Merge Gaming Network confirms new policy on rakeback

The Merge Gaming Network, whose sites include Carbon Poker and Poker Nordica, announced that players will now be able to receive rakeback on tournament and sit and go fees.

Previously, Merge Gaming Network players could only receive rakeback on ring game play. Now, tournament fees, including those charged for multi-table and sit and go events, are also eligible. The Network’s full slate of poker rooms includes Poker Nordica and Reefer Poker.

The decision to allow rakeback on tournament and sit and go entry fees echoes a recent one made by Ultimate Bet, which is part of the CEREUS poker network.

Rakeback is a source of free bankroll without having to source the biggest sign up bonuses. Rake exists in cash games based on the size of the pot and tournaments based on the buy-in, rakeback is a promotional and rentention tool used to give regular real money poker players some of their rake back.
