There are hundreds of rakeback providers so how can you tell which one is the right one use? The answer is quite simple. You must choose the rakeback provider who has the poker players interest at heart. There are many rakeback providers who are owned by non poker players who do not operate under this condition.
These sites basically rely on heavy handed marketing to direct people to their generic site and hope that the potential customer will sign up and start playing on a poker site first and ask questions later. Ok so you will receive rakeback but will the rakeback site actually help their members progress as a poker player?
All rakeback providers should offer the following basic services along with actual rakeback
First deposit sign up bonuses
Rakeback stats updated daily
24/7 customer support
Prompt, Reliable Rakeback payments
However poker players should not just settle for the above and should not sign up with a rakeback provider unless they offer the following
Exclusive members only rake races, rake chases and freeroll tournaments
By participating in rake races and chases you can effectively increase your rackback percentages to 50% or 60% dependant on prizes awarded. Or if you cash in one of the weekly freeroll tournaments, you can multiple your poker bankroll for free.
Refer a friend and earn lifetime commission on their rake
Some rakeback sites will advise you to tell a friend about their service and offer a flat fee ($50) if they sign up. Do not settle for this, if you refer a friend you should automatically receive a percentage of their rake for life.
Weekly poker strategy, motivational articles and free poker training
This is the most important of all. Good rakeback sites run by poker players understand fully that not all people who start off playing poker are winners. Therefore they should take a keen interest in their members poker career to help them in anyway possible to improve their game and make them a winning player as quickly as possible.
They can do this by regularly updated poker strategy articles which not only teach the basis but also the advanced concepts which are needed today to crush the higher limits.
Not only this but they should offer free membership to one of the leading poker training sites such as Deuces Cracked or Cardrunners. Do not settle for free membership to a shoddy outfit which releases one training video a day by some instructor no one has ever heard of. Only settle for the best. The long term benefit of free poker training from a leading poker training site can not be over estimated.
For the professional poker player who is already a winner, then the rakeback provider should offer more motivational articles which will encourage and spark life into their daily routine. Rakeback providers run by poker players fully understand that even though you are a consistent winner sometimes it is hard to put in the hours therefore they need all the help hey can get when it comes to finding a source of motivation.
As you can see from the above, not all rakeback providers are the same. Above all it must have the poker players interests at heart.
