Poker Rakeback Offers
If you play poker online you should definitely profit by the poker site promotions. A small part of each pot is taken out by the poker site to cover the costs of these poker site promotions. This is called ’rake’ - a commission fee taken by the poker site for operating a poker game. It doesn't matter what limityou play, you always pay rake and you can always get a part of that money back. There are two methods to get a part of your rake back.
First, we have the poker sign-up bonuses provided by almost all poker sites to invite new poker players. For these poker sign-up bonuses you have to make a deposit before you can obtain the sign up bonus. How much cash you will receive back depends on the poker site. At some poker sites you will get back less than 30 percent of your rake while others give you more than 140 percent. Virtually all poker sign-up bonuses are around 75 - 100% of the amount a player has paid in rake, which leaves the poker site with a small profit.
You can also get a part of your money back through rakeback. Depending on the poker site you can normally get between 25 and 30 percent, sometimes even more. Each month you will receive the money in your poker account. How much rakeback you will receive depends on how much rake you pay in that particular month. For example, if you’ve paid $500 in rake and you have 35% rakeback, you will get $500 x 0.35 = $175 of your rake back. Even at the lower limits the amount of rake paid will add up rapidly since you pay relativily more in rake than on higher limits. This means that even low limit players pay a lot of rake to the poker site each month.
Playing with rakeback or poker sign-up bonuses is the easiest way to expand your poker bankroll. If you like to play at one particular poker site it is a great idea to get a good rakeback deal since not all poker sites offer reload bonuses. However, you should always pick the poker bonus first instead of the rakeback offer. Let's say, a standard player who plays $1/$2 No Limit Hold’em pays about $400 in rake in 4k hands. The standard rake back deal gives the player around 20% making you receive roughly $80 in rakeback . The standard sign up bonus, however, will get the player more back. As mentioned earlier the standard poker bonus is around 75% of the rake paid. The same player would receive $300 in poker sign-up bonuses, so you can see how much better poker sign-up bonuses are than standard rakeback deals.
It is clear that every player should take advantage of one of these two ways to get a increment the rake paid back . To take advantage of the poker sign-up bonuses just register an account at a new poker site. Once you have played enough withdraw your bonus and winnings and move on to another poker site as soon as you have cleared the first deposit bonus. Keep doing this at all popular poker sitesand you will receive a lot more rake back than all rakeback deals offer. Once you have completed all poker sign-up bonuses, you can go for the reload poker bonuses. You can virtually do this forever since there will always be a new poker bonus to clear.
