Get Rakeback

To get rakeback understand that every hand you play during cash games the pot is raked. Raked means a small percentage of the pot is being removed which goes to the online poker room. If you want to see how much is being raked in a given pot usually next to the dealer there is a place where the rake is collected during the hand and is taken at the end of the hand by the poker room. The amount of rake changes during the hand as the pot gets bigger and is eventually capped at a couple of dollars.

The rake by the dealer shows the entire rake taken from the pot during the course of the hand but does not show the amount of rake that was contributed by each player at the table. The amount of rake contributed by each player is calculated by the poker room’s software and the results are stored in the poker room’s database. This data determines the total amount of rake you have contributed over a period of time and is the prime statistic that is used to get rakeback.
