Poker Rakeback

Ask 100 online poker players about rakeback. You will find out that more than 50 players from 100 know nothing about rakeback. Usually players do not pay attention to rakeback. It is sad but it is the truth. A goal of this article is to show that rakeback is very beneficial for every player.



Let's start from the term "rake". Poker room always takes a small part from every pot. It's a payment to a poker room and it is called Rake. Though rake is small it is a main source of income for all poker websites. Rakeback gives you an opportunity to take back to your account a certain part of your rake.
It is not difficult to get rakeback. You need to find a special rakeback provider or "affiliate". Affiliate will help you to get rakeback at any poker room you want. Note, that you can get rakeback at a certain poker room only if you do not have a real money account in this room. If you already have an account you will not be able to get rakeback. You will have to choose another poker room for getting rakeback.

If you want to get rakeback at the poker room but you have an existing account there you can start a new account using other payment details (your brother's or somebody's). But this is not legal and if the room finds out it will block both accounts with all the money. Poker rooms allow to have only one real money account for each person. That's why to get rakeback can be rather difficult sometimes.
Now let's talk about rakeback percents. A normal rakeback starts from 27%. For example the highest rakeback at Full Tilt Poker is 27%. This offer is very good for FTP players. Full Tilt is among the leaders in poker business. If a room is not so popular it will offer 30, 35 or 40 percent rakeback. Some poker sites do not allow rakeback. They have VIP program instead. VIP program is a kind of indirect rakeback. You will not get real money rakeback but you will be able to use other beneficial things in poker rooms with VIP program. For example you will be able to get tournament tickets or spend your VIP points in a special store.

Poker Stars, a leader in poker business, has a very good VIP program. They say that a player can get benefits equal to 60% rakeback at the highest level of their VIP program. It is a good deal. But it is difficult to reach highest VIP level at Poker Stars.

All top rakeback providers also offer special promotions for their customers. Rake races are among the most widespread promotions in poker. You can increase your direct rakeback up to 70% if you win a rake race! Rake Chases are also popular among players.

Doesn't matter what kind of rakeback you like: direct or indirect. You will be able to benefit a lot using rakeback.
