Deposit and Withdrawal Time? 2-3 days is fine with me
Minimum Dep and Withdrawal? there should be no min deposit... but with 100k fee i don't see people doing less then 0.01
Rakeback? i don't really worry about the rake back id pref 40% of all rake turned into player tier freerolls
Licenses for your region? never matters rooms with them has scammed before.
Customer support? Language? Live-Chat this is the key.... have nice support not ones who give a fake solution then closes chat.
What currency to host the games in? id pref a currency 1btc=1,000,000 chips
Freerolls?
Free money to sign up? no... because you would need enough to cover all of the players and when there's free money you get 10x the amount how ever much it is i wouldn't trust you had the funds to cover this without proof of your btc holdings.
Rake percentage? 5%
Now for my opinions...
when btc started blowing up there was like 10btc poker rooms "atleast"
swc
betcoin
infiniti
nitrogen
pokerdominico
pocketrockets
satoshipoker
and 2 others that i can't remember
one had a nice vs ai system.
And now swc is dead and betcoin is shit.
I wish i supported some of the other options.
That will be your biggest problem noone wants to play a site with low traffic... so you're gonna have to have an amazing launch....
If your software is good start in ico so you will have good promotions running until the traffic goes from low to med
don't waste funds for no deposit... 90% of people getting this will lose it within 5mins and never play there again.
I think these will get the most traffic for you.
Leagues... freerolls with no prize but ladders every week the top 10players win 0.01btc each
faucet 1k chips per 60mins (10k sat)
For the faucet or any no deposit offers it would be important to add brm feature...
Players can only enter with 5%-10% of there bankroll (Which can be disabled when they reach a higher tier)
this insures they don't play 5mins lose and quit... which will generate more rake plus keep a higher amount of traffic.
I agree with what you are trying to do here by getting input before launch however I think the only important factor is start-up capital.
Programming and developement these days is very cheap compared to the required capital needed to run a gambling site.
I think unless you got at least >25BTC available for gambling capital then the rest shouldn't be attempted.
Reason being you might have a bad week and one whale can take the entire sites BTC wallet and what happens then? Everybody who deposited will get nothing.

That's why there's a rake "fee" if a whale cleans everyone the site doesn't go broke unless...... the owner runs promotions he can't cover
