Founded in 2004 by online players, RakeTheRake quickly became the largest and most reputable rakeback affiliate in the online poker market. As RakeTheRake work with all of the top poker rooms this therefore increases traffic to their sites and in turn secures the best rakeback deals for players.   They really are a cut above everybody else and look after their players very well.

Good poker players need a good deal of skill and expertise. To win at poker you need to have a really good memory and be great at reading other people whilst all the while maintaining your own unfailing ‘poker face’. Given all this, you have to wonder how online poker rooms can work – if the whole point of the game is for players to be able to read each other’s expressions, surely playing online against unseen opponents would make it impossible to win? But this could work both ways, and being invisible to your opponents could make it easier to keep that poker face even when you think you’ve got no chance.

Whichever way you look at it, playing poker online is a very different game. If nothing else, poker sites like Full Tilt Poker have brought the game to a much wider audience and give them the chance to bet as much or as little as they like. It’s much more tempting to take risks playing poker online, as the other players can’t see you so won’t be able to tell if you’re telling the truth. The downside to this is that you can’t see them either and have no way of telling if they have been dealt a good hand. You need to rely heavily on your memory but with a little bit of practise it’s possible to become as good at online poker as you can offline.

The danger of course is that a player who was new to the game and lost a lot of money could be tempted to go back and keep trying to win until they have nothing left. But provided you limit yourself to betting only what you can afford to lose then playing poker online could be a great chance to have some fun, make some money and learn something new. The only disadvantage to playing on popular sites like Party, Betfair and Absolute Poker is that they make their money by taking a cut of every pot, called the rake, as commission. It’s worth looking around for a good rakeback deal before signing up to a poker room, sites like raketherake.com have loads of great rakeback deals for most of the main online poker rooms.
