Online Poker Whores

If you are playing poker seriously online you should understand that someone besides the casino is making money on you. Whoever signed you up is in some way an affiliate for the online casino and making up to 35% or more of the rake you pay. There are 2 ways to maximize your online poker dollar. The first is to find bonuses at all the sites. Besides initial sign-up bonuses most poker sites have re-load bonuses every month. Check out this site for detailed information - www.bonuswhores.com If you are always hitting a bonus this comes out of your total rake so you can get a large percentage of the rake you pay back.

The second method is, when you are not playing for bonuses, to be getting some of your rake back from the affiliate that signed you up. Check out www.rakerebatereview.com for affiliates who offer rake back. Don't fall for a cheap $200 bonus or a free poker set as a one-time sign up perk. This is a rip-off. These people often make hundreds and even thousands of dollars on one single player every month. The moderator of the Rake Rebate Review site does a great job answering questions and checking the credentials of affiliates. I'm listed in the forum and you can contact me through the Rake Rebate page at www.onlinepokermentors.com I offer rake back at EuroBet, Empire, Battlefield, Full Tilt, a PokerRoom skin and a few others as well as a few sites that don't allow public advertising.

One last thing - a lot of players don't know they are earning VIP points when they play. Check out your site and see if you've earned points, which you can often redeem for entries into free tournaments or various other poker stuff at their gift shops.

What is a rake?

Dave, A rake is the cut the house takes. Typically the rake is taken out of every pot, so the amount you get back when you win a pot is reduced. This is how the casino makes its money.
