Best Rakeback Offers | What Makes A Good Rakeback Offer?

There are several factors to take into account when looking for rakeback deals. If you think you are well aware of them, just skip this first section and go directly to the other section displaying our finest deals.

In case you didn’t know it, all the below parameters do indeed have great importance when it comes to getting the most value as a rakeback player:

1. Flat rakeback percentage

This is the percentage on your rake the poker room in question is going to pay you back, whether you go for a classic rakeback deal, or for a poker site offering a percentage of your rake back via its own VIP program. Some poker rooms will offer you more than others for example.

2. Rake calculation method

Poker rooms have different methods when it comes to calculating the above percentage. Some rake methods will reward tight players, others will be more rewarding with players who like to play a wider range of hands. This is important to choose a rake method that is suited to your style of play – and favourite game – when considering a given online poker rakeback offer. More details on rake calculation methods can be found on this page, in the third section.

3. Deductions from rakeback

This is very important to consider. Does the poker room deduct bonuses from your poker rakeback, or your monthly generated rake (MGR)? If they do, you will receive less. Always relevant to take into account.

4. Poker room promotions

Before registering as a rakeback player at a given poker site, it is always interesting to look at the promotions it’s offering to players, as it can have quite an impact on your overall rakeback return.

5. Poker room reload bonuses' frequency

This is in line with the above. Some poker sites do offer reload bonuses to their players more frequently than others. That is a fact. Having a reload bonus from time to time on top of your rakeback is not something that is neglectable, even if these types of bonuses are not being offered every single week. Subscribe to our RSS Feed and receive frequent rakeback news about reload bonuses currently available (or valuable poker room promotions allowing you to add to your total return). Or check our poker reload bonuses page more often :)

6. Affiliate promotions

99% of the time, a rakeback deal can only be granted to a player if he signs up through an affiliate site like Rakeback1st. Reputable rakeback providers like us offering big promotions on top of their offered deals provide you with more value every month. Sign up at a chosen poker site through us, and receive additional value with rake races, rake chases and freerolls. We also offer free poker coaching on select sites.

7. Fish factor

It is always nice to have a huge rakeback percentage when adding up all the above, however you should keep in mind that the type of competition you are going to face at a given poker site also matters when it comes to your bottom line as a poker player.

Best Rakeback Offers Through Rakeback1st.

Now that you are - hopefully - more aware of the different factors you should take into account when deciding to open a rakeback poker account at the room of your choice, it is now time for us to present you the best rakeback offers! No rakeback deal is perfect (nor is any poker room), and it all comes down to your own preferences as a player (poker network, software, preferred game type, etc.). Simply mouse over the below logos for details on sign-up bonuses and feel free to click on any poker room logo to be directed to one of our detailed rakeback reviews for 2012 where you will find several sections, as well as pros and cons for instance. If you are playing poker on a Mac, just bear in mind that rooms of the iPoker and Cake networks neither offer a Mac version of their poker client, nor an instant-play version that can be used in your browser. The below table should help you make a good choice so you get excellent value for your time spent at the online poker felt:

* A green sign means your bonuses will not be deducted from your rakeback.

** VIP Program 'instead' of rakeback (at NoiQ Poker, you have the choice between the two options).

*** Betsafe Poker, Black Chip Poker and PokerStars do not offer rakeback, well not directly. Therefore, when you are clearing a bonus on one of these three poker sites, these bonuses will not be deducted. They come on top of what you receive depending on your VIP status.

**** The PokerStars’ VIP program is clearly a very interesting option for high-volume players playing NL100 and above. Below NL100, it is probably recommended to opt for a classic rakeback deal on one of the above poker sites (or on Betsafe Poker or Black Chip Poker).

***** Network-wide rake race. Not exclusive.

Best Rakeback Offers | Final Thoughts, Comments And Advice.

The above poker rooms are members of the best poker networks you can find online as a player, and we clearly believe these reputable and safe sites are where you will receive the most rakeback value, month after month. Trust us, you cannot go wrong with one of these superb deals. PokerStars is the online poker market leader and is a fantastic room offering what is simply the best VIP program in the poker world. Due to the nature of their business, PokerStars do not run affiliate promotions with websites like ours, thefore we cannot offer anything additional to what you will receive as a PokerStars player via their loyalty program.

For a complete list of the online poker rooms that we promote, please visit this page. There, you will find more information regarding rakeback percentages attainable during sign-up periods – when you have a welcome bonus to clear -, which can be of clear interest as well if you are bonus-whoring from room to room to grow a bankroll. Just remember that on this specific page, the grades we are giving reflect all the aspects of the poker room, not only its total rakeback value for players as on the page you are on right now.

When signing up for one the poker sites that we promote, simply make sure you follow the sign up instructions carefully to be well tracked with us. It would be stupid to miss out on rakeback or on our exclusive promotions, wouldn’t it?
