What is rake?
The 'rake' is the amount the poker room removes from each pot, as a fee, for hosting/offering the poker game. The amount taken from each pot varies by limits, but is generally anywhere from $1-$3 on average per hand.

What is rakeback?
When you sign up with a poker room through Rake Tracker, you will receive a refund for every $1.00 that you pay in rake. This refund is known as rakeback. No matter what limits you play, whether you are a professional or just play poker for fun, receiving rakeback will greatly increase your win-rate, and allow you to make more money.

What is "Total Rake" or "Net Revenue"?
Each poker room may have a different term for "Total Rake" or "Net Revenue", but it is essentially the total rake paid by you as calculated by the poker room. When Rake Tracker pays your rakeback, it is always a percentage of your Net Revenue.

What is a Rakeback Provider?
A rakeback provider, or affiliate, is a person or company that advertises for a poker room or a group of poker rooms. Rakeback providers are paid a percentage of Total Rake for each one of their players. Rake Tracker then gives a majority of the payment from the poker room, in the form of rakeback, back to you, the poker player.
