What's the best deal for pokerroom network?

[MarkSummers]

I'm a 10-20, 15-30 and sometimes 25-50 player on pokerroom netowork. What's the better bonus option?

A: Hollywood poker bonus that has $10,000 released in $50 incriments after every 750 player points. Or.....

B: 25% R***b**k at Eurobet

I'm wondering where I should play because it's the same game anyway. Thanks.

I'm guessing that rakeback is better longterm. Why not get the euro bonus +rakeback after you clear the bonus?

[MarkSummers]

what factors swayed you in your "guess" ?

Also what's the eurobet bonus?

[ImsaKidd]

Eurobet is $600 bonus.

IIRC, the hollywood bonus is impossibly difficult to clear. At the limits you play, the bonuses arent such a huge boost to your BR. Just pick where you want to play.

A 15x points bonus is going to be much better than 25% rakeback. Exactly how much better depends on whether you play full ring or shorthanded, and what % of pots you win. I'm pretty sure even a laggy shorthanded player will beat 25% rakeback with this offer.

By the way, where are you finding a 15x points offer for the $10,000 bonus? Did you already deposit for this a while back? Best I can find anymore at that clearance @ hollywood is $500 per month through bonuswhores.

I have been doing the hollywood poker one at 5/10 3/6 full, 6 tables and it works out to be about $30 per hour

Isn't Bayou bonus 50% RB equivalent?

Bayou has a max 2k a week withdraw policy. This guy plays pretty high and if he goes on a heater he wont even be able to withdraw the money quickly.

I'd do both (the Hollywood bonus gives you a lot of time to clear it) since Eurobet's $600 sign up bonus should fly by at those limits and you'd get some rb money in addition to that. However, the Hollywood deal is about 46% NON-contributed rb if you play full ring games (Eurobet rb and Bayou's deal are both contributed). It's half that SH though. BTW, you can get rb deals at Hollywood too I believe.

I think it's safe to discuss rakeback in regards to sites where it doesn't violate their T$C.

The eurobet bonus is subtracted from MGR, so no rakeback on top.

[RobDoral]

A 10x PR skin bonus usually has the player paying more rake than they get back as a bonus. The Eurobet bonus is essentially 70% rakeback for full ring games. Yes the bonus would get subtracted from a player's MGR but there's still that other 30% to take 25% rb from. We're not talking about a ton of money, but it should be a little extra.

And if a player didn't clear the all or nothing bonus in a single month, but rather waited until the following month, the RB playment plus bonus might be significant. Though it would take a while to dig out of the -MGR hole that would result to ever get another rb payment (and you might piss off your affiliate).

You get 0.07 points per $0.10 of rake in the pot. So for each $50 you need 750 points which is $1071 of rake from the pot.

10-handed that's $50 back per $107 rake you pay - i.e. equivalent to just under 50% rakeback.
6-handed that's $50 back per $178 rake you pay - i.. 28% rakeback.

So looks like Hollywood is the better bet (other than when clearing the eurobet deposit bonus) if you play full-ring with not a lot between them if you play shorthanded. Can't remember whether rake (for rakeback purposes) is based on contributed rake there - if so then the actual effective rakeback % at hollywood is gonna vary dependent on how tight you play.

10000$ do not last forever like rakeback

[RobDoral]

RB on the PR skins is contributed the bonuses aren't if you're doing one of the player points deals (though I don't know if it's proportional too or if you just get an even share of the credit for whatever pot you've added to).

IMO it's of course worth it to get RB if you can on the PR skins especially since you'll get some RB even while clearing a bonus but if you have to choose between clearing a bonus and the RB, the bonuses are better. And there are a ton of skins on the network with a steady string of them being added so bonuses have been very plentiful (10x pts per $1 has been the standard) if you don't mind bouncing from site to site. Even Bayou's bottomless bonus, which is bacially 50% RB (with a club cash thing that adds a few extra %)is going to beat 25% RB with no other concurrent deals.

Hollywoood has also been offering monthly reloads of up to $1000 (I forget the pts required to clear) so while RB may be long term, Hollywood's bonuses might be as well. And since the 10x pts bonuses always result in some profit for the the PR skins, I think we'll see frequent reload offers (which makes up a bit for their higher than avg. rake, except that they cap rake at $3, so higher stakes players get the best deal)

Last thing: I believe that I read that one of Eurobet's main casino competitors has bought the ongame network and there was speculation that Eurobet might move networks again.
