Where should I put my first deposit?

FullTilt looks the best, with the $100,000 first depositor freeroll.

What to you guys think?

Looking to only deposit at one site.

If you're making your first deposit at Full Tilt , make sure you do it in a way that ensures you get rakeback.

I am tied to some unknown affiliate from when i first started dabbling back in 2005 and am not eligible for rakeback. I've tried everything.

Get rakeback before you do!

It is difficult to argue against FT or PS. The freeroll at FT is a big attraction.

Forget the freerolls, make sure you get Rakeback.

It depends what stakes your playing imo. If you are starting at 2NL you wont be able to clear a bonus so maybe start at a smaller room for a few months.

Yeah full tilt is the best. You get into the depositer freeroll and get a 100% deposit bonus. The site is very good but there are a lot of donks.

If you play tournaments then Pokerstars hands down. Rakeback is irrelevant for tournament players except for very high stake multi tablers.

I would try Full tilt. I personally like there soft ware better and like you said they have the 100k freeroll coming up with a good chance to cash.

You have received a lot of good advice in the posts above. I think it depends on where you like to play more. My preference is for Full Tilt but I like Pokerstars almost equally as well. I wish you the best of luck.

Would anyone mind explaining what a rakeback is and why is it so attractive ? I am also looking to depositing some money but I do not know where.. thank you

If you like tourney's then go to PS. If you like cash games go for FT. Be aware though thats where the best players are. If your looking to play against softer competition then try Bodog or Sportsbook, just not as nearly as much traffic on them two as PS and FT.
