What a rakeback percentage is actually worth, in dollars, per game type

[Perfectbaby]

Most gamblers I think do not play for the rakeback at all, they play because they are gamblers and because of other benefits like weekly or monthly bonuses which compared to rakeback are substantial amounts.

That is true because when I am gambling I do not really think about those weekly and monthly bonuses because when you are looking at all these things you could be that hard to really focused while gambling because I think that is the only way where gambling site could keep player playing in their gambling site just to make sure that gamblers would keep entangling on their gambling site.
Although, this is not just about the rakeback but the fun they would be deriving from the gambling site is what matters alot.

I also see these weekly and monthly bonuses as very good deterrence in fighting your gambling addiction in case you have one. For example I wait patiently for the weekly bonus and monthly bonus and I use them to have some fun while at the same time refraining to deposit big amounts of money in short amounts of time. Of course I still do deposit yet I am feeling good compared to when I even maxed out my credit card just to fuel my gambling addiction.

People rationalize they are being given money for free or that they are saving money, when in reality it is all a well calculated strategy put in place in order to make gamblers and creditors to consume more.

No business gives money for free, They give Rakeback which looks profitable for the player,
But as you said everything already has its calculations and this will also affect the psychology of each player.

Rakeback 3%-5%, but spend more money than usual just on a small rakeback.
be wiser and know how to do game management in gambling, because the casino will not be responsible with losing bigger money,
this is a game and it should be the game there will be wins and losses.

I am sure businesses, both banks and casinos, see rakeback/Cashback as a investment. They purposely give up on part of their income or profits, so in the long term they get even more money.
One think is the fake perception people have on those perks, as of they were getting money for free from casinos, and a different thing is what actually happens in the book-keeping of casinos and banks. In reality, rakeback and Cashback prompts people to spend more and gamble more and that is what matters in the eyes of those businesses.

Some still t hink it means extra chance of profit, so they bet the rakeback amount in order to try recovering their money, but it doesn't change anything on long run. That is why I enjoyed giveaways much more than anything casinos offer these days. Unfortunatelly giveaways are extinct, as these businesses don't feel like they need pleasing customers that way in order to have them loyal ro their platforms.

Why will casinos continue to give out giveaways when they know that nothing that they are doing is going to keep gambling customers anymore when they are not winning as they will always want to try out newer casino as they will think that their luck can help them over that casino and they win since the current casinos that they are using is not favouring them. Also those that want to use their rakeback to gamble futher in attempt to win back their money or to reduce their losses can not succeed because of the mentality they have going into that game that even though they would have won, things go against them immediately they start playing.
