Tiger Gaming Rakeback
Tiger Gaming does not offer traditional rakeback, instead players exchange their Player Option Points (POP) for a base rakeback equivalent of 3 – 5% and then high rakers are eligible for large additional returns from monthly reload bonuses, rake races and tournament leaderboards.
Tiger rewards are top heavy and well-suited to high volume grinders.
US players can’t join Tiger but can play on the Chico Network via the BetOnline skin, which has the same software and players as Tiger.
Up to 5% Rakeback from Points
Players earn 10 POP per $1 rake paid in cash games, SNGs or MTTs.

POP are traded for cash in the Tiger cashier. Alternatively they can be redeemed for tournament entries.
Additional Tiger Rakeback Payments
Tiger Gaming also runs a cash game rake race, an MTT leaderboard, and a SNG leaderboard.
The cash game rake race has an unlimited prize pool, the MTT leaderboard awards entry to $500 – $2000 GTD private tournaments, and the top ranked Sit & Go player is awarded $1,210 every week.
While not traditional rakeback, these promotions can raise a regular player’s equivalent rakeback percentage to even higher levels. For players that prefer flat rakeback, there’s the PayNoRake skin.
A high volume player on Tiger might expect to receive approximately 40% rakeback although an exact calculation would have to take into account the games played and leaderboard positions reached.
33% Rakeback from Tiger Deposit Bonus
All players are eligible for the initial deposit bonus of 100% up to $2500, worth an equivalent 33% rakeback. The bonus is released in 5 parts, each part requiring 6 POP per $1 deposited.
E.g. depositing $2500 will require 15000 POP to release each $500 increment, which is $1500 in rake.
Players have 30 days to release as many increments as they can. Use bonus code NEWTG. Email support at [email protected]tigergaming.com to receive your bonus after depositing.
