By RTR Alex
Today, we’ll be breaking down the top rakeback deals in all of online poker, guiding you through how they all work and hopefully, help you find the best fit for your online poker journey.
And don’t forget! On top of all of these deals, at RakeTheRake we provide even more money back on every cash and tournament hand you play, win or lose!
Check out all our current promos worth over $100,000 in rakeback!
Unibet - Up to 65%
The Unibet loyalty program rewards you for playing cash or tournament poker.
You can earn up to 50% cashback on the rake you generate, with a potential boost up to 65%.
To progress through the loyalty levels, you need to earn XP by generating rake. For every 1 cent you generate in rake, you earn 1XP. Collect XP to progress towards bigger and better loyalty levels!
The loyalty system has 34 steps, broken down into 7 levels. Whenever you reach a new step, you unlock a reward. These rewards could be cash, bonus points, tickets, and bonuses.
As soon as you reach level 2, you’ll start to receive bonus points, that can be used to buy playthrough bonuses and tickets. These bonus points are paid constantly as you generate rake in cash games and pay fees when playing tournaments. When you reach a new level, you increase your bonus points multiplier. This means you’ll earn bonus points at a greater pace.
If you reach level 4, you have the chance to receive bi-weekly playthrough bonuses for a cashback boost of 5% to 35%, but there are requirements you must meet to unlock the cash reward. You are not guaranteed to receive bonuses and the cash value can vary between bonuses.
The min rakeback % is the percentage guaranteed from bonus points and level/step prizes. Max rakeback % is what some players will be getting with the bi-weekly playthrough bonuses included.
Level 6 and 7 unlock a carry-over of the bonus points multiplier to the following quarter – you start next quarter with 12/16 BP multiplier instead of 0. The smaller value in Min Rakeback % for level 6 to 7-9 is without this carry-over unlocked while the bigger value includes the carry-over.
GG Poker, Betkings & Natural8 - Up to 60%
GG Poker, Betkings and Natural8 all have a rakeback scheme called the Fish Buffet.
Work your way up the Fish Buffet Levels by earning Fish Buffet Points (FP). On average, players will be rewarded 100 FP for every $1 paid in rake and fees.
There are 8 different levels, from lowest to highest: Plankton, Goldfish, Shrimp, Crab, Octopus, Whale, Platinum Shark and GGPlatinum.
Every time you "Level up" you Spin the Fish Buffet Wheel to determine your prize.
The higher the Level. The bigger the prizes you could win! At the highest rank, you can spin the wheel for a chance to get up to 100% cashback!
