What is Rakeback?
There are few certainties in poker and even fewer guarantees; the following is one of them. You will make money if you sign up for rakeback! In short, signing up through a rakeback site enables you to be paid back a percentage of the rake that you pay each hand. Rakeback sites can do this because of the earnings they generate from attracting players to the poker sites which they are affiliated with.
Here is how it works; say you're playing at a table with 6 players and the last hand there was $3 rake taken from the pot. Now since there was $3 rake taken and there were 6 players at the table, your rake contribution to the pot was $0.50 ($3/6 players). With Rakeback, you get a percentage of that back, usually between 30% and 60%. So you would have made $0.20 ($0.50*0.4 @40%) just for being dealt cards. If you play multiple tables at a time it can add up to thousands of dollars a month.
How can you get Rakeback?
It is very simple. The only thing you have to do to get rakeback is sign up to your favorite poker room(as you normally do) except through a rakeback site, most of which are completely free .Even if you only play a few hours a week at small stakes, it still adds up. We strongly recommend the site RakeTheRake , because they are largest and most trusted rakeback provider (We've heard of other sites making late payments or sometimes not making payments at all.
