Thomas: I have been playing midstakes for a few years now and have been padding my bankroll with bonus, VIP system and raceback returns pretty much since the beginning.
I rake more than $1,500 every month and my two main rooms are Gala Poker and Everest Poker, these are the best rooms for players who put in a lot of volume.
There are two $10,000 Gala Poker races and three $5,000 Everest Poker races this month, both of them are set to pay out around 35-40% in raceback returns in July.
I'm usually around Level 8 on Everest Poker's VIP Program which gives me an additional return of 36%. The oher big source of my profit is the Gala Poker VIP Program. After registering through Rakerace.com I was automatically put on the highest VIP level (contact support to opt-in!) that guarantees me a 36% on my play, which is a decent chunk of my monthly profits.
Peter: I'm a part time player who prefers to play on the iPoker network. I've always liked the network and have played in several rooms, grinding out the deposit bonuses and getting extra returns from the exclusive races.
Mybet, PaddyPower Poker and Betfair are my favorite rooms in the network, these races generally run with fewer entrants so even a part-time player has a great chance of making good returns.
I usually generate around $600-$1500 rake in a month and this is usually enough for a top 5/top3 finish in one of the races. I like these rooms because they have a sports betting section, which means there are plenty of players on the site who are ready to gamble at the poker tables aswell.
Each of these rooms also have great VIP programs and first deposit bonuses, check out the room review pages for more info!
Sam: I have been a recreational player for a long while and have tried pretty much every room throughout the years. I believe that for a player like me, currently the best value is in the smaller networks/standalone sites because the players are worse compared to the big networks.
Intertops Poker is running an $1,500 exclusive race in the second half of the month which will provide a 31% return as of the latest update. Intertops also has a decent first deposit bonus but the biggest value in my opinion is in the 36% dealt rakeback! This is my main room right now and with the rakeback I get great returns on my play which helps a lot when I'm running bad.
There are a couple of other rooms that I play in, for example TigerGaming in the Chico network. The players are very bad compared to the bigger networks and they have an amazing first deposit bonus that provides a 55% return!
I also like Unibet, because they often have cool promotions (I played against Isildur1 in one of them!) and because they are focused on the recreational players. There is no table selection which means I wont be a victim of "bumhunting" either. There are two €1,500 races every month with 12 paying spots and I can usually reach these even though I don't put in huge volume.
We hope that you can relate to our players' experiences and that it helps you in choosing a room! If you are still unsure, feel free to contact Rakerace.com support, they will gladly help you with your decision!
