Rakeback versus Online Poker Bonuses

One of the things that make online poker interesting is that you can get a part of you money back. Rakeback and poker bonuses are virtually the same as free money. A small increment of each pot is taken out by the online poker room to cover the costs of these online poker room promotions. This is called rake - a commission fee taken by the online poker room for operating the poker game. It doesn't matter what limit you play, you always pay rake and there is always a way to get some of that money back. There are two ways to get a increment of your rake back.

First, we have the poker bonuses offered by virtually all poker sites to invite new costumers. For these poker bonuses you have to make a deposit before you can complete the sign up bonus. How much money you will receive back depends on the online poker room. At some poker sites you will get back less than 25 percent of your rake while others give you more than 140 percent. Virtually all poker bonuses are around 60 - 90% of the amount a player has raked, leaving the online poker room with a small profit.

The second way to get a part of your money back is ‘rakeback’. Rakeback is a loyalty program for online poker players. With rakeback you get a percentage (usually around 25-35%) of these fees returned to you. Each month you will get the money in your poker account. How much rakeback you will get depends on how much rake you pay in that particular month. For example, if you pay $1,000 in rake and you have 30% rakeback, you will get $300 (1,000 x 0.30) of your rake back. Even at the lower limits this amount will add up quickly since you pay a higher percentage of each pot in rake than on higher limits. This means that even a low limit player pays a lot of money to the online poker room each month.

Both poker bonuses and rakeback are a excellent way to expand your poker bankroll. If you like to play at one particular online poker room it is a excellent idea to get rakeback since not all poker sites offer regular reload bonuses. If you would like to get more of your money back you should go for poker bonuses. Let's say, a standard poker player who plays $0,50/$1 No Limit Hold’em pays about $400 in rake to the online poker room in about four thousand hands. The standard rake back deal gives the poker player around 20% making you receive roughly $80 in rakeback . The standard sign up bonus, however, will get the poker player more money back. As mentioned earlier the standard poker bonus is around 75% of the rake paid. The same player would receive $300 in poker bonuses, so you can see how much better poker bonuses are in comparison to standard rakeback deals.

There are endless players out there that are clearing more than $1000 in poker bonuses each and every month. To benefit from the poker bonuses just register an account at a new online poker room. Once you have played enough withdraw your deposit and bonus and move on to another online poker room as soon as you have cleared the first deposit bonus. Keep doing this at all popular poker sitesand you will get much more than all rakeback deals offer. Once you have completed all sign up bonuses, you can go for the reload poker bonuses. You can virtually do this forever since there will always be a new poker bonus to clear.
