Online Poker | Rakback and Rake

Traditional (or "brick and mortar", B&M, live) venues for playing poker, such as casinos and poker rooms, may be intimidating for novice players and are often located in geographically disparate locations. Also, brick and mortar casinos are reluctant to promote poker because it is difficult for them to profit from it. Though the rake, or time charge, of traditional casinos is often high, the opportunity costs of running a poker room are even higher. Brick and mortar casinos often make much more money by removing poker rooms and adding more slot machines

Rake and Rakeback

Typically, online poker rooms generate revenue via "the rake method". Rake is collected from most real money ring game pots. The rake is normally calculated as a percentage of the pot based on a sliding scale and capped at some maximum fee. Each online poker room determines its own rake structure. Rakeback on the other hand, is a percentage of "the rake" that is paid back to you by the poker rooms. Usually this percentage starts around 27% to 33%. This increases proportionally.Play online - the more you rake, the more you Rakeback.

Rakeback Bonuses

Many online poker sites offer incentives to players in the form of bonus. Usually the bonus is given after a certain number of raked hands are played. For example, a site may offer a player who deposits $100 a bonus of $50 once he plays 500 raked hands. A poker player who can at least break even can become a long-term winner by playing with poker bonuses. A winning poker player can add to their winnings with the use of bonuses. In addition, several online card rooms employ VIP Managers to develop VIP programs to reward regular players and additional bonuses exist for players who wish to top-up their accounts. These are known as reload bonuses.
