Basics of Rakeback

The online poker room makes its profit by taking away a small part of the pot after every hand played which is known as rake. Typically the rake is 5% online but may differ with each poker room. When a player plays large volumes a small portion of the rake is paid back to him each month. This may initially start off being small but as the player continues to play, the ‘rakeback‘ received grows substantially.

There are a few things you have to remember when choosing your rakeback room. You can only do one Poker Source Online promotion per online poker room which includes rakeback promotions. Thus if you have a free gift promotion or Instant Bankroll promotion for a poker room, you do not qualify to do rakeback with that same room. Some online poker rooms allow you to earn your deposit bonus while accumulating rakeback, while others require you to earn the bonus first, and then start getting rakeback. As far as payment is concerned some online poker rooms will deposit your rakeback directly into your online poker account, whereas with some rooms, your rakeback will be awarded in PSO points. The online poker rooms keep track of your rake and rakeback and provide you with a report. Complete rules and terms can be found once you begin the signup process.

To gauge the veracity and trustworthiness of the online poker room you must try and find out as much about it as possible through customer feedbacks, customer forums, messages posted on their website from experienced players etc.

Rake Rebate Program Details

Absolute Poker Rakeback

Absolute Poker is one of the most popular choices for rakeback because it is the only room which allows you to earn your deposit bonus and your full rakeback simultaneously. Payments are made directly to your Absolute Poker account each month.

Ultimate Bet Rakeback

Ultimate Bet is also a very popular rakeback room as you can earn deposit bonuses at the same time as your rakeback, but for Ultimate Bet, you only earn partial rakeback until your bonus is cleared. Plus, the PSO points you earn through rakeback at Ultimate Bet will be credited to your PSO account twice per month.

Titan Poker Rakeback

Titan Poker will deposit your rakeback directly into your Titan account automatically each month. With Titan, you can also earn rakeback on your tournament entry fees.

Full Tilt Poker Rakeback

Full Tilt Poker is one of the most popular poker rooms. The Full Tilt Poker rakeback is transferred to your poker account. Full Tilt Poker includes tournament fees in the rake but deducts bonuses and other fees from your rake before calculating your rakeback.

Sun Poker Rakeback

Formerly known as Caribbean Sun, Sun Poker will deposit your rakeback directly into your poker account once a month. Deposit bonuses need to be cleared before you will start earning rakeback.

Aztec Riches Poker Rakeback

Aztec Riches is one of the PSO point rakeback rooms. Your PSO account is directly credited with your points once a month. You can start earning rakeback right away at Aztec Riches, but it works a bit differently from the other rooms. Any pending deposit bonus is subtracted from your PSO points, so you might lose PSO points the first month. Once you work through the bonus, you will have earned back all the PSO points you lost and will be in the positive from then on.
