Hopefully you all saw this in the email that went out yesterday. In 2010 we're offering bonuses to our higher volume players that show consistency. Details here: http://www.rakebacknation.com/2010-rake-challenge
Value here stacks of course, so you'll earn your rakeback/prop rate, promos that the sites run themselves (when applicable - obv not at most prop sites), races and chases, Rake Rewards, and the Rake Challenge bonus.
My hope is two-fold: that it gives you one more reason to sign up for all sites with RBN since rake across all rooms count towards this. And also that it will motivate some of you to put in a consistent effort each month. Many of you are pros and semi-pros, and I know how tough it is to put in consistent action each month. It's a tough way to make a living, and one of the toughest things to do is to stay motivated to grind day after day month after month. Hopefully a bit of financial motivation will help you do that. We built it based on 10 months instead of 12 so that you could take a few breaks for sanity purposes (or the WSOP or whatever) and not be punished.
We're cutting are margins very thin with this promo, strictly by the numbers we'll likely be taking a loss on many individuals. But I really like the long-term nature of the promotion and hope that it works out well for many of you. Some of you will just keep doing what you're doing and get a nice end of year bonus.
This is far from official, but I'm hoping to bump up the prizes a bit with some help from a few poker rooms. No specific known yet, but I'll be working on it.
Questions or thoughts on this, please do let me know.
