What is rake?
Online poker rooms earn their money by “taxing” the players. They tax players by taking a commission out of every pot or through tournaments fees. This commission from the poker room is called rake. In cash games, poker rooms collect 5% out of every pot up to a maximum of 3$/pot. For example, let’s say the pot is 50$, the poker room will collect 5% x 50$ = 2.5$ and the winner of the pot will receive 47.5$.

What is rakeback?
Rakeback is a portion of the rake paid by a player that is redistributed to that same player. For example, if a player rakes 500$ in a month and has a 33% rakeback deal, he will get 33% x 500$ = 165$. Rakeback is a partial refund of the rake an online poker player pays to their poker room. Rakeback is only offered through affiliates such as Rakeback Quebec and cannot be obtained directly through the poker rooms.

How is rakeback calculated?
Depending on the poker room, the rakeback is either calculated as a dealt or a contributed rakeback.

What is dealt rakeback?
Dealt rakeback is a rake calculation system that includes every player whom got dealt cards. For example, let’s say there are 5 players on a table and 2 players are involved in a 50$ pot, the rake will be 2.5$. This system will consider that each player paid a portion of the rake collected as if everyone paid 2.5$/5 = 0.5$. If a player has a 33% rakeback deal, he will get 0.5$ x 0.33 = 0.165$ in rakeback. In sum, the system is better for tight players since they get a lot of rakeback out of the loose player’s pot while they personally pay less rake.

What is contributed rakeback?
Contributed rakeback is a rake calculation system that requires you to be involded in the pot in order to get rakeback. For example, let’s say there are 5 players on a table and 2 players are involved in a 50$ pot, the system will consider that only the two players involved paid the rake which would then be 2.5$/2 = 1.25$. If one of the player has a 33% rakeback deal, he will get 1.25$ x 0.33 = 0.413$. In sum, the system is better for loose players because they get rakeback for what they really pay.
