PKR Rakeback - What? Why do I need it?

Posted by majc on 24 September 2007

Rake: Horticultural contraption for gathering
leaves, smoothing soil and light weeding.

That's right, think of the garden - join PKR with a PKRfriends bonus code 3½ times and get a whole rakeback.

No wait, that's not true.. You could buy a rake with your rakeback though if you're into gardening..

And that really is right. If you're going to play regularly - at PKR or anywhere else - the most important thing is knowing how to play poker. The second is rakeback and making sure you have it - It costs 30% more without it..

Everything you need to know about PKR rakeback & how to get it.

What is rake?

Rake is how PKR make money. PKR can't win games like a casino can, they can only charge a commission fee for organising them that's proportional to the pot or buy-in - the rake.

The 20¢ from a $4 win & the 50¢ in $5+$0.50

What is rakeback?

It's a cryptic title and unless you have an IQ over 7, you probably haven't guessed yet. OK, wait for it.. Rakeback is when you get rake.. back.. PKR rakeback is when you get rakeback from PKR. And 30% rakeback is.. you get the idea.

$10+$1 becomes $10+$0.70

And it's just as vital - if not more - for cash games where there's rake - at the standard 5% - for every hand that sees a flop. With rakeback, you get 30% of it back every time.

How do I receive my rakeback?

Every month, rakeback is paid straight into your PKR account automatically. It's always a nice surprise when your bankroll adds money to itself for no apparent reason.

Right, how do I get it?

If you don't have PKR yet, that's a good place to start. Click the banner, choose a bonus to go with your rakeback, and download it. PKRfriends50R, PKRfriends250R or PKRfriends600R.

Choose one of these PKR bonus codes to go with your PKR rakeback and then download PKR.

While it's downloading, they'll suggest the PKR01, 02 & 03 bonus codes, none of which come with rakeback so don't bother. You need to have a PKR account and make a first deposit with your PKRfriends bonus code and from then until forever, you're earning rakeback.

Note the minimum deposit amounts for the bonus
codes to be "valid" are $50, $100 and $250.

What if I already have a PKR account?
Can I still get rakeback?

In short, no - not with that account anyway. You can only use a credit card once so without another one, you'll need to get creative and I dunno, make a new account for your grandma and help her bankroll up to its first say, $800,000 before she takes over..
