30/03/2009 In Rakeback Advice

Do you know who your best friend in poker is? Well actually it is not your Uncle Randy, it is rakeback. Now let me tell you why rakeback is your best friend in poker.

Rakeback Is Rich

Okay, so almost every Christmas your good old Uncle Randy finds a shiny silver dollar behind your ear — just as you are opening the yard-sale sweater he had helped your Aunt Eunice find for you. Rakeback is not a cheapskate, but it does “re-gift” you money every time that you play poker.

Rakeback Is Consistent

You are understanding when some years later your good old slightly senile Uncle Randy sneezes a roll of pennies in place of that silver dollar. Rakeback never comes up short. Every dime that you hand over in rake is calculated, and the money you collect in rakeback is refunded to your account every month.

Rakeback Is Always Ready to Play

Sometimes Uncle Randy has to join Aunt Eunice when she combs local yard sales for hidden treasures and canned food, leaving you one player short of a poker game. Rakeback is always an available bonus option, and all you have to do is play for rakeback to pay.

Rakeback Can Aid in Your Victory

Most players measure their success in terms of their win rate. If you are playing without rakeback, the rake is already present in your current figures, but you are neglecting the potential for a 30 percent jump in your win rate. If you are already a winning player, rakeback can significantly increase your bankroll. If you are on the fringe of playing in the red, rakeback can provide the bankroll buffer that keeps you going. In the course of a month, if you are paying $100 in rake, you could receive $25 or $30 back at the end of the month simply by playing on a poker site that offers rakeback.

Just remember that there are restrictions on having multiple accounts with the same poker site. An attempt to open a second account with your present poker site will result in you being kicked off the site and potentially suffering further penalties. In order to start getting a 30 percent return on your rake dues, all that you have to do is switch to a new online poker site that provides a rakeback incentive.
