What is rake?
Rake is the cut that the house/gaming operator take out of every pot played for real money. Normally there is a cap of $ 3 per pot and up to $5 per pot at high stakes. If you 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. Please use our RakeBack Calculator to calculate how much you will be receiving in rakeback based on your play.
What is Rakeback?
Rakeback is also known as rake return. Simply speaking, rake back means that you will receive a percentage of the rake you pay to the poker operator back to yourself. All players leaves behind serious amounts of rake every single month, so no matter if you're a low stakes player or a highroller a rakeback deal will only do your wallet good.

How can you offer this?
Poker sites pay us to promote them. We bring them players and in return they give us a percentage of the rake our referred players generate for them. As a part of the negotiations with the poker operators we agree on a percentage of the gross rake that will go to us. We take this percentage and give back most of it to the player, keeping a small portion as profit. The actual deals that you get are achieved through the large volume you bring us collectively. By uniting poker players we increase the poker operators traffic, and for this we get to offer favorable rake deals.

What exactly is a skin?
Basically a skin offers the same games and features as the site licensing it. An example: Eurobet is a skin of PokerRoom.com, for the player there is not really much of a difference. The interface may look different and there might be individual promotions. When it comes to the core poker operation the differences are few. At the skin site you will find the exact same players, the same games and tables.
Will I receive rakeback on tournament fees also?
On most sites you will receive rakeback on the tournament fees as well as the rake you pay on cash-tables.
What is an Automatic Rakeback plan?
With an automatic rakeback deal it means that you will receive the payment (rakeback) directly from the pokersite itself. Not us as a 3rd party. These kind of deals are very new and there are only a few sites offering them like CakePoker.

What is Rake Tracking?
By the term "Rake Tracking" we refer to daily updates of the rake you've generated on the poker site you're playing at using our service. Our system updates once a day with detailed information about the rake you've paid. You will receive access to this system when you've signed up on one of our deals.
When are stats updated?
Stats are updated daily by 9am EST. If the stats have not updated it is likely to be caused by a delay in the poker site reporting the stats to us. Our team works very hard to bring you up to date information as quickly as possible.
How will I get paid?
You can cashout your rakeback when ever your want; please refer to our cashout instructions
Why do my stats not match the figures I see in PT or HEM?
There are several reasons why this can occur:
- PT and HEM were not built to calculate how much rake you have paid. The figures shown are only an estimation.
- The method used to calculate rake differ from network to network whereas PT and HEM only use 1 method, so depending on what site you play on , they will be even less accurate
- Sites deduct any bonuses you clear as well as transaction fee’s before calculating your MGR which you are paid rakeback on. PT and HEM do not take these deductions into consideration.
- The stats feeds are not in real time. Hands you play today will of course show up in your databases however they may not be reported to you by us for up to 48 hours.

Can I still get the bonus offered when getting rakeback?
Yes, where bonuses are offered you will also get them through us. However, bonuses are deducted from your monthly gross rake. This means that if you rake for $1000 during a month and receives a $200 bonus - your new monthly gross rake becomes $800 which is the amount you will receive XX% of $800.
