The recent explosion of online poker has seen poker companies listing on the stock exchange and everyone trying to get a piece of the action. There are now hundreds of poker sites on the internet to pick from but at the end of the day all of them offer exactly the exact same thing - the possibility to gamble some of our money against faceless opponents, sitting miles away in some other involved in 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 having to leave the home. We don't have to travel, go out in to the cold, be worried about dress code or possibly a taxi home. We can play any time of the day or night - there is no closing time. We aren't required to miss Corry or Enders. As long as there is money in our poker account we can play till our hearts content.

But that's the problem isn't it - how do we keep money in our account. The first few times of playing online poker gambling - cecaep.edu.pe explains, we are feeling our way in, learning the guidelines. But it appears so fast and furious. We are always being told to hurry up by the computer - "Hang on I'm thinking! He is 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 several hands; we begin 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. Cannot quite win even though. But we are not feed for the sharks any more. We have not made a deposit for days now and we're still playing!

But this really is all dependent upon winning - at least now and after that. Poker is all well and good when we win, but once 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 is amazing how lots of people are now playing poker (right at this very second even) that do not know about Rakeback. It appears to be just a little known proven fact that many of the poker companies, who are desperately vying for our business, actually offer money back just for playing.

Well it's time for you to spread the excellent news.

The profit that the poker companies make is called 'The Rake'. They take a percentage of the pot of every game which is played. We don't even notice it's gone. But it builds up into quite a little pile of profit for said company. The term Rakeback actually comes from the method used in casinos where the dealer would use his chip rake to drag a number of chips in to a bucket...just 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 over 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 nice little injection of money.

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