Beat The Recession With RakeBack!

When times get hard you need to start playing smart.

I think we've all been touched in one way shape or form by the global economic crisis but despite the doom and gloom that the worlds media portray I'm happy to still see plenty of people the world over filling up the online poker rooms.

I imagine some are there to let off steam, to chase the dream of riches, to supplement their income or just hang out and relax with other poker enthusiasts.

No matter why you find yourself at the green baize one thing remains the same, and that's the fact that the poker room will still be helping themselves to your hard earned money by way of the rake.

We all know the poker rooms take their slice otherwise why would they be there? it's not as if they're a charity, they too are in business after all. What does surprise me though is the huge amount of poker playing veterans who don't realise that you can take some of this money back.

The term used to describe this is aptly named rakeback. The rates of rakeback offered by different rooms vary quite a bit from around 25 - 50%. What you have to take into account is that some rooms that offer the higher end may only have a small amount of traffic/games running. Bigger rooms such as Full Tilt who only offer 27% on the other hand make up for the lower percentage by the sheer volume of games that seem to be endlessly running.

So you're probably wondering how you go about getting your money back now? There are many companies out there that will go between you and the poker rooms to ensure that you have the best deals available here's a link if you really want to find some of the best rakeback deals.

Now go, enjoy this extra money. Perhaps treat that special person in your life with a little something, if you're anything like me, they may feel a little like a poker widow at times and a good bottle might be just what they need (just don't let them know that your poker room bought it for them)

Good Luck
