I'm playing on there without a bonus to work off... although that's because the only money I have on there comes from a freeroll... it is a good piece of advice generally, though - if you're not earning rakeback or clearing a bonus, then you're missing out on money... Sites like Party and Stars offer some occasional reload bonuses, and most other sites have rakeback or some reload bonuses, so most site you play at you can be getting extra while you play...
