Using Rakeback to make money.

premierplayer · Feb 22, 2008

I never even thought about rakeback until recently. After doing research I have come to find out that in most cases playing 50/1 or .25/.50 all you need to do is break even for the month and you will get back a reasonable ammount to increase your bankroll.

I'm starting to seriously consider taking all my roll over to FT and earn the 27% rakeback. If I'd have played there form the start it would have earned in the region of $2k

I'll check my exact numbers when I get home to PT but from what I remember I'm averaging just under 1.5PTBB/100 hands in rakeback at FT. Definitely nothing to sneeze at.

Well I know stars doesn't do rakeback, but with their FPP bonuses you basically can get rakeback. According to this: Poker Stars Avg. Fpp 100 Hands? - Two Plus Two Forums

230 VPPs per 1000 hands at 50nl. At gold that's 460 FPPs per 1000 hands or 0.46 FPPs per hand. $285 is for 25000 FPPs so that's 54,348 hands for $285. Works out to .5244 BBs/100 (since a BB is $1 at 50nl). This may not seem like much but if I'm currently averaging about 1,000 hands/hour (although only at 25nl) so that's a boost of $5.25/hour, not bad at all. Anyone have rake stats at 50nl?

how do you get the rake back?

-foldemstupid · Feb 23, 2008

do you have to ask for it ?

zachvac · Feb 23, 2008

Actually this is crazy. Playing 50k hands/month (about what I'm averaging at 25nl, and I'm playing about 15 hours/week) at 50nl will get you platinum by their estimate. With the platinum bonus, this will get you an extra $4485/year. Not bad.

Yeah I am also in the dark when it comes to rakeback programs ... anyone can point us to a thread or post info about this, and how/where to do it?

WVHillbilly · Feb 23, 2008

I don't like to put links in post like this (looks like you're fishing for referrals). Just google rakeback and you'll find a multitude of sites that offer it or check out the rakeback specific forums on 2p2.

If you play alot rakeback is a must. The problem is that you have to create your account through the rakeback provider. If you already have an account at a site i don't think you can't go and change it to a rakeback account.
