As the owner of a rakeback site, I often see players sign up to a poker room and then leave their accounts unused and eventually abandon them altogether. These guys have all made a bad decision when they signed up in the first-place: they misjudged either the bonus offer, or they paid no attention to a detail that eventually made the whole deal lose value for them. Sure, there’s no harm done since it doesn’t cost these guys anything to sign up, but they could’ve probably all saved themselves time and frustration had they paid better attention to the details.

Nowadays, the competition in the online poker industry is quite unprecedented. While the existing poker rooms pull out the heavy artillery to pound their adversaries into submission, new ones appear on the battlefield each day, every one with the intent to capture players'  attention and thus attract as many rake-generating contributors as possible.
