I think it has been one of the best rakeback sites for years and has great management.

As the years pass, and the US turns to more of the 'homegrown' poker rooms that will develop as NV, NJ and other states get moving on the inter-state compact poker bandwagon, these rakeback sites may or may not just disappear entirely.
I agree with this somewhat, although if it would be possible to evolve RTR into a site that offered the benefits of PO then it would be great for players because more donks and larger prizepools. However i do say rakeback on the out and out eventually
