What is rakeback?
Rakeback is money that players get paid back for playing at a poker site. It is a percentage of the rake, and is usually somewhere between 20% and 50%. It is not unusual that a player pays $1000 in rake every month, and with a 30% rakeback deal, he would therefore get $300 back. Sometimes rake back is offered by the poker room but most of the times players have to sign up through an affiliate.

Why should I play with rakeback?
If you play with rakeback you get extra money every month. If you already play poker, nothing changes. You can still get bonuses and still earn money from the game, but on top of that you will get the rakeback money. Rakeback has no disadvantages. Players can only profit from a good rakeback deal.
