You might have noticed that a small percentage of your pot/tournament entry fee is taken by the casino whenever you play cash game poker or register for a tournament. This is called the “rake” and there’s no running away from this. With rakeback promotions, however, you can get back a portion of the paid rake as you play.
As the name suggests, this is a type of promotion that will periodically return some of your rake. The concept is easy; the more you play, the more you’re rewarded. Even if you only play periodically, you’ll still often get a little something back in your player account at the end of each week/month.
