Bonuses and rakeback

[Scooper]

Sites like Absolute Poker deduct bonuses from rakeback so does it make any difference reloading for a bonus? It doesn't seem to.

Re: Bonuses and rakeback Do they deduct the full bonus, or the rakeback percentage of the bonus? I think, on Full Tilt, the way it works is that you lose the rakeback percentage of any bonus (so 27%) - meaning that you do still actually earn 73% of the bonus - I presume it's the same on Absolute? Anyone know how it works on Stars? As there's no actual rakeback (jusr bonuses), I presume nothing hits your rakeback equivalent? I've just gone up to "silverstar" which I notice gets me in a weekly $30k freeroll - I presume if I dont play it, then I'm just losing the benefit, so I may as well play it, even if it's a case of going all in every hand until I bust (or have a stack)? Or do I lose VPPs if I play the freeroll?
