Poker Rakeback Deals
What is Rake?
Rake is how poker rooms make their money. That is the money that the poker rooms deduct from every pot. Usually the rake is a couple of percent with a cap at around $3 at the highest limits. There is also rake on tournaments, where the large portion of the buy in goes to the prize pool, and a little fee goes to the poker site.
The poker rooms make huge money from the rake the players contribute with. It is not unusual that a single player pay $3000 to the poker room every month, and that’s just one player. A poker room with more than 10,000 active players earns quite a lot of money to say the least.
If you want to get rakeback you have to sign up at a poker room through a special link (which lets the poker room know that they must give you rakeback (as normal players do not automatically get rakeback). All of the poker links and banners on pokerrakebackdeals.co.uk entitle you to rakeback.
A referring rakeback site earns a couple of percent of your total rake back, but the major part of it goes back into your bankroll.
Some of the poker variations are better suitable for a rakeback deal. If you play shorthanded
poker, you are involved in more pots, and therefore pay more rake (and can potentially earn more rakeback). If you play at more than one table at the time you also play more hands, and pay more rake. When you are involved in a lot of pots you should definitely play with
rakeback - otherwise you are really throwing away a LOT of money unnecessarily.
There is no downside to rakeback - you will earn a lot of extra cash, or save cash depending on how you look at it. Just do it!
