...So, Full Tilt won't offer me a rakeback deal so I'm looking for a new poker site to sign up to where I'll be able to get rakeback. I'd like to hear your reviews of other sites that I may like to consider.

Thanks

This question has been asked before, can probably find quite a bit by searching this section. Here's a pretty extensive list of sites to search. ~edit~

Sorry, copy/pasted from the wrong place, this should work... https://www.cardschat.com/announcement.php?f=13

I see absolute poker is not listed, which shares tables with UB but can have an account at each (just can't log in to both at once).

Make sure you check how each site calculates rakeback. Some sites use the contributed method to calculate rake and you won't get as much rakeback. If I remember correctly UB and Absolute use the contributed rake method. Sites on the Cake network use the dealt method to calculate rake. You make money on every hand you are dealt as long as there is money raked to the site on the hand. It can make a big difference.

I don't like any of the other poker sites (although I play at a few of them). Find Fulltilt the best by far. Too bad about the rakeback thing.

I don't find the rakeback to be that much money really. I'm sure it would be if one was multi-tabling at 50NL a few hours each day or something (even then, you're earning FTPs which you can then use for tournament entries.... if you use FTPs while collecting rakeback, it's subtracted from your rakeback). Playing a few hundred in sng & mtt buyins I don't ever get much back in a week (I get about one buyin back for free if I'm lucky, lol). My actual total rakeback for the past year is -$22 ('minus' $22.... yup that's right... 'minus'. How could it be minus? I used to play a handful of the 650FTP sng satellites to the 2,500FTP tournaments & when I first began playing them I played enough of them to lose a ton of rakeback, lol).
Even if I wasn't getting rakeback I'd still play on Fulltilt. But for sure it depends upon what type of game you're playing and at what limits.

WSEX poker gives you 65% rakeback for cash tables. And you should try bodog poker. I dont think bodog has rakeback but you get up to 100% of your deposit back 1 month after you deposit.
