Let's Talk About Poker Rakeback

Let’s talk about poker rakeback.

A card room, like GamedayPoker.com, does not wager against its players; as such, a fee is administered to maintain the site and facilitate the games. When playing poker, rake is the commission fee taken from the card room operating the poker game. Typically the amount is 5 to 10 percent of the pot in each poker hand. In some situations a card room will not take a percentage of rake when a hand does not have a flop; which is referred to as no flop.

To entice poker players to a site, many cardrooms offer rakeback to its players as an incentive to continue playing. As the name implies, rakeback refers to a percentage of rake returned to a player for playing in cash games or tournaments. If playing high stakes poker, it is possible for a poker player to earn thousands of dollars back in rakeback over a short period of time.

While not all online poker rooms support or promote rakeback, GamedayPoker.com offers rakeback to all players that register through a poker affiliate.
