Betfair Rakeback

Betfair rakeback is calculated via the contributed method and there is a “no flop, no drop” policy. If you play loose and get involved in a lot of pots Betfair Rakeback is a great option for you. Tight players are better off with the ‘dealt rakeback method’.

Playing at Betfair Poker

Betfair’s wide range of tournaments includes the daily $11,000 event, the weekly $16,000 tournament and the monthly $50,000 guaranteed tournament.
Most of the players at Betfair Poker are European. The games at Betfair Poker are generally quite loose and soft, which makes this poker room a good alternative for the skilled player. Plus you can easily turn your Betfair Poker Rakeback into more money by dabbling in a spot of Sports Betting!
Betfair Poker has a refer-a-friend bonus, a Betfair point system, and a Threedom Pass, where players earn live tournament packages.
