As an affiliate, i’m constantly asked if it’s possible to get pokerstars rakeback, and quite simply, the answer is no. Pokerstars rakeback is absolutely impossible due to the way rakeback works. You see, if a poker affiliate sends a customer to a poker site, the poker site in turn gives a part of the earnings that they get from the customer back to the affiliate.

So to use FullTilt for example, when a poker affiliate sends a customer to Full Tilt Poker, Full Tilt give up to 35% of the referrals rake back to the affiliate. Full Tilt also permit the poker affiliate to return any amount up to 27% back to the player. This is what’s come to be known as rakeback, or sometimes, less commonly, poker cashback. The reason that Pokerstars rakeback is impossible is very simple.

Pokerstars don’t give poker affiliates a share of the profits that they earn from referrals like other poker sites do, so affiliates don’t actually get any regular income to give rakeback out of. Pokerstars only pay affiliates a one off commission fee for each customer sent.This isn’t actually a bad thing though in my opinion, as the less incentive people have to play at Pokerstars the better, due to Pokerstars having the most difficult opposition in poker at their tables.

After all, even though we all love playing poker, i’m sure everybody will agree that we prefer to win, so playing on a poker site with the most difficult opposition to win against really doesn’t make any sense at all.

Especially once you take into account that the poker sites and networks with the easiest opponents also support rakeback, so you actually have two ways to gain money. To be honest, from my point of view, although i dabble in other forms of online gambling from time to time, my favourite by far is poker, but if i were a poker player who had no choice but to play at Pokerstars with its mind numbingly tight opposition and lack of rakeback, i’d probably stop playing online poker altogether and learn how to win at online roulette.
