Rakeback is rake that is refunded to the player. Most online poker rooms offer to give back a percentage of the rake they take from the player if they sign up through a rakeback provider. The typical rakeback offer is around 30%, but can be higher or lower depending on what room you are playing at.
A few examples would be Cake Poker rakeback offering 36% and PKR rakeback who offer 30%. Continuing with our example, if the typical player who raked $1080 a month played at Cake Poker and received 33% rakeback, he would receive about $356 of the rake he paid during the month back as a refund. That is a huge chunk of cash! Especially for a low limit player who only plays a couple hours a day.
