About Rakeback

Poker Rakeback might seem like a hard concept to understand, but once it has been explained to you in simple terms it’s actually quite simple to understand. The first thing you need to understand is whether you play at an online casino or a live casino the poker rooms take a small percentage of the pot to keep for profits; this is called rake. Rake is how poker rooms generate an income to keep their doors open to poker players.

Although the rake is only a small percentage of the pot, it does take away from potential winnings that you have. Now we never want to totally eliminate rake because the online and live poker rooms will no longer be able to run, but this is where rakeback comes into play. Rakeback has been introduced to online poker, and is where players who are playing receive a percentage of the rake they have contributed back into their account balance. Depending on the online poker site, the rakeback players can receive are usually around 20-35%.

For a quick example of rakeback, lets say you have played for 3 hours at the $1/$2 No Limit Holdem tables each day in a week. During that time you have contributed $200 in rake to the online poker site. If you were not receiving rakeback you would see none of this money back in your account. Now with a 30% rakeback deal you would receive $60 in rakeback given back to your account balance, which you can play with, withdrawal, whatever you want to do with (it’s all yours).
