Party Poker Network: Independent Rakeback: VIP Signup bonus: $150

Party Poker doesn’t offer any rakeback, but they do have a 30% match on player’s initial deposits, up to $150. That may not seem like much compared to some of the other deals presented on this site, but Party Poker offers more residual value than any room, through the excellent promotions and world-class live events it sponsors.

Even though it is no longer THE biggest online poker site, it still features great traffic (more than 50,000 players) and loads of fish.
