August 1st, 2010

During June and July, RakeTheRake players who refer friends to the rakeback specialist’s site will rank in a new leaderboard. And the ten players who notch up the most referrals by 31 July 2010 will win some fantastic prizes: a mini jukebox replica (worth 795 US Dollars), an LG champagne flute home cinema system (worth 720 US Dollars), an Apple iPad (worth 625 US Dollars) and a really cool pocket cinema (worth 360 US Dollars) are all up for grabs. On top of this the 6 runners up will receive some high quality RakeTheRake merchandise.

Players simply need to login to their RakeTheRake account and invite their friends to sign up for rakeback by entering their email addresses. It’s completely free to join and ensures they get cashback from every game, win or lose. Alternately players can select special banners and text links to add to their own websites to promote the benefits of rakeback to players. The referral period runs from 1st June until 31 July 2010. There will be a cash alternative to the main 4 prizes on offer.

For any RakeTheRake players who refer their friends, they will earn a regular monthly commission of 4% of their players net rake and for all sub referrals 1%. No commission payments are taken from players rakeback.

In every poker game a commission, or rake, of around 5% of the pot is taken by the online poker room and it’s non refundable unless you have a rakeback program in place.

RakeTheRake works with all the top online poker rooms to bring up to 100% rakeback to players. Rakeback, also described as poker cashback, assures online poker players of getting the maximum cash from their game, whether they win or lose.

With more than 600,000 US Dollars up for grabs in freerolls and rake races each and every month, RakeTheRake ensures their online poker players receive the very best return on all games played.

You can also sign up to Full Tilt Rakeback and Everest Poker (no climbing of mountains necessary).

Enjoy The Highs & Lows Of The World Team Poker Event - Part 2

July 12th, 2010

Ferguson is prized for his 2008 win of the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship and the Main Event Winner in 2000. Ferguson is a mathematical genius and is without doubt a very strong member of Team USA.

Harman steps up to represent the all-American women and is the only woman who has consistently played and done well in the highest-stakes live game, running regularly at The Bellagio. Harman holds 2 WSOP bracelets and has contributed to classic poker instruction books as well.

America has its comical characters as well, which team USA personifies through the inclusion of Mike “The Mouth” Matusow. Matusow is notorious for his table talk, which is typically pretty out-of-this-world and entertaining to say the least. The 2005 WSOP Tournament of Champions title went to Matusow and he also holds 3 WSOP bracelets.

Erik Seidel is the final team member for Team USA. Sdidel was the champion of the World Poker Tour Foxwoods Championship and is included in the top five on the all-time poker money list. Due to the fact that Seidel has a total of 8 WSOP bracelets he will by no means be a force to be taken lightly.

During the event, Team USA will face a number of International talents including China, Australia, Vietnam, England, Brazil and Greece. The World Team Poker Event will feature eight different countries, each of which will call forth five-man teams. The captains of the teams will be allowed to call for substitutions during the event, adding an extra element of suspense and team strategy.

Surely, an event not to be missed- only time will tell if Team USA can pull it off and bring home that American Dream.

Everyone knows that with teamwork many amazing feats can be accomplished that one could never pull off alone; but did you know that there is a rakeback team out there waiting for you to join them? If you decide to opt in you can gain bit rakeback benefits to not only yourself, but also a small group of poker friends, fellow associaties or even your worst enemy.

If you don’t have any buddies, then why not play PokerStars Rakeback or Party Poker from the comfort of your home?

If you know your limits a little flutter does no harm

August 10th, 2009

We’ve all heard horror stories about gambling ruining people’s lives and ending up causing broken homes, addiction and debt. Obvoiusly no one wants to end up like this, and many people make a point of never placing even the tiniest bet, in case it ended up happening to them. But in fact gambling can be incredibly exciting, and if you know what you’re doing you could find that it’s easy enough to win heaps without losing too much.

The most important thing is to make sure you don’t go over your budget, or get involved with anything you’re not sure about. Sure, you can make serious amounts of cash by placing big bets and there are people who have become so good at gambling that they don’t even need to work. But these people have been successful because they know their limits, they keep a cool head and they don’t bet more than they could afford to lose. The thrill of taking risks can drive people to place big bets even when they’ve already made losses, but the trick is to be able to recognise when you’ve gone far enough.

Gambling comes in many forms, some of which are pure luck but some require a particular type of skill and experience. Anyone can buy a lottery ticket or scratchcard but betting on the horses or playing poker, whether at a real table or online sites like Everest poker, require a level of knowledge and experience to win, and it is these games that are the most fun to play. For people who want to enjoy gambling without the danger of getting too sucked in, online poker is a good place to start as sites likeLittlewoods Poker allow you to bet as much or as little as you like. It doesn’t cost much to sign up and although most poker rooms do take a percentage of each pot as ‘rake’, there are some great online poker offers available where you can get most of this back. Gambling won’t do you any harm, it can be fun especially when you think your plan could pay off, provided you allow for the possibility of losing and don’t bet too much at once.
