Frequently Asked Questions for Rakeback

RakeBreak.com takes pride in the fact that we always have followed the rules and guidelines of the poker sites that we deal with. Getting rakeback from us is possible because we have made arrangements with the various poker sites on our list. We help out the poker sites by bringing players to them and in return, each of these poker sites that we refer you to, gives us a percentage of your rake as commission. Then, we give you up to 90% of this commission back!

We at RakeBreak.com are a group of avid poker players who are committed to offering you incredible rake back offers, while providing excellent customer service. We typically reply to all emails within 12 hours and we are willing to accommodate our clients in every way possible -- while abiding by rules and regulations of our affiliated poker sites and respecting your privacy and security. Of course, we are always open to your comments and suggestions on how to improve our site.

In most cases, no you cannot. However, a few of the sites on our list are willing to transfer your existing account to us at support@rakebreak.com for more information.

Skins are basically different companies that all share the same software platform and run their tables through the same server.  For example, Sun Poker and InterPoker are 'skins' on the Cryptologic Network.  These poker sites host the exact same player base.  Therefore, while playing on the Cryptologic Network, you are sitting across the table from players that have signed up through Sun Poker or Interpoker or any other 'skin' on the Cryptologic Network.

Yes, we do offer better rakeback deals on certain sites which allow higher rates. If you are generating thousands of dollars in rake every month, you may email support@rakebreak.com, and we'll see what we can arrange for you!

(DEALT) For example Full Tilt, Sun Poker, InterPoker, and Cake: Take the total rake collected, divided by the number of players at the table (i.e. $2 rake, divided by 10 = $0.20). Thus, on that hand you generated 20 cents even if you folded preflop. Then, 20 cents x # of hands you play in a month determines your MGR (rake) that you generate for the poker site.

(AVERAGE CONTRIBUTED) For example Ultimate Bet, Absolute Poker, and Action Poker:   Players must contribute to the pot (even just 10 cents), in order to be credited for rake generation on that particular hand. The total rake is divided EVENLY by the number of players who contributed at least 10 cents to the pot (includes small blind and big blind). Therefore, let's say that Player #1 puts in $10, Player #2 puts in $60, and player 3 puts in $60. The total rake taken is $3. Each player has generated $1 in rake!

(WEIGHTED CONTRIBUTED) For other sites: Every player is credited rake from each pot according to how much he has put into the pot. For example, a pot’s size is $40 and the rake taken is $2. A player who contributed 10% of the pot (which in this case would be $4) would be considered as having generated 10% of the rake ($0.20). Players who do not contribute any stake into the pot he would not receive any credit.

We receive a report on how much rake each and every one of our referred players generates from our partner poker room. With this data, we can quickly figure out how much of this rake we owe you.

You can track your daily rake stats either on our site directly by accessing your 'My RakeBreak Account' or on the poker site itself.

We offer two rakeback payout options: a Cash Out Any Time feature or a monthly payment schedule called 'Sweep' you can choose which you prefer in your ‘My RakeBreak Account’ section.  The rakeback payment can go into your player account or your RakeBreak account again the choice is yours.

This depends on the poker room.  Please see the poker room's review page for details on their policies,  however, for most poker rooms you will generate rake. The amount of rake you generate is simply the tournament fee.

You must generat at least $50. If you don't generate enough rake to qualify for the $50 payment (i.e. at 30% rakeback, MGR must equal $170 or more), then you will not receive a payment for that month's play. It will roll on to the next month. 

MGR stands for "Monthly Gross Revenue".  Your rakeback can be up to 50% of your MGR, depending on the poker room, less transaction fees and/or bonuses that may be deducted from your MGR.

Yes, you will still receive a sign-up bonus along with your monthly rakebreak! We will send you all of the necessary information after you register for a RakeBreak account.

Please keep in mind that on some poker rooms bonuses are deducted from your MGR.

For some poker rooms, all or a percentage of bonuses that you have cleared during any given month will be deducted from your MGR for that particular month.  Please see that poker rooms review page for details.

NOTE: AP and UB (effective February 22, 2007 and FOR US PLAYERS ONLY); and Full Tilt -- throughout the month deduct the following from your MGR:

Deposit fees
Tourney overlays (added money to players' tourneys)
Points in their store or for tourneys
Full Tilt Poker also deducts released signup and reload bonus dollars

For Full Tilt, Absolute Poker, and Bodog, our site displays "NET" rake, which is equal to MGR minus deductions.

We offer two options to get paid for the players you refer to RakeBreak. Option one, we will pay you 2.5% commission of that player's monthly rake for life. Or option two, we will pay you a one-time $50 cash bonus when that players has raked $500 combined on our poker rooms listed on our site. Simply create a referral code in your 'My RakeBreak Account' section and choose which commission type you want your player to use when they set-up their RakeBreak account.
