Rakeback Questions and Answers
What is rakeback?
So you ask what is rakeback? Rakeback is also known as Rake Rebate, Rake Return etc. Simply speaking, rakeback means that you will receive a percentage of the rake you pay to the poker operator back to yourself. All players leave behind serious amounts of rake every single month, anywhere from hundreds of dollars by a small player to many thousands of dollars by big players. The only player not getting their rakeback is usually a player that has not heard about it because of the obvious. The obvious being that there is zero cost in getting your rakeback. To sum it up as simple as we can, you can sign up to a online poker site 2 ways. One way is direct and in this case the site keeps 100% of your rake. The second way is thru a rakeback site. This way the poker site pays the rakeback site a percentage of your rake for life. The rakeback site then pays you a very large portion of this rake. The rakeback site can do this as they have many players. So why not get started today? Signing up is fast and free, get your rakeback now!
What is rake?
Rake is the cut that the house/gaming operator takes out of every pot played for real money. Normally there is a cap of $3 per pot. If there are ten players at the table when the hand is dealt and the rake is $3, this means that your part of the rake in this pot is $0.30. That is the most common way but there are others. You also receive your percentage back for any tournament (single table thru multi table) you play. To get an idea of how much you are losing in rake every month, check out our rakeback calculator.
What is Cashout Anytime?
Some poker sites now automatically pay the rake themselves, but some only pay us the rake once a month. In these situations we allow you to cash out any time. This means that you can login to our members area and cash out your rakeback as you play. You do not have to wait to be paid at the end of the month as with some of the affiliates that do not offer this service.
What is a rake race?
Rake races are a way for an rakeback affiliate to offer its players even more rewards. We offer a step above that in the form of our rake race gaurantee. If a ubRake member finds a higher pay out for their current position on any of our rake races, we will match it! This means you never have to miss out on any offers run by other sites. If you can find it, we will pay. We also offer this on many sites that we are not carrying a rake race for currently.
How do I get paid?
We offer a members area where you will be able to login and see how much rake you have earned every day. If you send us any friends you will also be able to see how much you have made from them daily. Also you may cash this rake out at anytime. That is right, the site pays us ten days after the month but no need to wait on that. We offer exclusive cash out features to our players anytime they want. With some sites the transactions will be automated, but most of the transactions will be between us and you.
Why should I signup?
If you play poker online you are contributing rake to the house. The house pays us a percentage of this rake and we in return pay you. We pay you as much as 98% of what the house pays us. We operate on such a small percentage by serving such a large group of players. We offer the top deals at most of the popular sites.
I already have a poker account, can I still get rakeback?
Unfortunately the poker sites do not allow this, the only options are simply to try a new site that can get rakeback. Many poker sites have several skins on the same network. By signing up at a skin you will actually be at the same tables and can then qualify for rakeback.
What is a skin?
A skin is a poker site that is on a network with other poker sites. A prime example of this would be on the Cake Poker Network. Cake Poker is a poker site but is also the base of an entire network of sites. Doyles Room is one of the larger skins on the Cake Poker Network but there are many more. If you need to know about a particluar skin please email our helpful staff.
