Poker sites generates revenue by taking a small percentage out of each pot.
The amount taken out is determined by the size of the pot, the stakes and the game type (FL, PL & NL).
We have worked out a special deal with PKR that allows us to offer you part of the rake you contribute back to you.
When you sign up for a PKR rakeback deal through Poker Rakeback Online you will receive 30% rakeback.
This is the highest percentage of rakeback you can receive from PKR.
Your PKR rakeback payments will be handled directly by PKR.
You will receive your rakeback payment on or before the 10th of the month for the previous month.
For instance if you earned $200 in rakeback for January PKR will automatically credit you player account with $200 no later than the 10th of Febuary.

Most players that are new to receiving Poker Rakeback Online and have trouble figuring out how much money a 30% rakebackoffer will actually add up to.
Below I have calculated the amount of rakeback that will be earned for two different types of players.
Use this as a rough guide when considering how much rakeback you will receive.
These numbers are general averages though because there are a few different variables when determining rakeback such as your average hands played per hour.

$1/2 NL Texas Holdem Full Ring Table – If you play for an average of 60 hours per month at these stakes and at just 1 table at a time your estimated rakeback payment will be $126.
If you typically play at short handed tables (6 or less players) the amount of rakeback earned will increase to $432.
This increase can be explained by the higher average hands/hour you will play at a short handed table.

$1/2 FL Texas Holdem Full Ring Table – If you play for an average of 60 hours per month at these stakes and at just 1 table at a time your estimated Poker Rakeback Online payment will be $54.
If you typically play at short handed tables (6 or less players) the amount of rakeback earned will increase to $180.
The numbers are considerably less than what a no limit player will receive while playing at the same stakes.
It is important to mention though that $1/2 NL Texas Holdem is comparable to $5/10 FL Holdem when looking at the average pot size.

If you play at multiple tables simultaneously you can double the numbers listed above. Although PKR takes less rake out of short handed tables the increase in hands/hour will usually double if not triple the amount of rakeback you will receive compared to a full ring table.
When you play in regular tournaments and sit and go tournaments at PKR you will also receive a part of the buyin fee for each in your Poker Rakeback Online payment.

The 2009 World Series of Poker (WSOP), the biggest marquee event of the year is officially in full swing at Las Vegas’ Rio Hotel and Casino.
