888 Poker Rakeback: Up to 50%
By RTR Alex
Rakeback has been a feature in online gaming for decades now, with players expecting to put extra cash back in their pockets as they risk their chips at the tables.
And now, for the first time in 18 years, 888 Poker is returning to the rakeback party!
Players can now earn weekly rakeback at 888 Poker. And it's simple... The more rake you generate, the higher your level and the more rakeback you receive.
The new scheme gives players the opportunity to earn up to 50% rakeback, with the lowest level starting at 20%.
And what's more? You can earn even more rakeback by signing up through RakeTheRake!
We run a monthly $8,000 rake race, so all the rake you generate not only earns you rakeback from 888, but also from us! Plus, we're offering DOUBLE PRIZES for all new sign-ups in August.
This extra rakeback is on top of any other rewards you earn, and there is no limit on how much extra cash you can receive back into your bankroll.
888's rakeback scheme has a very simple structure, but there are a few key things to remember:
The extra rakeback is currently only available when you play on the 888 poker cash game tables
You must generate at least $50 worth of cash game rake during a calendar week.
Full Rakeback Structure:
Rakeback Level | Rakeback | Weekly Rake |
Level 1 | 20% | $50 to $499 |
Level 2 | 35% | $500 to $999 |
Level 3 | 50% | $1,000 or more |
888 Poker Cash Games
Without a doubt, No-Limit Hold'em stands as the reigning champion of cash games worldwide, whether it's online or in brick-and-mortar casinos, and it's no different at 888.
Enthusiasts can play both six-handed and nine-handed No-Limit Hold'em cash games, with blinds starting as low as $0.01/$0.02 and climbing the ladder up to the $25/$50 level. There's a Hold'em table for everyone at 888 Poker, and plenty of opportunities to start earning rakeback.
For those who prefer something a bit different from the traditional Hold'em games, Pot-Limit Omaha is a great alternative. On 888poker, players can join the action at six and nine-handed tables, with stakes that again span the $0.01/$0.02 range, all the way up to $25/$50.
Adding even more variety to the mix, 888poker accommodates fans of Fixed-Limit Hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo. They may not be as popular as Texas Hold'em or your regular Pot-Limit Omaha, but there are still plenty of tables to join no matter what stakes you play.
All of these games will allow you to climb the levels of the rakeback scheme as you play. So, whether you're a low stakes recreational player or you're a regular at the online poker rooms, you can earn rakeback at a variety of tables, so long as you reach that minimum rake amount of $50.
