Understanding Rakeback

Only a few online poker rooms offer rakeback to players. “Rake” is the amount of money that a poker room takes back from the pot as fee when you play for real money on the site. Typically, a small percentage of up to 5% is taken out of the pot as part of the rake. The amount that poker rooms earn out of this will be contingent on the amount of money the players put into the pot during the game. For example, if the pot is $100 and the room charges 3% rake, the poker room will earn $3.

When the online room returns a portion of this rake to players, it is called rakeback. With PKR rakeback you can get 30% of the rake you have paid back. So in the above example you would have earned $0.9 rakeback. This may seem small but remember that this is for one hand only. Rakeback can add up to very substantial amounts and there are many players who receive over $10,000 a month in rakeback payments alone!

How Rakeback is Calculated

There are three main ways by which a poker room can calculate your rakeback – shared, contributed and dealt. PKR Poker Rakeback uses the contributed method to calculate your rakeback which is calculated by the amount you put into each pot, rather than each and every hand you play as in the dealt rakeback method.

How to Earn Rakebacks
