Discover the Rakeback Opportunity
Unlike an online casino, an online poker site never bets against the players. Instead, it charges the players a fee to use the poker server.
There are two kinds of fees: rake collected from ring game pots and entry fees charged in tournaments.
Each poker site has its own "rake schedule" that defines the amount of rake that is removed from each ring game pot.
These vary by site, but a typical rake schedule is 10% of the pot in increments of $0.25 up to a maximum of $3.
In a $1-$2 game where the average pot is $12, the average rake would be around $1.25, or about 12 cents per player per hand.
In games with stakes of $5-$10 and above, the pot is usually large enough that the maximum rake of $3 is applied to every pot.
Some sites don't charge any rake if everybody folds before the flop ("no flop no drop") and most sites reduce the rake when games
get short-handed.
Tournament entry fees are typically 10% for the lower-stakes events: $1 for a $10 buy-in (written as $10+$1),
$2 for a $20 buy-in, and so on. The $10 goes into the prize pool and the $1 goes to the house. The entry fee for
larger buy-in events is usually a smaller percentage, for example $100+$9 or $300+$20.
Automated Rakeback
The automated rakeback program allows players to get a % of the rake collected by the poker room back.
There is tremendous competition in the online poker market and with new players joining every day, some poker sites
see the rakeback offer as a way to attract and retain players. Some of our rakeback players are receiving a few
thousand dollars a month in rakeback payments.
