Poker rakeback formula

Poker rakeback equals the rake you paid multiplied by your rakeback rate. If you pay $2,790 in rake during a month, a 15% deal returns about $419. Use the rake-paid BB/100 from your tracker when you have it; a generic volume preset is only a planning number.

How Rakeback Works

Rakeback is the portion of poker rake returned to players. When you play real-money poker, the room takes a small percentage of each pot as rake. A rakeback deal returns part of that fee, which reduces your cost of playing.

The two most common rakeback calculation methods are dealt rake and contributed rake. Dealt rake splits the rake equally among all players dealt into the hand, while contributed rake only counts players who voluntarily put money into the pot. Your actual rakeback can change a lot depending on which method your room uses and how often you enter pots.

A larger advertised percentage does not always produce more usable value. VIP tiers, points conversion, caps, tournament tickets, and expiry rules can all reduce the effective rate. Compare the posted percentage with the calculation method and payout terms.

Note: Actual rakeback varies based on room rake structure, game type, and your specific deal. This calculator provides estimates for comparison purposes.

Steps

1

Enter your volume and rake rate

Add your monthly hands, big-blind value, and rake paid in BB/100. A tracker figure is more reliable than a generic stake estimate.

2

Compare reward rates

Select the flat or VIP percentages you want to test. The calculator applies each percentage to the same estimated monthly rake.

3

Check the estimate against the terms

Review the monthly and annual result, then check tier requirements, points conversion, caps, payout type, and expiry rules before valuing a deal.

Pro Tips

  • Use rake paid from a tracker or room statement when possible
  • Treat tickets, points, and expiring rewards at their usable value, not face value
  • Do not move up in stakes just to reach a higher reward tier
  • Recheck the room terms because rates and qualification rules can change
