We achieve this by providing detailed news focusing on poker sites’ promotions we judge rewarding, by being honest and accurate in our rakeback reviews and by offering sizeable poker promotions on a monthly basis.

If you are not familiar with rakeback, please visit our poker rakeback page where you will be able to learn more about rakeback poker and how it works, among other interesting facts.

Rakeback Poker | What Is Effective Rakeback?

The notion of ‘effective rakeback’ is directly related to the one of ‘total return’. Let us explain.

Each poker network has what is called a ‘cap’ on the maximum rakeback percentage it is offering to any of its players. This cap is a ‘flat’ rakeback percentage and is what you receive as a rakeback payment whether this payment is made monthly, weekly, or even daily for some poker sites. Rakeback caps vary from network to network, as you can see from the tab listing our offers, just on your left.

Effective rakeback, simply put, is the total amount of rake you can get back at the end of a given month if you add up the rakeback ‘cap’ you are being offered through your rakeback poker deal, the money you can receive from the poker room itself through its own promotions, and the promotions affiliate poker sites like Rakeback1st are providing you with.


Effective rakeback = ‘flat’ percentage + poker site’s own promotions (+ reload bonuses) + affiliate promotions


As you can see, when you sign up to a rakeback poker room, you should not only look at the maximum cap offered, but at all the rest too if you want to maximise your rakeback which is part of your profits as a poker player.

To give you a quick example, some poker rooms offer reload bonuses more frequently than others. A reload bonus being cleared with rakeback - once you have taken advantage of the sign-up one - can normally add a good 15% to your total rakeback return. This cannot be neglected. Some poker rooms have very rewarding promotions for players like their own rake races, some have less worthy ones. The cash prizes you can receive through such poker promos are not deducted from your rakeback payments, and this as well adds to your total rakeback percentage. On top of poker reload bonuses and poker sites’ offers, you are also able to receive additional value from affiliate poker promotions we exclusively offer you such as rake races, rake chases and freerolls. This is also more rakeback in your pocket. It all adds up doesn’t it? :)

You can find out more about poker sites having what we would call the most ‘effective rakeback value’ on our best rakeback offers page. On this page, you will also have the possibility to read more about a few extra details you should really take some time to look at when looking for a rakeback poker deal. There, you will find our finest deals (whether they are rewarding you through a VIP program, or 'pure' rakeback), and we will show you why they are very competitive.

So you know, we also offer free poker coaching from Drag The Bar, a top poker coaching site. Get better at poker with the help of top online pros, move up in stakes, win more money, and make more rakeback!

We hope you have found this page helpful. Another handy one you might be interested in checking is our online poker rooms page which holds a full list of all the great poker sites we promote, along with ratings that we gave when reviewing them.

Non-rakeback poker sites offering rakeback indirectly through VIP programs can be found on our rakeback deals page, where you will find a lot of useful information too! Depending on the volume you put on a monthly basis, playing at some sites with rewarding loyalty schemes can be extremely interesting. But of course, it all first depends on whether you are based in Europe or the United States, the limits you are playing, the kind of traffic you are after, how ‘picky’ you can be when it comes to a poker software, etc. Our rakeback reviews might help you.

If you are struggling in your quest to a high rakeback poker deal and have questions, please feel free to contact us. We are here to help!
