Poker has once again become a hugely popular game with tournaments held in clubs and pubs almost every night of the week. When it comes to online gambling, poker is available 24/7 with individual table games and tournaments constantly in play. As a game, poker is easy to learn and easy to play. You can win big and you can lose big as well. Enter the poker rakeback.

What is the poker rakeback? When playing at a poker table the house will take a percentage (around 5%) of the winnings as their cut or rake. Referring sites receive a percentage of this as a referral fee. The rakeback then is the referring site returning to you a portion of the rake you have lost at the tables.

How do you claim a poker rakeback? Rakeback’s are generally offered by referring sites. For example, if you sign up for the first time to Betfair’s poker rooms through UK Betting Central’s rakeback link, you could receive a rakeback of between 30-40%. (add to that a 100% signup bonus and you’re well ahead before you even start).

When do you receive your rakeback funds? Rakeback returns are accumulated on a monthly basis and paid out according to the rules of the rakeback site you sign up to.

Rakeback’s are one way of getting a little back from the house each month. They can certainly amount to a thousand pounds or more each year, money that is better off in your bank account than theirs.

If you’re a regular poker player and you win on a regular basis, consider signing up to a rakeback program and get an even bigger return.
