Rakeback is an old phenomenon that in the beginning was meant to be for the most loyal players on the playing room. But it has in recent time become more common.

Rakeback means like the word imply that a part of the rake that going to the poker room are returning to the player. In figures can it be around 25 to 50%, but the offers can shift even more. How can it be that the poker rooms giving the player this generous offer? The first part of the answer is that the competition among the poker sites are heavy and every poker room wants as many player as possible registered. Rakeback can be seen as a track in this race.

Is there no catch in this? is your next question. When it comes to rakeback online is the whole thing constructed like this: there is often a partner to the poker room that you shall seek up to get your rakeback. That means for example that you not can get a rakeback in that poker room you all ready are registered in. You must register on a rakeback partner before you start an account. As you maybe understand by now, this is how the rakeback partner gets its own money. Theirs function is to deliver you to a poker room. 

The big drawback is however that the eventual bonus that is given by the poker room to you as a player will be reduced. I don’t want to say that rakeback is a bad thing. But you should look up what you will win in returning rake and what you eventually lose in bonus and after that decide if you will try the rakeback or not.
