You may heard an opinion that playing with rakeback is much better than any bonuses, this is correct but only on high limits (minimum 3/5). For such limit very large bankroll needed for long term stable play (over 400-600 per table min.) and this is only on limit tables, nl require much more. Most players play low limit tables 2/4 or less, so here bonuses more preferable as additional income.
