Why Rakeback

Online Poker Rakeback can be easily compared to making a sizeable purchase at the department store with a 30% off coupon. Would you give the clerk the coupon and save 30% on your order, or would you just throw away the coupon and pay the full amount?

Of course not, and that is exactly why you need an online poker rakeback.

See, when you play cash games at an online poker room, the site collects a "rake" from each pot. You, as a contributor to that pot, are a contributor to the rake as well. A Rakeback deal pays players back, on average, 30% of the money they contribute to the rake. This is known as a Contributed Rakeback deal.

There are also Shared Rakeback and Dealt Rakeback offers. Shared Rakeback takes the Rakeback from an even portion of the total rake, divided by the number of participating players. Dealt Rakeback is the same, except that players do not need to participate (contribute chips) to earn online poker Rakeback.

There's also a newer option known as Tournament Rakeback, which comes with some online poker Rakeback deals. Instead of just earning Rakeback for raked ring games, players can earn a percentage of all paid tournament fees back in their Rakeback account as well.

It should be pretty obvious at this point why you need online poker Rakeback. The fact is there is absolutely no disadvantage to earning Rakeback. There is, however, a disadvantage to not earning Rakeback. You are essentially throwing away that precious coupon that would have awarded a portion of the money you were going to spend anyway right back into your bankroll.

The question isn't really "Why do I need online poker Rakeback?" but rather "Which online poker Rakeback offer do I need?"

While a Rakeback deal is beneficial to every real-money online poker player, there is a distinct difference between each type of online poker Rakeback offer can easily make one more profitable to a specific player type than another.

For example, Contributed Rakeback is considered best for Loose/Aggressive poker players, and Shared Rakeback is often more beneficial to Loose/Passive online poker players. Dealt Rakeback, on the other hand, is most profitable for tight poker player, whether they be Loose or Aggressive.
