Why Choose Rakeback

Whenever you sign up for a poker site and play with real money, the poker room takes a fee which is typically a fixed rate starting at 3% up to 5%. This fee is called the “rake”.

Poker rakeback allows you to receive upwards of 33% of your rake back each month and in some cases depending on which poker site you choose to play on, this could be paid to you on a daily basis. For a player who plays often, the rake they contribute can amount to thousands of dollars each month and that money can go back to your bankroll for you to use.

Why Extra Rakeback?

As we just mentioned, the majority of the poker rooms pay rakeback on a monthly bases however there are a few which pay player accounts daily. All of the deals we provide on ExtraRakeback are paid automatically by the poker room to your account, so there is no need to worry about how you will get paid. Each room provides a different date on which your account will be credit and we have listed these on our rakeback review pages. Normally this is within 5 – 20 days after the calendar month has finished. How is rakeback calculated and what is is the difference between contributed rake and shared rake?

Depending on which room you choose to go with they may calculate their rake different from the other. There are two forms of calculating rakeback – Contributed and Shared rake. Contributed rake is where you will receive the fixed rate of the amount you actually contribute to the rake collected. Shared rake is when the room takes the total amount of rake collected and divides it among each of the players who were dealt in the hand, regardless if they went to the showdown or not, each player receives equal amount of rake. As a side note, most poker rooms also provide rakeback based on tournament fees paid.
