    Default Bonuswhoring(+rakeback) as SnG Player?

    I always play my SnG's and MTT's on Stars right now, but there are so many 1st deposit bonuses and rakeback deals out there, that I've been considering to switch sites for a while.
    The problem I'm encountering is traffic, cashgamers can play on lots of sites and still get enough traffic to clear bonuses.
    But us SnG players are gonna get a much harder time clearing bonuses as the traffic on other sites is a lot less.

    Does anyone here have any experience on a site where they give rakeback and it's possible to clear a bonus playing mostly 2-table 6.50$ SnG's? I've looked around but to me it seems that the only site where the traffic on these games is good, is on Stars.

    Thanks,

    Bradley

    I managed it on Titan.

    But I was playing 5s and 10s, 2-4 at a time.

    Suppose it depends how many hours you stick in, I think they give you 3 months to clear the bonus, throwing out 5 bucks at a time.

    Where these 2-Table SnG's ? I'm really gonna have to calculate the rake/points ratio to see if I could clear that, as the traffic is probably a lot less on Titan than on Stars, but I think Titan is softer.
    They do not give rakeback on Titan, am I correct?

    Euro players should have tons of bonus whoring options. If you're dead set on 2-table $6.50's, you're limited, but a good whore has to sleep with whatever John is paying the tab...

    I only played 1 table sngs really, but there are plenty of 2 tables.
    I didn't really have to wait for a game between 6pm & 2am BST or GMT (cant remember which), but it can be a bit slow at other times.

    As for rakeback, I'm not sure exactly what constitutes rakeback, but via the player points, you can firstly get your depositers bonus and secondly exchange the points for cash ot torney buyins. Is that classed as rakeback?

    Dan:

    If you aren't familiar with rakeback, you might check out rakebacknation.com. Especially if you're a winning player. You shouldn't be playing without it.

    I still don't get it. I'm assuming you in some way get some of the rake you have paid back, but whats the difference between that and player points? Or is the rakeback on top of player points?

    hmmmmm, I'm gonna read the ftr rakeback link!
