HerculesPoker Explains How Rakeback Can Make Poker Playing More Profitable

    ST. JULIANS, MALTA, July 05, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Even the most seasoned poker players may not understand every poker term that comes their way. And for many players who are relatively new to poker, some of the jargon thrown around a poker room can seem intimidating.

HerculesPoker provides an excellent playing incentive of 30% rakeback when using the promotional code 'rakeback'. This is a secret bonus not shared on the website's home page. The rakeback will be included in weekly payments made directly to the user's account on Tuesdays.

So what is rakeback? It is a way of maximizing winnings when playing poker. The term 'rake' refers to the percentage of a hand that the house takes for itself. This is what enables the online poker room to make money and operate. Usually this 'rake' is around 5% of the pot, though it varies from site to site.

Sites track the earnings each player receives monthly and then pay out any affiliates who are credited for sending a player to the online poker room. As a means of competitive advantage, affiliates suggested paying back a percentage of the money taken from players, calling this a 'rakeback'. It encourages players to sign up and continue to play through an affiliate.

With HerculesPoker's 30% rakeback deal, the player will get back 30% of the cost HerculesPoker charges as a playing fee. A casual low limit player can make a few hundred extra dollars a month, while a professional (or any higher level player) can make more than $3000.

As the value of the rake is a percentage, it is directly proportional to how much money you play with. This means that the amount a player can earn in rakeback is in their hands entirely. HerculesPoker also offers a 200% first deposit bonus (up to $1000 value) which allows every player to earn even more money on rakeback.
