Choosing The Best Rakeback Deal

Choosing the best rakeback deal will ensure maximum profits so it pays to take some time and work out exactly which type of rakeback offer is the best for you. There are three types of online poker rakeback and the type of player you are will affect how profitable each rakeback type is.

Contributed Rakeback This is one of the most common online poker rakeback types. Contributed Rakeback pays players according to how much they contributed to the pot. Essentially, the more you contribute, the more you earn in Contributed Rakeback.

Contributed Rakeback requires two things. First, the hand must go on to see at least a flop as this is necessary for a hand to be raked. Second, the player must contribute at least one chip to the pot.

Who Needs Contributed Rakeback? Because of the way Contributed Rakeback is paid, it is most advantageous to loose/aggressive poker players. A loose player sees most flops, ensuring he is contributing to the pot and therefore eligible to receive rakeback on the hand. An aggressive bettor often contributes a large portion of the pot, making his contributed rake higher, and thus a higher rakeback return.

Dealt Rakeback Dealt Rakeback has an incredible advantage for certain online poker players. As the name implies, Dealt Rakeback is paid to players just for being dealt into a raked poker hand. No contribution to the pot is required. So long as it goes to a flop and the hand is raked, the player will receive Dealt Rakeback. The amount paid is based on an average amount, except that the total rake is divided by all players dealt in the hand, not just contributors.

Who Needs Dealt Rakeback? Dealt Rakeback is the best solution for tight poker players. These are the players who fold around 80-90% of hands. No other program will keep the rakeback profits in on a steady basis for a tight player. The actual rakeback earned may be slightly lower than other rakeback types.

Shared Rakeback Shared Rakeback is paid based on the average contributed rake. This means the player must contribute to the pot, and it must be raked, but the amount contributed does not effect the rakeback received. To get the average contributed rake, the total rake is divided by the number of players paying into the pot. The result is the average, or median, rake.

Who Needs Shared Rakeback? Shared Rakeback is best for loose/passive players. Again, loose players participate in most hands, but a passive bettor is much more conservative with their chips, only betting the required minimum to see the flop before they decide how to play out the hand. For a loose/passive player who tends to contribute less than the average rake amount.

Tournament Rakeback All rakeback deals include tournament fees when calculating the rakeback you are owed, players are awarded a percentage of their paid tournament fees back. For instance, if earning 30% Tournament Rakeback, and entering a $50+$5 tournament, you would get back 30% of the $5 fee ($1.50).

Who Needs Tournament Rakeback? Any online poker player who enters paid tournaments needs tournament rakeback. Many rakeback players are full-time Sit N Go tournament players, when playing multiple tournaments of this type it pays to get the highest rakeback percentage you can find as it does not depend on your playing style like the previous rakeback types do.
