Tracking Rake

[sarah]

Hi, just wondering if you are going to set up a facility to allow everyone to sign in and track their rake live throughout the month as I know a lot of other rakeback sites do? Thanks

Hi Sarah,

Welcome to the forums.

We currently have a raketracking/">rake tracking module in internal testing, and hope to have it live by the end of this month.

Edit: As of Aug 1st rake tracking is still in testing phase.

Keep us updated please

Regretfully I must say that rake tracking is still delayed. We had commissioned the rake tracking module from an outside source and got a version to internal testing at the end of July, but finally decided to build it in-house from scratch. We realized that we need to be able to make in-house adjustments and integrate the tracking to our planned referral module.

Work on the rake tracking is underway, and I'll tell our graphics designer Mesoa to post a production screeenshot here over the weekend so that you'll see what we are working on.

If you have any specific requests, we are listening.

Hey all,

Here's a sneak peak at rake tracking module that we're currently working on.

Looks really good. We are looking forward to seeing it implemented.

Our programmer reports that coding is complete. We will now test is a bit before releasing it as beta.

So, let me see if I have this right. It's in Alpha right now, heading for Beta.

Let me know when it gets to Omega....

Was wondering if tournament entry fees are included in rakeback calculations? Anyway a tracking system will be great - although its kind of a fun surprise each month to see how much your getting on the 18th.

Razzy,

I'll save Molilla some typing, here's what he posted to me a short time back...this is for FullTilt, the one I am with, just adjust the % for other sites.

"Rake + Tournament Fees - Bonus - Player Added - Used Pts - Player Fees" X 27%=rakeback


Rake = rake while dealt in / divided by number of players in game
Tournament Fees= Just the +part after the base fee i.e. $20+2, $2 being the fee
Bonus= any bonuses earned and paid out to a player
Player Added= On "guaranteed" prize money tournaments the amount short (based on
entries), of the guarantee divided equally between the number of entrants
Used Points= 0.005 cents per point for purchases or point's tournaments
Player Fees= charges from depositing (credit card charges, Neteller fees etc)

Hope that answers it.

Sorry but am i misunderstanding or r u really deducting the bonus they(full tilt poker give for depositing)from rakeback?

Yes. Full Tilt and some other rooms deduct bonuses from your rake before they pay us, and therefore that amount of rake cannot be included in the Full Tilt rakeback calculation. We cannot pay you if we do not get paid.

Deducting bonuses from rake is a pretty common practice among poker rooms. They pay affiliates for the profit that a player generates to the poker room. If a player is paid a bonus, he must first generate more rake than the given bonus before he actually is generating profit.

most poker rooms dont do it.
For example i registered sunpoker,littlewoods via your link and they both paid me rake and the monthly bonus.is there a list of poker rooms do it the way i say?
