PayNoRake Rakeback
VIP Information on this page is accurate as of September 1, 2016
UPDATE – PayNoRake is NOW CLOSED, however players can still play on the Chico Network via other skins. US players should join Betonline and RoW players should join Tiger Gaming.
At PayNoRake cash game players earn flat rakeback of 0 – 100% depending on how much they win and how much rake they pay. Rakeback payments are automatically paid every day shortly after midnight ET.
SNG / MTT players don’t earn rakeback and since tournament leaderboards are shared across Chino skins these players should join Tiger (RoW) or BetOnline (USA).
PayNoRake Rakeback Calculation
Cash game rakeback is calculated according to 1 + (Profit / – Rake), as a percentage, over a rolling 60 day period. Rakeback percentages cannot be outside the 0-100% range.
For example Player A profits $1000 over 60 days and rakes $2000. They’d receive:
1 + (1000/-2000)
= 1+(-0.5)
= 0.5 therefore 50% rakeback or $1000
Player B profits $2000 and rakes $500. They’d receive:
1 + (2000/-500)
= 1+(-4)
= -3 therefore 0% rakeback
Player C profits $500 and rakes $2000. They’d receive:
1 + (500/-2000)
= 1+(-0.25)
= 0.75 therefore 75% rakeback or $1500
Player D profits $0 and rakes $2000. They’d receive:
1 + (0/-2000)
= 1+(0)
= 1 therefore 100% rakeback or $2000
All four players end up +$2000 after rakeback.
