I bet I lost more than you did tonight!

I forgot that the rake for 6-max capped at $2, at 10-20 6-max with a $3 max cap rakeback would be better although only slightly. I think badblood may be thinking of someone with a small roll, who doesn't have the ability to move funds quickly, or he could be thinking of sites like absolute where bonuses and rakeback occur at the same time (I think). Heres an article on rakeback from ZeeJustin if you don't feel like reading it, it basically says not having rakeback is losing you money a (potential) lot of money.

Here's a thread from 2 + 2 where this has been discussed:


I reckon that means that even when you have a rackback deal, it is still more profitable to clear a bonus when possible. If you generate less rake than the bonus, you still get the bonus. If you generate more rake than the bonus, you get the bonus plus rakeback on the difference.

What sites offer rakeback?

It kind of depends on how you look at it. Certainly Pokerchamps does. I’ve, ah, ‘heard’ that various affiliates over similar deals for Empire, Ultimate Bet, and many others. I’m sure somebody will send you a PM.

"Affiliates," eh? Well well well... Isn't that interesting.

Offering rakeback is against the TOC of the affiliate agreements, but I can tell you for a fact it happens all the time. How else can you explain so many people getting rakeback?

PM me for a better explanation... especially if you are someone who plays a lot of online poker.
