New Type of “Player Comps”

You think you know it all about the on line poker world? Have you heard about rakeback? It’s a new concept which is much different than the old Las Vegas player comps style. Now many of the internet poker rooms give away a percentage of their own take and profits through rakeback. When a player signs up to play poker on line they have the option of either making a deposit to play cards with real players for real money or choose to play with free chips and allow themselves to become familiar with the game. These two options for gaming are the standard for a multitude of all on line poker rooms, however the introduction of rakeback is something new to many new poker rooms and is certainly ruffling the feathers of land based casinos.

Before the rakeback offers began to resurface, the on line casinos and poker rooms used several methods to reward players for their loyalty. The first and most basic was extra deposit bonus, which was given by most of the poker rooms. The amount of extra chips depended on the amount of players deposit and played hands. If you look at all the bonuses and extras in the poker world that are available for players, rakeback is the most attractive way a player can be rewarded.
