Rakeback isn't too hard of a concept to understand. You may or may not be aware that poker rooms (both live and online) take a small percentage (three to five percent) of the pots to keep for the 'house'. This is how poker rooms make their money, and why they can continue to run. The amount the poker rooms rake from the pot isn't enough to be worried about, they take rake in moderation.
Rakeback is a lesser known concept in online poker where the online poker room gives a percentage of the rake back to the players account. It is not hard to figure out how they came up with the name rakeback, the poker room gives rake back to players. This rakeback amount could be any percentage from one to one hundred if the poker room wanted to, but you will most commonly find the rakeback percentage anywhere between 15 and 30 percent. The Carbon Poker rakeback is a very nice 30% for players who use the rakeback coupon code RB30 after downloading Carbon through the rakeback links found on the homepage. For a rakeback example, if you were to contribute $1000 of rake to the poker room that is offering 30% rakeback, you would receive $300 worth of rakeback.
There are different ways that poker rakeback is given to players, and some of them can be rather confusing. That is why we recommend Carbon Poker rakeback. At Carbon Poker your rakeback that you have earned from playing at the real money tables will paid automatically by the poker room into your account balance every single day. Some poker rooms have rakeback providers pay out rakeback, and some only give the rakeback to players once a month. Every poker room has a different way to give rakeback to players, but I am guessing they will all come around and end up giving out rakeback daily like Carbon Poker does. |
