$10,000 New Depositors Freeroll at Iron Poker
Rakeback.com has added new iPoker skin Iron Poker to it’s list of rooms.
All players receive 40% flat rakeback – not the new source based rake system most iPoker skins use since 2015 – regardless of volume. So it’s a great alternative for winning players disadvantaged by the SBR system.
$10,000 Freeroll for New Depositors
Another great reason to try out Iron Poker is all new signups receive one free entry to the monthly $10k Bonanza.
This $10,000 freeroll runs on the first Friday of each month, and is usually only open to players meeting certain volume requirements each month.
Play in your first $10k event completely free simply by opening an account.

Our iPoker Rakeback Boosted – Now Up To 75%
Previously players signing up to iPoker skin Winner Poker via Rakeback.com received 60-70% source based rakeback (SBR):
- Players raking <$500/month received 60%
- Players raking $500+ in any one month received 65% for life
- Players raking $2000+ in any one month received 70% for life
SBR Controversy
However, the new SBR system iPoker adopted had its critics. Only half of that 60-70% figure corresponded to ‘old rakeback’, i.e. how iPoker used to pay rakeback prior to Jan 1, 2015.
The other half came with some deductions, depending on how much a player deposits and loses into the poker ecosystem. Read more about iPoker’s SBR update on Pokerbills, the site Winner players track their rake on.
In theory, recreational players – ‘fish’ – who lose at the tables could receive as much as 100% rakeback, because the new system positively rewards them. Players who cash out more than they deposit, however, end up with less rakeback than advertised.
Players interested in rakeback deals tend to be net winners and fall into the second category.
Some of our players at Rakeback.com have reported earning 35-45% flat rakeback, after iPoker’s deductions. That’s a downgrade compared to pre-2015 rakeback deals, of around 50%+.
Winner Poker Listened to Complaints
While the games at iPoker may have become easier since the introduction of SBR, many grinders have quit because of iPoker’s confusing new system.
Winner still care about winning ‘regs’, as they start tables, and provide action. In the hope they’ll return, Winner Poker are now boosting all new and old Rakeback.com tagged players who become active again, to 5% extra rakeback.
Simply start grinding again if you’ve become inactive at Winner Poker, or sign up via the links on this page if you’re just starting out.
New Rakeback Levels
Source based rakeback remains, still tracked on Pokerbills. However, each level has been improved by 5%:
- Players raking <$500/month now receive 65%
- Players raking $500+ in any one month now receive 70% for life
- Players raking $2000+ in any one month now receive 75% for life
So if, for example, you calculated your rewards in Holdem Manager to be equivalent to around 45% flat rakeback at Winner Poker, you can now expect to earn 50%.
It’s not a huge improvement, but is currently one of the highest iPoker rakeback percentages around. Get active again or sign up below to take advantage.
