Rakeback Account

Every rakeback account is an opportunity to make more money playing poker. Why Rakeback is Important? The question the importance of rakeback is a common question asked by novice poker players and newcomers to online poker. First, let me explain that rakeback is probably the most important thing you can do to help your poker bankroll. Learning poker strategy and watching free poker videos are important to helping you play better poker, but you were probably already planning on doing those things to help you make more money playing poker. Simply signing up for rakeback before you start playing at a poker room will guarantee you that you will be getting paid to play online poker. Whether you win or lose on any given day you will always be earning rakeback. A player with rakeback will always earn considerably more money than a similarly skilled player who does not earn rakeback because rakeback is like free money that automatically is added to your poker account as you play.

Rakeback Example

For a rakeback example lets say there is a $50 pot during one hand of $.50/$1 No Limit Holdem. The pot actually had $53 in it but the poker room raked $3. If there were 5 players in the hand, that $3 rake is divided by the 5 players --> $3/5 = $0.60 each. So each player basically contributed $.60 of rake to the online poker room. Each player that has a rakeback deal in place will receive a percentage of that $.60 refunded to him or her as rakeback. The players without rakeback will receive nothing back to them. If you have 30% rakeback you would get $.60 x .3 = $.18 refunded to you automatically at the end of the week. That $.18 is just one hand, so as you might be able to imagine that money adds up fast as you play more and more hands. It is not uncommon for players to receive hundreds or even thousands of rakeback money each week. If you contribute $1,000 in rake in a week and you get 33% rakeback then you would earn $333.33 in rakeback for that week.

With rakeback the player benefits as the extra automatic rakeback payments add a considerable amount of funds to a player's account.

Do I Need Rakeback?

Yes you need rakeback.

All players should sign up for rakeback as it is the single most important thing you can do to improve your poker profitability. Rakeback combined with the awesome bonuses the online poker rooms give to new players makes sense for just about every poker player.

Sign Up for Rakeback --> Play Poker --> Earn Rakeback --> Money Put into Account --> Play More Poker --> Earn More Rakeback --> Money Put into Account...

Any online poker game you play at low stakes and high stakes the pot is raked. For each pot that is raked you are earning a percentage of that rake. That percentage adds up meaning a lot of extra money is going to be automatically placed in your poker account each week.

Rakeback is a Win - Win Situation

Rakeback is a win - win situation for both you and the poker room. At first it appears the poker room loses a little bit of its profit by giving you rakeback. However, by giving you rakeback it is more likely you will become a loyal customer and continue playing at that poker room. The more you play the happier the poker room becomes because now they earn more. Both you and the poker room benefit from rakeback.
