Topic: Ongame Bonus incl Rake vs Stars ... a small calculation Forum: Bonus Whores
Hey guys, just did a little math on my last bonus and would ask you for confirmation ...

I just cleared a $ 100 6x Bonus at Ongame on 1/2, sounds like a good thing.
So I wanted to check what the bonus is in terms of Rakeback or total return.
During the bonus I paid $157 Rake and got the $100 what is like a 60% Rakeback. OK.
If I divide total rake by hands, I get 3.17 BB/100 rake. Hm ... sounds much ... Including the $100 bonus it is like 66% rakeback or about 1.15 BB/100.

I checked on my last 6000 Hands on Pokerstars, there the rake is 2.19 BB/100.
On Crypto I get 1.82 BB/100 but there are some FR games mixed in, so the number might not be correct.

So this sounds to me a little like "pay a lot, get a lot back" In fact the bonus is still fine, but not as good as it sounds first, compared to Stars where I like the software much better it's "only" a 33% rakeback. Imho we should take the rake into account when doing a bonus so the overall numbers (rake - bonus - rakeback) is what pays.

Do you guys have numbers on the rake on other networks in BB/100?
