    Hi -- it would absolutely be useful to you. No matter what limits you play, the rake is eating into your profit potential. Even if it's only $5 a month you get back, wouldn't you rather have that $5 than not?

    I'd definitely recommend signing up with rakeback any time you join a new site that offers it.

    I joined Cake Poker through the pocket fives rakeback program and have played about 4,000 hands, mainly at the .05/.10 no limit level.

    I will be getting some money back after only three weeks of play. About $20.00. I think for a micro stakes player this is a pretty nice boost every month.

    The total in month two and beyond should be higher since they apply and one time deposit fee to the first month total (-$7.85 from a $150 deposit). One other thing about Cake is that the deposit bonus is subtracted from the rakeback total. Still very much worth it.

    200 big blinds in rakeback for only ~4k hands played is pretty awesome. Regardless of the stakes, accumulating a couple of full buy-ins in rakeback is a huge boost to one's EV. Best of luck at the tables. :)
