RAKEBACK - FAQ
QUESTION
Will bonuses affect my Rakeback?
Some rooms deduct bonuses from your rake (before the rakeback is calculated). Some do not. You will need to check the summary table on any of our poker room pages to see who deducts and who does not.
NB
It is always better to get
rakeback + bonus, rather than just rakeback….even if the bonus is deducted from your rake.
Here's a quick
example of why.
Let's say you sign up and rake $1,000 in your first month.
Let's also assume you
get a $300 bonus
Your net rake is $700
Let's assume for ease you are on 30% rakeback
You will get
$210 (30% of $700) back
Plus you got the $300 bonus
Total comp is $510 (effectively 51% rakeback on your
$1000)
Now let's assume you play the same amount without a bonus.
Bonus = 0
Net rake =
$1000
Rakeback at 30% = $300
Total Comp = $300
Effective 30% rakeback on your
$1000
Instantly you can see that it is better to have rakeback + bonus rather than just rakeback
