Rakeback Basics
What is Rakeback?
Every online poker room charges a rake (fee) for every real money hand you play, and for tournaments as well. This amount is generally 5% - 10% of the pot size, so as you can imagine the numbers add up quickly. As the poker world became more competitive, rakeback was introduced by some poker rooms as an incentive to recruit new players and/or retain existing players.
Why should I get Rakeback?
RakeMeBack can be the difference between being a winning and losing player. There are many players who play high-volume break even play, who earn tremendous sums strictly through their rakeback. Anyone who doesn't have rakeback, on rooms that allow it, is giving away free money.
How much rakeback can I get?
The amount of rakeback that you can make depends on multiple factors. The two key factors are the rakeback percent and the gross amount of rake you generate. For our sample chart, we use this simple equation used to estimate rake: 5% * Average pot size * Raked hands / Players = Rake
| Hands * | Players | Blinds | Rake | % | Rakeback |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1000 | 6 | $2-4 | $333 | 30% | $100 |
| 1000 | 10 | $1-2 | $150 | 30% | $45 |
| 1000 | 6 | 25c/50c | $83 | 30% | $25 |
| 1000 | 6 | $2-4 | $333 | 30% | $100 |

| 1000 | 6 | 25c/50c | $83 | 30% | $25 |
