Rakeback compared to the sign-up bonus
With some many online poker rooms regarding rakeback a festering cesspool
intent on engulfing the entire industry, and with nearly each and every one
of these rooms offering their players sign-up bonuses, the question pops up:
which one carries more benefits for the player? The rakeback, or the sign-up
bonus? Poker rooms are obviously looking out for their own interests, so
could it be that what these haters regard as a threat to the industry is
what players should really be after?
If one takes a proper close look at the sign-up bonus, he’ll soon realize
it’s not that much different from rakeback.
As a matter of fact, there’s a mere technicality setting these two concepts
apart, and other than that, they’re absolutely similar.
Players get a sign-up bonus when they register a new account at a poker
room. The bonus money is transferred into their bonus accounts first. They
have to redeem it though in order for it to reach their real money account,
where they can do whatever they want with it. In a word: the bonus money
doesn’t yet belong to the players until after redemption.
The bonus redemption is based on player points called FPPs, PP, FPSs, VIP
points etc. Players have to generate a given number of such points for every
bonus dollar. These VIP points are generated in a directly proportional
manner with the generated rake. What this means is that players need to
generate rake in order to unlock their bonus. In other words, by releasing
their bonus, players get a part of the rake that they generate through the
bonus redemption process, back. This though, is the very definition of
rakeback. Through rake rebate or rakeback, poker rooms restitute a set
percentage of players’ generated rake.
The only difference between rakeback and the sign-up bonus is that while
sign-up bonuses expire or they’re redeemed completely, rakeback never does.
Rakeback is basically a never ending bonus.
Worry not about making the correct choice when having to pick one or the
other. Some poker rooms offer them both and they don’t even subtract the
bonus from the rakeback, so for a while (until you redeem your bonus) you’ll
be earning double rakeback there. Rakemeback.com
offers several such deals. The descriptions of the deals are accurate too,
and they include information on both bonuses and rakeback.
