Default Rakeback at Absolute

Was just thinking last night about how absolutely fucking awesome it would be to have rakeback at this site. Not only can you receive $17,000+ in bonuses (according to bonuswhores.com) yearly, but on top of that rakeback and what you make at the tables. Man, if only I did not create an account here already, I would be set. You can literally make a living off this site IMO, and quite a comfortable one at that.

If anyone is looking for rakeback, I suggest you try and find someone that will do it for this site. It would be an utter gold mine.

Why do you say that? Because the players are bad?

That bonus number is a bit misleading, as it requires a LOT of play to get it. And keep in mind, that bonus money is going to come out of your rake, so your rakeback might not be nearly as much as you think...

Oh, I didn't realize that bonus money came out of the rake? How is one to keep track of that?

I was thinking more along the lines of a full-time poker player. I think if I ever were to lose my job, I would actually give it a chance for a month or 2 and see where I end up.

Actually, Absolute does NOT take the bonus out of the monthly generated rake. I can't think of any other sites that do this. People have mention sites like Eurobet and a few Cryptos, but I don't know if it's true.

However, players that rake back at Absolute can get ~20-30% rake back on top of the 10x bonus.

The problem with Absolute includes bad software, you can't always find a table you like, and their raise amounts at NL tables are incorrect.

It's all automated. Basically, poker sites generally pay their affiliates a percentage of the net profits (not straight rake) generated from their players. This means the $ amount after bonuses are paid, etc. Poker Room even takes out fees when players deposit and withdraw. My total Poker Room earnings last month: -$19.96. No kidding.

I'm fairly certain that I've read on another forum that the customer support at Absolute don't mind if you close your account and open another one with rakeback as long as you didn't already sign up through an affiliate.

Of course, this is just something I read so you might want to look into it in more detail.
