To understand what exactly rakeback is, I’ll need to firstly explain how poker rooms make their revenue and money in online poker. Every time you play a game of poker, whether it’s a cash game or tournament, the poker room will take a small percentage of the buy-in fee. In cash games, a poker room take 5% from the value of each pot. This is more commonly known as the “rake”, and most players don’t even notice it happening. The truth is, the amount poker rooms take from rake builds up to a staggering amount in the long run. The biggest online poker site, PokerStars, earns around $500 million in profit from the tables (not revenue, profit!).
