I had a question for anyone who has ever heard of www.rakebacks.com or uses it. It sounds legit, and very profitable. I just wanted to know if there were any gimmicks, and if this is legit. Thanks in advance.

[Gator519]

I would use www.raketracker.com , instead. I've been using them for 6-7 months and never had a problem. As far as rakebacks.com, I don't know never used them.

[wannabe]

how much do you get back per month... how much do u play... I just wanna know why someone wouldn't want to do this.

[Gator519]

If you goto that site, they have a calculator that will tell you that, Depending on the site / skin you play you get 20-25% rakeback.

[wannabe]

Does anyone else have any experience w/ getting their rakes back, do you like it, and what site do you use. Thanks again. Just seeing if I should definitely do this, or if there is a reason not to.

[Gator519]

There is no reason not to do rakeback, When you play on a pokersite you pay rake, and enver get that back unless you sign up under someone to receive it.. So it's a win win situation.

mayube im missing something here but why would they give you your rake back? :shock:

[Gator519]

It's a form of advertisement, "Affiliates" bring you to "their site" to play.. and in return offer a % of your rakeback, for bringing them to your site. So then the affiliate gives you a cut of that, and everyone is happy. On another note I just made the final table.. on a tourney at UB, I get AQ, huge chip leader on the button, i'm in sb I know he's going to raise and he does, I only got like 26k, blinds are 2k-4k I believe, so I push it all in, he calls with A3o, and rivers the straight vs me.. So dishearting :<

Yeah it's as he said. The reason you're getting rake kickback is because racktracker (or any affiliate) is getting you to sign up at whatever X poker site, and X poker site is giving the affiliate - raketracker here - a cut of the rake forever generated by you. In this case raketracker is giving you back a cut of that cut. Though raketracker is giving back a large part of their cut. Though it depends on their throughput in what percent THEY the affiliate gets.Technically you can't do this at a site you already play at. But in reality if you use some slightly different info they might not notice it's you in both accounts. OR since there are only a zillion party skins you can just do a new skin of party if you already played at partypoker. Though creating the new account is tricky if you don't have a clean (or secondary) machine. If you need help in doing this just PM me. It's only the creation of the new account at a skin that is tricky (if you already have partypoker installed with an account there).I'm just recently starting to use raketracker.com, another friend of mine sent me there. I'd tried in the past to get rake kickbacks but it never ended up working out. So I'm doing it through raketracker.com now for pokernow (a skin of partypoker). I appear to be doing anywhere from 120-200 a week playing a lot of 15/30. I will be getting my first check like on the 11th I think, err well sent to my neteller account.I started on like the 20th on Pokernow and through Feb-5th I appear to have gotten 395.29. Though first I had to clear my 100 bonus, so I've played a bit more raked hands than that.As a side cute note, they also run misc promotions, one of which this past month was a Royal Flush one. So I also got 100 bucks for hitting a royal flush in a raked hand. Had to use both cards, but I did.

I have an account on Party. I switched over to Empire and got a rake-back account.It's like a pryamid. The guy giving you the rake-back offers you a %. Then if you can sign people under you, you can offer them a lower %, netting you some small profit.Every month, that % of your total rake gets deposited back into your account.

[Suited_Up]

So if I already play on Party, can I do this on the PokerNow skin and not have any negative penalty? Don't they usually cross check info, so you can't just deposit on every site and get bonuses from each one?

[justblaze]

they do, but its pretty easy to get around. get them to close your party account. say you have a gambling problem and dont want the account anymore. you probably do anyways

LOL... Nah, I'll just let it go. If I find a deal with a site I am not on yet, then I'll try it out.

[Gator519]

Suited_up, you can have accounts on the different skins no problem. he sends you an email explaining how to do it.. If you play any amount of poker online you are foolish not to get rake back.Last month for just pokernow I got this..Site: Poker NowTotal Rake: $4197.08Rakeback: $1049.25So in other words I paid 4197.08 in rake and got 1049.25 back in cash.

Holy crap, how many hands did you play in that time? What limit?

[MrConceit]

Yeah he outperforms me. I won't usually be getting more than 750 on pokernow per month I don't think. I'm not as dedicated as he is. :(Raketracker.com has calculators based on the limit you play and hands per day. Go test it to see what you'd probably get. But you have to have some kind of roughly accurate guess how many hands you play a day.If he plays 15/30 10man he needs to be doing 550 hands per day to be getting 1062.6 a month by their calculator. That of course assumes every single day of the month, so a bit higher if he takes days off. :)As another example, if you did the same amount of hands in 3/6 (550 a day) you'd earn 607.20 a month it says.It's all estimates though of course. But estimates for higher limits are more accurate I'd assume because the rake is usually capped in most hands that don't get folded preflop in 15/30. But that's utterly a guess of mine, the more accurate thing.
