What is Rake?
Rake is a fee taken by poker rooms from each pot as their profit. It typically ranges from $0.05 to $3 per pot, depending on the limits you play and the size of the pot.
How much rake do I generate?
Poker rooms track exactly how much rake you pay in each pot, but this amount is not visible in the poker client. You only see the total rake taken out of a pot.
What is rakeback?
Rakeback is a loyalty program for online poker players. With rakeback, you can receive a refund of the rake fees that poker rooms have already taken from you.
How do I get rakeback?
To get rakeback, you need to sign up with a rakeback site, choose a poker room offering rakeback, and follow the sign-up instructions on the poker room's rakeback page.
Can I open another account to get rakeback?
No. Opening multiple accounts with the same personal details is not allowed by poker rooms.
Do I still get bonuses if I sign up for rakeback?
Yes, you are eligible for the sign-up bonus and other bonuses unless otherwise specified.
Do bonuses affect my rakeback?
Generally, bonuses credited to your account affect your rakeback. Rakeback is a rebate from the profit you generate for the poker room. If the poker room pays out a bonus, it usually gets deducted from the total rake before calculating your rakeback.
Where do rakeback payments come from?
Rakeback payments are typically made directly into your poker account by the site.
Do I get rakeback from tournament fees?
This depends on the poker room. Some rooms offer rakeback on tournament fees, while others do not.
