I was wondering if there was such thing as rakeback in live poker. I found that players like Scotty Nguyen get paid to sit in Cherokee Casino and play and also, players like Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, Antonius get paid to sit at Bobby's Room to play poker. Can this be considered rakeback? These players I mentioned were just examples of high stakes poker cash game. For low and middle stake, I think they use players like prop players and shill players. Casinos pay them so these high stake celebrity players will stay in their casino and make other players come to their casinos to play them. It looks like each casino can be considered a team and casinos(teams) compete against each other to draft good players(professional poker players) to attract customers and poker players to sit down and play high stakes against pros.

and search up prop player and shill player, prop players are players who get paid hourly to start the tables or keep the game active while using their own money

shill players are players who get paid hourly to do same thing prop players do but they use casinos' money.

Can these be equivalent to rakeback players online? If this is true, then I guess having a rakeback can be considered having a job. There are prop players who go broke. Same goes for rakeback players who go broke even with rakeback.
