True, but it's important. Rakeback for me at 10nl turns into about 1/3 BI every 1k hands. For 21k hands in a month, that's $70, or 7 BI. With a 5 ptBB/100, you would "win" 21 BI's, or $210. So the rakeback is a quarter of your earnings. If your winrate is only 2 - 3 ptBB/100, the rakeback bonus is more like 40% of your total earnings. It may take a while to earn it, but it takes a while to win your bankroll, too. And it's too important a part of beating microstakes for a decent rate to ever NOT have it.
