Sun Poker number crunching question

[WhatDoesCallMean]

just a little easy question for those of you that are good crunching the numbers.....

im changing my Sun Poker affiliate and am trying to decide who im going to move to.

am i better off signing up for Sun Poker through BW in order to get the extra $100 each month even though their RB is only 30% and is a little bit lower than i can get elsewhere?

im planning (with a little help from some guy on BW who posted his plan) to let my monthly bonus stack for 3 months and then clear that $300 with the BW $100 in one month - $400 for 1500MPPs in one month.

my question is this - is the extra $100 bonus worth it every 3 months or is 32% RB better if i clear the monthly bonus during each particular month?

ill be playing mainly 2/4 6max and will only play enough each month/3 months to clear the bonus

hope the above makes sense....im not looking for 100,000 PMs about which affiliate i should sign up through - i have my 2 decided already depending on which method works out best [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

SunPoker has a $100 reload bonus every month now, no matter which affiliate you sign up through.

there is an additional $100 for reaching 1500MPPs if you sign up through BW, as well as Sun Poker's own monthly $100 bonus.

as to my original question, when i thought about it myself, it seemed obvious that a slightly lower RB with an extra $100 is waaaaaay better [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

playing 2/4 limit 6max my MGR is for 500MPPs around $160 ($2/4) or around $250 (£2/4). so with 32% rakeback for 1500MPPs there is a lot more to gain with a rakeback affiliate.

From my understanding of the BW bonus, what is being asked is whether $100 is worth more or less than 2% rakeback (32-30, since you get 30 with BW in ADDITION to the extra $100) while clearing 1500 MPPs.

Using ninenine's numbers, the answer would be heavily in favour of the $100. If I am reading those numbers corectly, 160 x 3 = 480 x 2% = $9.60 < $100.

I wonder why Bonuswhores started offereing rakeback. Doesnt seem to make much sence.

It's a moot point now. Starting September 1, they're offering both 32%-35% rakeback and the extra $100 bonus that clears concurrently with the regular $100 monthly.

Am I understanding this correctly, that if I didnt sign up under BW I can still get $200 monthly instead of just $100?

I'll have to double check this but I do not think just anyone can get the 1500 MPP $100 bonus. I think you have to be tied in with an affiliate that has been cleared for that bonus.

For example on the old BW tracker players got the 1500 MPP $100 bonus, when the rakeback tracker was created players could not get the 1500 MPP bonus for August because it was not entered in Sun's system soon enough before August started. Players on the rakeback tracker have to wait until September to qualify for the extra $100. Many players played the 1500 MPP's and were unable to get the extra bonus from Sun Poker this month. Since these players on the new tracker could not get the extra $100 in August I would have to say it is affiliate specific.

From the above information, unless it is across the board for September, you have to be tied to an affiliate that has the $100 MPP 2nd bonus. I can double check this in the morning to be 100% sure.

Just a few questions guys. Are CarribeanSunPoker and SunPoker different skins? Assuming they're different, do you need a PIN for Sun Poker cashouts?
