Choosing a Rakeback Provider that Works for You

By Thomas Kearns


Online poker players have a wide selection of choices when it comes to selecting a poker offer, and rakeback further complicates this equation by offering continuous rake rebates. While various poker bonus and rakeback sites market to you in order to generate a new client, it's important to take a step back to evaluate which rakeback provider is best suited to your game.

The number of rake back providers on line today, all aggressively marketing their services, seems to be too high to count. But, before you sign up with a specific site based on impulse, consider the long term return from a relationship with that provider. Consider your comfort with their business practices, their communication and customer service. These are just a few of the factors to take into account when choosing the best rakeback answer for your needs:

1. Locate the poker site where you wish to play

The first thing to consider when selecting a rakeback provider is to determine a site where you want to be playing. Limit your search to sites where you do not currently have an account, as only sites where you have not signed up are eligible for rakeback. The obvious reason to select a rakeback site is to move you toward profitable play, but be sure the site you choose has the right selection of game tables, competition and volume as well as software that meets your requirements. Rake rebates are not an end in themselves. They should be a bonus to enjoyable play on sites like Absolute Poker, Full Tilt or Ultimate Bet.

2. Finding a Reputable Rakeback Provider

Before signing up for a new rakeback offer, make sure that the site partner is reputable and offers regular payments according to terms. The largest rakeback partners have a track record of regular payouts, quality customer service and automated tracking. Generally, poker sites work with selected partners to offer the rebates, and you can identify reputable sites on the basis of online reviews, customer testimonials and by checking the offer with the site.

High offers which seem much different from traditional rakeback bonuses should set off alarm bells. Often these are tendered by rogue affiliates looking for hasty signups, but don't deliver future payments to players. To limit the risk of the loss of rakeback confine your evaluations only to trusted sites. Getting feedback from players with positive rakeback experiences will help you select quality rebate offers that suite your needs.

3. Receiving the Highest Percentage of Rakeback

Once you have identified your ideal site and a set of providers, you can then compare offers on the basis of rebate percentage. Often times, sites will cap rebates to partners meaning you have a choice between identical monetary offers. In these cases, you should opt to work with the rakeback providers which offers you the most features, best communications and has the best reputation. A quick contact with customer service can help you identify their methods.

In some cases, different rakeback providers offer varying levels of discounts providing you with a real choice between the offers. Selecting the highest rebate percentage means more rebates in your pocket but also evaluate the rebate intervals to determine how often rebates are issued - more frequent rebates can increase your bankroll to put you in a better position to succeed.
