Why do lower limit players play on PStars w/ no rakeback??

[akvsaq]

**I'm wondering why lower stakes limit players would play on Poker Stars w/ no rakeback. I hear you can get points and it is equivalent to something like 15-20% rakeback or something but why not play at a site w/ 25% or more CASH rakeback?

AM I MISSING SOMETHING??

If I was able to get 25%+ rakeback at PStars, I'd move instantly!

Game selection. You can always find games at all limits.

A lot of the other sites are closed for US citizens.

And I guess a lot of players don't care which site they're playing at. But pokerstars is exposed via various big tournaments.

And finally, most low-limit players are random players, who have no idea what rakeback is.

People just don't really know better. Stars is the biggest and therefore people tend to play there. The same reason people were playing at Party before, most didn't have RB yet still played there.

Here's the forumula...

Rakeback < Bonus < Bonus+Rakeback < Fish


The real answer to your question, however, is that most players don't know about Rakeback.
