Rakeback
Rakeback is a rebate of part of the rake that a player has paid to an online poker site. It is often given by affiliates or through loyalty programs, and it reduces the cost of playing.
The simple explanation
If you pay $100 in rake and the deal gives 30 percent rakeback, you get $30 back. For regular players, this can be a significant addition to their winnings.
A closer look
Rakeback deals differ: some give a fixed percentage, others depend on the volume or the status level. Affiliates usually share a part of the commission they earn from the site with the player. Over time, rakeback can turn a break-even player into a small winner. In the past, some sites gave very generous rakeback, but many have changed their programs. Read the conditions of the deal and see how the points are calculated.
A practical example
A player pays $1,000 in rake in a month with a 27 percent rakeback deal and receives $270.
