What is rake?
The rake is what a poker room takes out of each pot in order to make money. Typically the rake ranges from $.05 to $3.
What is rakeback?
Rakeback is the part of the rake that you get back either directly from a poker room or from a poker affiliate (i.e. RakeFreeze.com). With rakeback you are essentially being rewarded for being a loyal player and you get a certain percentage of the rake you have paid back each month. If you are a serious online poker player you probably pay hundreds or perhaps thousands of dollars in rake each month. Signing up for a rakeback deal here at RakeFreeze.com would save you about a third of that money!
What is a special bonus?
RakeFreeze.com negotiates with poker rooms to get the best sign-up/re-load bonuses possible that are usually exclusive to our users. Normally they apply to all first time real money depositors. The special bonus is added in top of the rakeback and other added money. The special bonuses are an important benefit of being a RakeFreeze.com player.
What if I have already signed up with a poker room?
If you already have an account with a poker room you generally can't open a rakeback account with that room. What you can do instead is see if you can open an account with another skin on the same network that offers rakeback. But there are exceptions so be sure to email us and ask.
How do I get my rakeback money?
Most poker rooms listed on RakeFreeze.com will transfer your rakeback automatically to your poker account by the 15th of the following month. Some rooms will transfer rakeback to a players account on a daily basis. For more specific information about the poker room that you are interested in, please check its individual page here on RakeFreeze.com.
How is my rake and rakeback calculated?
To figure out how much rake you have paid and how much rakeback you will get the poker rooms use a formula called Monthly Gross Revenue (MGR). How they come up with your MGR can vary a little (for more specific information about the poker room that you are interested in, please check its individual page here on RakeFreeze.com). Most rooms, however, take the total amount of rake taken out of all the games you were dealt hands in and divide this number by the number of players dealt in. Almost all rooms also include any tournament fees you have paid in your MGR. Most rooms then subtract any bonuses you might have received from the rake you have paid. The number that is left is you MGR and it is a certain percentage of this number that you can get in the form of rakeback.
How can I find out how much rake I have paid and how much rakeback I am due?
When you sign-up for a rakeback deal at RakeFreeze.com, we give you access to our Members Only area (Members Only area will be up shortly, for now stats are emailed on request). To check how much rake you have paid and how much of this you will get back all you have to do is to login to the Members Only area.
Will bonuses affect my rakeback?
Generally, sign-up bonuses and reload-bonuses will affect your rakeback. Any bonus you get will usually be subtracted from your monthly gross revenue (MGR). For example, if you have paid $600 in rake in a month, and cleared a $100 bonus, your MGR would be $500 ($600 - $100). For more specific information about the poker room that you are interested in, please check its individual page here on RakeFreeze.com.
Do tournament fees count toward rake?
Most poker rooms will count tournament fees toward rake and include them in your Monthly Gross Revenue (MGR). For more specific information about the poker room that you are interested in, please check its individual page here on RakeFreeze.com.
What is a poker room skin?
A poker room skin hosts the same games, tables, and players as the poker room licensing it out. As a player, you wont notice much difference at all. Sometimes you might see individual promotions. For example, Inter Poker and Sun Poker are two skins on the same poker network, Cryptologic.
What is flat rakeback?
With a flat rakeback deal you get the same rakeback percentages regardless how much you pay in rake. This is the kind of rakeback deal that most poker rooms offer.
What is progressive rakeback?
With a progressive rakeback deal your rakeback percentage depends on how much rake you have paid. Your rakeback percentage goes up as your amount of rake paid goes up.
