Rakeback

A rebate on the rake (fee) charged by the poker room. Players receive a percentage of the rake they've paid back into their account, reducing the effective cost of playing. Rakeback deals are a primary way crypto poker affiliates provide value to players and can range from 10% to over 50% at some crypto poker rooms.

Example

You paid $500 in rake this month at a room offering 33% rakeback. You receive $165 back into your account, effectively reducing your cost of play.
