Should I skip the initial deposit bonus?

[JustTheTipPlz]

I just got my rakeback account verified for Full Tilt. I wanted to know if I should take the initial deposit bonus or just wait to get it back in rake since it would be deducted from my net rake anyways. Any thoughts on what way would get me the money more quickly?

Take the initial bonus its always better to recieve it when you earn it instead of waiting for a week. Also it just goes to net rake not actual total so its actually 66% in your favor to do it with the initial bonus.

my roomate just signed up for full tilt through rakeback and he got rakeback and the initial bonus was automatic.

of course take the $600 bonus. you will only recevive 73% of it after deductions however.

The sign up bonus is added money. Any bonus is deducted from your rake before rakeback is calculated, not from rakeback.

Here's how it works:
You pay $1,000 rake and clear the $600 bonus.
Your Full Tilt rakeback is therefore ($1,000 - $600) * 27% = $108
Total gain including bonus $600 + $108 = $708
