainstream poker rooms do not allow such arrnagement. So I need some guidiance here if okay.

Ideally I want to play at poker room that offers great first-time deposit bonus, lots of active tables, and obviously a competative rakeback prgram (if it is worthwhile). I know I am asking for a lot

Just want to be sure I make the best use of my next deposit before joining a poker room. I look foward to your advice.

Thank you very much.

Kind regards,

Mike
