Rake is the term given to the proportion of money taken, by the poker room, from all bets played on their software. This Rake covers the poker room running costs. Typically the rake ranges from €.05 to €3 depending on the size of the table and the poker room you are playing with.
Rakeback is the term given to the percentage of the rake you are paid either directly from a poker room or from a poker affiliate (i.e. rakebackcelebpoker.com). With rakeback you are essentially being rewarded for being a loyal player. Some poker rooms offer additional bonuses and promotions based on the value of your monthly rake. 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 rakebackcelebpoker.com would save you about a third of that money!
How will I get back my rakeback money?
Your rakeback will be added to your poker account. In most cases, the poker rooms themselves take care of transferring your rakeback into your account. In a few instances (e.g. Ultimate Bet and Eurobet) rakebackcelebpoker.com will transfer the rakeback money to your poker account.
When will I receive my rakeback?
When you receive your rakeback depends on the poker room you play at. Please check the individual page here on pokerraking.com for your poker room to find out when you will receive your rakeback. Please note, however, that your rakeback is always paid out the following month, i.e. the rakeback you have earned in July will be paid out in August etc.
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 rakebackcelebpoker.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 your 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?
When you sign-up for a rakeback deal at rakebackcelebpoker.com, we give you access to our Members Only area. 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. This area is linked to the poker room you sign up with so you get up to date live information.
My stats still show rake: €0, why?
We do our best to update our members rake stats from all the poker rooms on a daily basis. However, sometimes we are unable to get stats from all the poker rooms. Usually this is due to the poker room's affiliate site being down. If this symptom persists, please let our support team know via support@rakebackcelebpoker.com.
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 rakebackcelebpoker.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 pokerraking.com.
Do you have a refer-a-friend program?
Yes, we do. You can apply for the refer a friend program once you have signed up at CelebPoker to obtain your 30% Rakeback.
How do I refer a friend and get commission?
Once you have linked your poker account with your rakebackcelebpoker.com account, you will be able to refer your friends to our services.
