When you play poker in a house game they are taking rake out of the pot. Rake is a percentage of the pot as it is played out. On average rake is 5% up to a $3 max. As an affiliate with online poker sites we are given a percentage of this rake. This is where rakeback comes into the game.  

When online poker grew so fast, many webmasters were making lots of money just signing up players. Once more and more came into the game, a new concept was established,"Rakeback". Rakeback is a large percentage of the players rake that the affiliate gives back to the player to sign up thru them.  

So many players still do not know about rakeback. They are leaving behind serious amounts of rake on the poker tables. This money is only retrieved thru a rakeback affiliate. There is not a negative aspect to rakeback. Simply two ways only to sign up at a poker site. Directly thru the site where the site keeps 100% of your rake or thru a rakeback affiliate where they site makes far less, you make a nice percentage, and the rakeback affiliate keeps a very small percentage for themselves. They are able to do this as they sign up a lot of players for online rakeback. Use our rakeback calculator to see how much rakeback you are leaving behind.
