The recent explosion of online poker has seen poker companies listing on the stock exchange and everybody trying to get a piece of the action. There are actually now hundreds of poker sites on the internet available but by the end of the day they all offer exactly the same thing - the opportunity to gamble several of our hard earned cash against faceless opponents, sitting miles away in some other a division of the globe. In our underwear if we so wish.

The adrenalin rush of sweating it out on the turn of a card with a small fortune at stake is now reachable without the need of to leave the home. We aren't required to travel, go out in to the cold, worry about dress code or a taxi home. We can play any time of the day or night - there is no closing time. We don't have to miss Corry or Enders. As long as there is money in our poker account we can play till our hearts content.

But that is the problem isn't it - how do we keep money in our account. The very first few times of playing we're feeling our way in, learning the rules. But it seems so fast and furious. We're always being told to hurry up through the computer - "Hang on I'm thinking! He's probably got an ace but I'm not really sure. Give me a second to think! Oh I fold then."

But as time passes by, and we begin to be worried about how many Neteller transfers we appear to be making, we gradually get the hang of it. We win a number of hands; we start to work out our opponents; we actually come off a table in profit!

We up our stakes, we start playing the bigger tables - no limit even. We enter a tourney or two - even get to the final table. Can't quite win even though. But we are not feed for the sharks anymore. We have not made a deposit for days now and we are still playing!

But this is all determined by winning - at least now and after that. Poker is all well and good as we win, but as we have to keep clicking that 'Deposit Funds' button it becomes rather tiresome. If only there was some way to guarantee that funds are deposited into our account without the credit-card taking the hit.

Well actually there is and it's amazing how many people are now playing poker (right at this very second even) who carry out not know about Rakeback. It appears to be a little known idea that many of the fantastic poker online companies, who are desperately vying for our business, actually offer money back just for playing.

Well it's time to spread the great news.

The profit that the poker companies make is called 'The Rake'. They take a portion of the pot of every game that's played. We don't even notice it's gone. But it builds up into quite just a little pile of profit for said company. The term Rakeback actually comes from the method utilized in casinos where the dealer would use his chip rake to drag a couple of chips in to a bucket...only to cover their costs. And make the odd million.

Online poker companies do the same thing, albeit electronically. And as an incentive for us to sign up with their site, they offer referral incentives, within the form of Rakeback, through various online Rakeback sites. This really is just what it says on the tin - we get a bit of 'The Rake' given back to us. Thus, for almost every hand that we play, the poker site takes their share and gives us a little back throughout the affiliated Rakeback site. If you play enough poker this may add up to a tidy little sum and come the end of the month, our poker account receives a great little injection of cash.

It does not matter whether we've won or lost - we've played. And that is all we have to do to get our Rakeback. If we play enough it can fund our poker for the whole month. We can even lose and still not be out of pocket. Imagine that.
