rakeback on Ultimate?

I am fairly new to Ultimate. I got there via the thisisthenuts site, which claims to pay 30% rake back. Each day I check the Poker Tracker stats to see how much rake I paid. Then I check the rake back site to see how much I got. It appears that the actual amount of rake back given is 17% to 18%, and not anywhere near 30%. Is this a mistake on my part? Has anyone else noticed this.

if you are from usa, then ub takes significant cut off your mgr.

PT stats arent necessarily close to actual MGR anyway. They are calculated differently. And yes, if you are from the USA, sites are deducting some MGR simply b/c they can. Does anybody know how much AP takes off the top?

What a rip off !

I unfortunately got on Full Tilt before I knew about rake back and can't get it there.

I also noticed the rate at which you clear bonus is very slow on Ultimate. It seems to be about $2 per 100 hands, and doesn't seem to be much faster as you move up in limits.

UB sucks unbelievably. Even keeping money there is risky IMO. They change bonus/rakeback terms whenever they feel like it. They randomly lock accounts for no reason at all or what they call "bonus abuse."
