the PokerStars VIP program is the best, nothing even comes close.

Nobel price for that for you viewer88, you save my life with that
I did played on Titan, Fult Tilt, Pacific,Partypoker, Cake poker,betfair, Manchester United Poker and so on...RESULT : not even any of these sites software BETTER THAN pokerstars.
Pokerstars Less Lag, More details in customization of game choices.
Now still playing on 2 sites Full Tilt and Pokerstars.

I play the majority of my poker at pokerstars but I think I am going to move to full tilt for the rakeback. I think I am going to use fulltilt for cash games and stars for MTT's and SNG's. The problem is my stars and full tilt accounts aren't linked to pokerstrategy website as I was already a member before I joined here 
I am thinking about moving part of my bankroll to stars or fulltilt. I think fulltilt would be better because there is rakeback, but will I get it if I didn't enter any bonus code when I registered?
To get rakeback you will need to enter a code, I don't think any sites would give rakeback for the sake of it, but I may be wrong!

there are some nice scripts out there you press like P and it auto makes ur bet size to pot size
Damn this is gayness. I play on FTP because the playstyle fits me better ( im hyperLAG fr-player) And I put a lot of volume in.
The rakeback is only like 0.5bb/100 so its like nothing compared to the advantages playing on stars ( traffic/ bad players, better software )
And also, on Pokerstars you also have rakeback, FPP is also rakeback, if you count rakeback pure in cash than youre just stupid.
My advice ( to all players ) Rakeback is bullshit, just go for stars or move to FTP because the playstyle fits you.
Ow, no skilled players allowed on FTP, only fish
Hi guys,
I believe it is important for you to realize that just because a site doesn't allow 'rakeback' that it doesn't automatically not give you a return on your rake.
Most sites that don't allow affiliates to give rakeback have some sort of Loyalty or VIP system (e.g. PokerStars, Everest, Mansion, Titan, bet365, PartyPoker etc)
These systems generally function by letting you collect points which you then trade in for money in their shops. This is basically the same thing as rakeback - except directly through the poker room. Some loyalty programs allow the members to receive anywhere from 20% to 70% of their rake back - which is much more than through regular "rakeback" and why many high volume players prefer playing at PokerStars (since at Full Tilt all they get is "just 27% rakeback")
I personally don't play at rakeback sites a lot since fishyness is my main criteria (not that there aren't fishy rakeback sites!) and most loyalty systems easily reach the 20-30% rakeback border anyway.
Best regards

How about party poker(and his promotions) for BRB?
If you have PartyPoker's regular loyalty program and add special promotions such as the current Gladiator: http://www.pokerstrategy.com/news/pokerstrategy/PartyPoker-The-Gladiator-Promotion-is-Back_25761 you can also reach pretty good rakeback amounts, especially if you are also clearing bonuses which they often give out to players.

But at Fulltilt you get the rakeback PLUS ftp points PLUS Iron Man.... Is the Pokerstars VIP system better than all these things combined?

I dought it. I play Full-Tilt, no other site (including pokerstars) compares.
27% rake back + Iron man mid year and end of year bonus + you can buy bonus's with your iron man medals + now and then they offer you bonus like take 2 etc.
Simpley put FT is a poker players best friend and they spoil you rotten.
...
OH ONE OTHER THING..........You can play 1.5x as many hands per hour per table at full tilt. so the fact you can play more tables at pokerstars doesnt really mean much.

If you have rake back you can't make any profit from bonuses because they are deducted from rake back.

Actually the deductions are small and the bonuses are still very much worth it.
You effectively lose 27% of the bonus total from lost potential rakeback, but of course you're earning yet more rakeback whilst clearing the bonus.
It's all good.

It is not PLUS. When you use FTP and IM Medals his value is deducted from rakeback.
For the really high volume players (Supernova plus)
The bonuses and FPP redemptions are worth 40-50% rakeback.
