what is rakeback?.....i must be an alien ......anyone?arty:
Of all of them, Sportsbook is the easiest of the 3 to fund, they can take credit cards, I normally use a prepaid card like netspend. I recently just signed up for a card from www.entropay.com but have not used it yet
Pretty crazy, so Carbon is gonna stop taking new players, but let current ones keep playing? This doesn't make sense to me. My only theory is perhaps they can not get US deposits in, but can still send out payouts? Anyways looks like soon bodog will be the only game in town and how long can that last before our government gets them too.....According to a post in the General Poker forum here at CC today, SportsBook and 1 other site will stop accepting new US players on May 1st. The post says that existing US players will be allowed to continue paying. So if you wanna play on SB, you better open your account soon........
....and the walls came tumbling down.

Bodog did away with freerolls in which anyone could sign up. right now you'd have to deposit for the first time to play in any of there free rolls.
Actually FWIW you can play in two 25 point freerolls (qualify for $7500 Twice Monthly Freeroll) without making a deposit...
i'm afraid none of that is true man i've tried and tried i get a message telling me to purchase ecash so......i did get the 50 points but worthless.......YOU HAVE TO MAKE A DEPOSIT but why is there a check fee/bank fee on bodog for depsoit?

Thank-you Mods.!!! omfg that guy was puttin' me on life tilt (not this thread obv.) Hope his cheque gets lost in cyber-space..... maybe he can now multi-account on HustlerPoker.
I think that the merge network has a larger player pool than Bodog. And it's getting bigger very quickly. The guarantees on all the merge MTTs have gone up around 50%. Even their weekly sunday $109 buyin has gone from 50k to 75k now.
They've also added some more mid stakes tournies, which were needed to attract more traffic.
Just a heads up, rakeback is only for the buy in fees that you ACTUALLY pay for, if you say win a 11 sat. (.35 of 1 dollar. fee) and you get a 60 sat. You do not get rakeback for the 60 dollar event. So unless you plan on buying into a 60 sat. yourself, rakeback is not good because they basically take 35% of your pts. away.Every time you play a real money ring game the online poker room takes a percentage of the pot - normally 5 to 10%. Rakeback gives you back some of the rake you personally contributed to the pot.
You can get back 33% or more. It's a way of encouraging you to play at that particular poker room. The more you play, the more rake you generate, the more you get back - you get the idea.
