Betfair Rakeback

Betfair has a new tier system where you can receive up to 40% rakeback!  Existing players are still defaulted to the 30-37% tier system, but if you are already playing there and would like to switch to the new system, email pokerinfo@betfair.com to be switched over.

Betfair is a rarity in the world of online gaming, one site that really fits all.  Founded in 1999 in Canada, if you want to bet on it, Betfair will do it. Everything from unfixed odds on dart tournaments to blackjack to poker, Betfair is one of the most comprehensive gambling sites yet to pop up on the internet.

While the action is unparalleled, the graphics on the site are far from artistic. Mostly text, mostly blue – do not expect to satisfy any aesthetic desires at Betfair.com. Even the cards in the poker rooms recall the pre-pentium days of Freecell and Solitaire.

There are few free games on Betfair, few play money tournaments and not much in the way of promotional prizes. There is, however, 24/7 round-the-clock customer service through email, live chat and telephone; a connection for TV listings in 20 languages so bettors can track their investments live and there is even some live streaming video.
For automobile fans, betfair.com is like the Skyline – not much to look at but as monstrous under the hood as anything else on the road.

While BetFair is on it's own network, feel free to check out Full Tilt Poker and Carbon Poker that are also independent networks.

* At this time we are running a series of rake races at Betfair.  Be sure to see the details in our Rake Race section and don't miss out on your chance to cash in! 

Monthly Requirements for Rakeback Tiers

 *Note that the 40% tier is in "test" phase until April 30th, 2009, and may revert back to 37% at that time.  If you are an existing Betfair player on the 30%-37% tier system but would like to be switched to the new tier system and get up to 40%, you need to email pokerinfo@betfair.com to be switched over!
