------If stars had rb i would never play anywhere else again.

Stars does have rakeback in the form of FPPs and a lower rake than the average site.

I already play just at Stars. FPPs are close enough to rakeback for me. plus, i like being able to ask for a check and have them send it to me. also, i enjoy not having my account locked for no reason.

There would be a lot more poker bots on Stars if they had rakeback.

Why should rakeback affect the number of bots, bots can get FPPs too. If you leave your bot playing enough it'll surely hit supernova and then you're matching all the top rakeback deals on the major sites. I think it'll be the server monitoring software on each individual site that will determine which sites have an inflated number of bots, if i was a botter i would target the sites i thought were easiest to get over on.

I voted Yes, but on second thought FTP would be a lot softer. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

That's a lot of $$$$ to miss out on while trying to earn supernova.

With stepping Bonuses, pretty sure that once you get in the 300k VPP range, you're beating the pants of 27% RB, and it only gets better from there.

[/ QUOTE ]i once earned a cash bonus with my fpp and nearly busted myself at the end earning the last 2,000 points, but all was well because i reached the bonus amount before going busto. only to my shock and horror i find out i now have to earn 2,000 points to clear a bonus that i had just paid 25,000 points for. i had $90 bucks to clear it with or else i was broke. hardly comparable to the rakeback i get from tilt on the 18th of every month. it is my fault that i overlooked the clearing conditions when i bought and saved up for the bonus but comparing that to rakeback is absurd.

Almost as absurd as running your account down to $90...

As long as you don't play differently when clearing a bonus, and you're going to continue to play on stars as your site its exactly the same. The difference is just in your head.
