Rakeback is one of the most misunderstood parts of playing on agent-based poker apps. Here's what it is, how it's usually structured, and what to confirm before you claim one.
Rakeback is a share of the rake you generate at the tables that gets paid back to you, usually on a weekly or monthly cycle. It's effectively a discount on the cost of playing — the more volume you put in, the more it's worth.
On a public poker site, rakeback is often built into a loyalty program with published tiers. On many Asian-market apps — including the club-style rooms we track — rakeback is instead arranged through an agent or club rather than a public cashier setting. That's why the exact percentage, calculation method and payout schedule can vary by room, by agent, and even by promotion, rather than being one fixed published number.
WPT Global, CoinPoker, QQ Poker and Red Dragon Poker all run rakeback or cashback tied to a direct account rather than an agent. N8 Poker's cashback is calculated through the GGNetwork's own rewards system. BC Poker is the one room on our list where, in some regions, rakeback still runs through club or agent access — which is normal for that kind of app, but means the number you're quoted there can depend on who you go through as much as the app itself.
Exclusive rakeback available. We keep track of current rakeback arrangements across the rooms we cover — message us on Telegram and we'll confirm the live details for the room you're interested in, instead of a number that may already be outdated.
If a rakeback offer sounds unusually high with no clear explanation of how it's calculated or paid, treat that as a reason to ask more questions, not less. A clear, modest rakeback structure you can verify beats a vague, oversized number you can't.
