Rakeback Tips: Tournaments

Most players who make real money from rakeback poker do so from cash games, as it is the fastest way to build your MGR.

However if you prefer to play online tournaments rather than cash games you can still benefit from our rakeback poker deals, but please be aware that the rake is worked out differently than normal rakeback poker.
In tournaments, all the chips must remain in play, so the online poker room cannot take a cut of chips out of the pots. So online poker rooms take a rake from the tournament entry fees. which are usually about ten percent of the tournament buy- in.
This applies to all kinds of tournaments; single table sit-and-gos or major events.
If you are primarily a tournament player, be sure you understand how your rakeback site and online poker room handles tournament rakeback before you sign-up as not all rakeback programs and online poker rooms necessarily handle tournament rake the same way they handle cash game rake, and some may not credit you with rakeback for tournament play at all, although many do.
