Poker Rakeback FAQ
If you are new to our site or have any questions about poker rakeback it is highly suggested that you read our short FAQ!
What is rake?
The 'rake' is the amount the poker room removes from each pot, as a fee, for hosting/offering the poker game. The amount taken from each pot varies by limits, but is generally anywhere from $1-$3 on average per hand.
What is poker rakeback?
When you sign up with a poker room through Best Rakeback, you will receive a refund for every $1.00 that you pay in rake. This refund is known as poker rakeback. No matter what limits you play, whether you are a professional or just play poker for fun, receiving poker rakeback will greatly increase your win-rate, and allow you to make more money.
What is "Total Rake" or "Net Revenue"?
Each poker room may have a different term for "Total Rake" or "Net Revenue", but it is essentially the total rake paid by you as calculated by the poker room. When Best Rakeback pays your poker rakeback, it is always a percentage of your Net Revenue.
What is a Poker Rakeback Provider?
A poker rakeback provider is a company that advertises for a poker room or a group of poker rooms. Poker Rakeback providers are paid a percentage of Total Rake for each one of their players. Best Rakeback then gives this payment from the poker room, in the form of poker rakeback, back to you, the poker player.

How often are my Poker Rakeback stats updated on Best Rakeback?
Almost all of your poker rakeback stats are updated daily. If a site does not update daily there will be a note of this. There can sometimes be delays with the poker rakeback stats updating, but these delays are usually out of our control and are usually not more than a couple of days.
Can I Still Get Bonuses at a Poker Room if I Receive Poker Rakeback?
Yes! You will still be able to receive bonuses offered by the poker room and any other promotions offered by the poker room or Best Rakeback if you receive poker rakeback from Best Rakeback. Bonuses are deducted from your Total Rake, but it is much better to receive both bonuses and poker rakeback than either by themselves.
When are poker rakeback Payments Made to Me?
The payments are made once a month, generally during the second week, for the previous month's poker rakeback that is currently due to you. For example, if you have accumulated $400 in poker rakeback in December, this will be paid to you in January. Though we strive to make the poker rakeback payments to you by the 15th of each month, certain poker rooms automatically make the poker rakeback payment to your poker account. There are times when the poker rakeback payment will be made even later than the 15th due to their poker poker rakeback payment schedule.
Note: You must have a poker rakeback balance of $20 or more from the previous month in order to receive your poker rakeback payment. If you are owed less than that, it will be carried over to the following month and will paid once your total has reached $20.
