How 70% iPoker Rakeback Works

Rakeback.com’s exclusive 70% iPoker deal is made up of three tiers. Qualify for a higher tier once and you will receive it ongoing (e.g. no month-to-month goals to hit):

• 60% base rakeback for all players
• 65% rakeback ongoing upgrade if you rake $500+ in any one month
• 70% rakeback ongoing upgrade if you rake $2,000+ in any one month

Tier upgrades activate in the following month, e.g. rake $1,000 in your first month and you’ll receive 65% rakeback in month two and ongoing, regardless of future volume. Rake $2,000 in month six and you’ll receive 70% rakeback from month seven onward.

Players are paid rakeback in four monthly installments, approximately three days after each week’s play. For example, you’ll be paid on the 10th of each month for your rake over the 1st — 7th, then again on the 17th for your 8th — 14th rake and so on.

Source Based Rake

On Jan 1 the iPoker network switched to a ‘source based rake‘ (SBR) system whereby net depositing players receive more rakeback credit and each player is assigned a real player value (RPV). The advantage of this system is recreational players last longer in the games — so while your bb/100 from rakeback may drop, your winnings should rise.

iPoker created a separate website pokerbills.com where players can see data and graphs of their SBR, RPV and old rake for comparison. Log in with your Winner registered email and user ID to track your stats over any date range as shown in the example graph below.

Winner Poker Rake Structure

The ‘Rake per 100 Hands (€)’ and ‘Rake Paid per 100 Hands (BB)’ columns are based on 80.7 million hands of data-mining research conducted by the Rakeback.com research department.  The rake structure shown below came into effect April 5, 2014.

NO LIMIT & POT LIMIT HOLD’EM

NLHE and PLHE games are raked 5 — 6.66%. Rake is collected using the incremental method*.

5-10 Players

3-4 Players

Heads Up

* 6.66% refers to €0.01 per €0.15 in the pot. 5% is €0.01 per €0.20 above €0.05/€0.10 stakes, or €0.05 per €1 at €0.50/€1+.

POT LIMIT OMAHA

PLO games are raked with the same rake structure as NLHE & PLHE, at 5 — 6.66% incrementally*.

5-10 Players

3-4 Players

Heads Up

* 6.66% again refers to €0.01 per €0.15 in the pot. 5% is €0.01 per €0.20 above €0.05/€0.10 stakes, or €0.05 per €1 at €0.50/€1+.

LIMIT (Limit Hold’em, Stud, Razz, Limit Omaha)

NL and PL games are raked 3.75 — 4%. Rake is collected using the incremental method*.

5-10 Players

3-4 Players

Heads Up

* 4% refers to €0.01 per €0.25 in the pot at €0.02/€0.04 — €0.10/€0.20 stakes, €0.02 per €0.50 at €0.25/€0.50 — €1/€2, €0.20 per €5.00 at €2/€4, and €0.40 per €10.00 at €3/€6 — €10/€20. 3.75% is €0.75 per €20.00 at €20/€40.

Rake paid is lower in iPoker’s fast fold poker format ‘Speed Holdem’ owing to a lower average table VPIP. See here for info on rake in Twister Poker.

Winner Poker uses the weighted contributed rake method.

History of Changes

• Sep 4, 2012 — iPoker split its network into two tiers with separate playerpools, Winner Poker formed part of iPoker 1. The highest iPoker rakeback deals were around 55 — 60% value
• Jan 20, 2014 — iPoker introduces Twister Poker, its take on the Lottery SNG format
• Apr 5, 2014 — iPoker reverted all USD tables to EUR currency then removed stakes above €5/€10 in NL & PL and above €10/€20 in Fixed Limit. The Euro rake caps raised the effective rake, 100nl with a $3 rake cap suddenly became e.g. 115nl with a $3.57 rake cap depending on the exchange rate. 70% rakeback alleviates this somewhat.
• Jan 1, 2015 — iPoker switched to ‘source based rake’ a system which favors recreational players.
