Default Searching for a site for a startup bonus

I'm after a 2nd site to get a new startup bonus going, and have some ideas of what I want. PS has been good, but my bonus is going to be up soon, then it's no bonus, no rakeback, time to go somewhere else for a while.

I play 2c/5c mainly at the moment so it's not easy to clear, but would think that I'd be playing 5c/10c soonish and hopefully 10c/25c a bit later down the track. I also play 2 tables now, and would try and push that further in the future.

So I'm after a site with some of the following:
1. Bonus points just for playing (I've heard UB pays 1 point per hour per table at any raked game). This would be important while still at the lower limits.
2. Bonus that pays out before the full bonus is cleared, PS only pays once you've cleared it fully.
3. A long expiry date (because I'm on micro limits still, so bonus clearing will be slow)
4. Decent amount of fish, don't want to chase a bonus only to lose my BR in 5 minutes to sharks playing 5c/10c. I can hold my own on PS, but don't want it too much tougher than that.
5. Decent reliable software and network size.
6. Less important, but one where it counted hands dealt to you, not hands where you put money into the pot.

Also a couple of questions on bonuses:
1. Have others put in a higher than normal initial deposit only to take some back out later? I wouldn't deposit the $600 some sites claim as their bonus potential, but I'd like to earn $600 if I'd played enough, rather than capping my future bonuses to $50 or $100. So if they'd let me take $300 or more out a bit later and still let me chase a $600 overall bonus that would be good.
2. Are people here making decent money from reload bonuses? I can only imagine good players could clear bonuses very quickly, so keeping an eye out for reload bonuses would seem quite lucrative.

Currently UB looks pretty good, but I'd like to hear if people have problems with them or if there are better for players at my level.

I'm not a rep of the site, but I know a lot of players turned to BonusWhores.com when starting out trying to maximize bonuses they can get.

But you also should factor rakeback in as well, it can really help you to build your roll over time.

Unfortunately the limits you're playing at are really prohibitive for growing quickly through rakeback or bonuses.

I started with $500 in Dec 2005 playing semi-pro (i.e. still working for "the man") on Party Poker (when U.S. players could still visit) at the 2/4 and below levels for Omaha hi/lo.

Worked my way up to multi-tabling the 10/20 and 15/30 tables and quit my job before the legislation hit, ugh.

Aside from bonuswhores, there's tons of rakeback offers out there. Some advertised here at PokerForums and some at my site.

I also have monthly prizes for members that can help get your roll growing. And I believe the admin of PokerForums.org has run some contests from time to time as well. Nothing wrong with free money, gl!

sb944 beware of start up bonuses specially at your current limit. You will only be getting returned 10% rake back thats if you play for long enough in the time frame they give you. Find at a site with decent rake back 50%+ and you will find that much more accomodating to your circumstances
