Re: Rakeback vs lower rake
It depends what game and limit you play. If you play NL or PL, I don't think Stars has any lower rake than most other sites.
However, if you play low limit ($1/2 -$ 2/4 - $3/6), you're paying up to 40% less rake at Stars compared to some other sites. 30% non-contributed rakeback is better than 40% lower rake (for a tight player), but if you factor in the Stars VIP program I think it's close.
At $5/10 and higher, you'll find many sites with roughly the same rake structure as Stars AND rakeback (UB, Full Tilt, Absolute ... at the middle limits I hear OnGame isn't that bad either, but don't take my word for it).
