It is true that you are losing a lot of money not playing with rake back, however that does not mean it is not worth playing without it.

It is a long process to become a winning player , once you do the rake will be a small percentage of your profit - so you CAN have a profit without rake.

As for iron man, whats wrong with it? Its a free roll with a chance to win some money.

It took me over 6 month to become a slight winner in the game. I've deposited over $400 in these last 6 month and now, my last deposit of $100 is very close to $400. So it does take a of hands to become better in this game.

Good luck

Danny

I actually just e-mailed full tilt asking if there was any way for me to get a rakeback affiliate to back my already preexisting account. If this doesn't work I'm gonna start playing NL cash at UB, which offers 30% rakeback anyways.

wow. my mistake. that's like.. gross.

Im confused, why would you go to ultimate bet when you could just go to stars? They only charge 5% rake at low limits or so i hear... Makes more sense then discusting UB:P I highly doubt that they will let u add affiliate to your preexisting account, if they do let me know. If they dont and you made a new account how do they catch us? Ip trackers?

but what is rakeback and how do you activate it

You can ask ciso how they figured out he had 2 accounts. They said no to adding rakeback, which I'm really not surprised about.

Ultimate Bet has excellent software, decent player base and 30% rakeback offered at most affiliate sites. Although I do play at Jokerstars, once you are playing NL50 or higher the FPPs you accumulate should be pretty equal to rakeback from most other sites, especially if you are goldstar or above. Only the really crazy people have +goldstar.

Type "rakeback" into google and let a wealth of info splash over you. Look for a site that offers rakeback and then you'll figure it out.

Unless you're at platinum and enjoy wheeling and dealing Ipod nanos/concierge service, the FPPs on stars are NO where near the level of rakeback.

I could rack up platinum quite easy when I played there and my mate is supernova. Once you get it, it's not too difficult to maintain.
