Introduction to Online Poker Rakeback

Any experienced online poker player is likely to tell you that online poker rakeback is essential to any strategy-based poker game. As novice players hear about online poker rakeback, they inevitably go seeking a rakeback deal. But some players don’t even know what it is they are searching/signing-up for.

In this introduction to online poker rakeback, we’ll remove all confusion about this undeniably profitable poker strategy. Online poker rakeback is not a strategy in itself, but think a moment – what is the goal of any poker strategy? To minimize losses and maximize profits, correct? That is precisely what online poker rakeback does.

Where Does Rakeback Come From

In order to understand how rakeback works, you must first understand its origins – the online poker rake. If you already know all about poker rake, skip to the next section.

The poker rake is that small commission taken by the online poker room to fund its operation, play admin fees, etc. The industry standard rake is 5% up to $3 at most stakes, as high as $5 in the biggest games.

So when you are playing online poker, the pot grows to $60 and you win, you only receive $57. Where did that other $3 go? It went to the poker rake. Remember, 5% of $60 is $3. This is where your rakeback comes from.

Rakeback Explained

Instead of that $3 rake being completely lost, you could be getting a portion of that right back into your poker account. Do we really need that rakeback money? Let’s way the options…

  1. Get no rakeback, earn no extra profits.
  2. Get rakeback, make more money than from poker alone.

Rakeback is like a discount coupon that lets you retain some of that money you would have been paying into the rake. There’s nothing to lose, and everything to gain. And for serious grinders, the amount of rakeback you earn can add up very quickly, equaling hundreds of dollars each and every month.
