Hey everyone
I've been playing online for about 3 years now and finally decided to look into this "rakeback" business. Despite reading the websites, none of them really say how they are able to just give players some of their money back. Can someone elaborate on how this thing works, if it's legitimate, etc? Thanks for the advice

pm suitedup

have a look at my sig, simple as that:D

most sites offer between 25 and 35% of the rake they take back to the players, it is typically deposited directly into your poker account at a pre specified time during the month

Hmmm....
One more reason for me to switch from Stars to Full Tilt or Party...Stars has no rakeback and you can't data-mine observed hands.

Party doesn't have rakeback either

Party doesn't have rakeback and having a site allow datamining is not a good thing. It's a very bad thing.

That's actually why I haven't switched to Party...my girlfriend won't let me. She thinks collecting info when you're not actually playing is cheating. Now that I think of it, maybe it is cheating...

hope I didn't alienate anyone!

Grow a pair?

I play at Full Tilt and get my rakeback from rakeupdate.com. It deposits the money directly into my FTP account and I've never had a problem. Plus, you can check your rakeback account any time you want and get the money any time you want. I usually 4-table $200 NL and I get over $100/week just in rakeback. PM me if you want to use this so I can get a referral.
