What’s a Rakeback Pro?

A Rakeback pro is a high-volume, low return daily grinder. Rakeback pros are largely concerned with putting in a lot of hours and playing a lot of hands. They generally make little to nothing in the actual game and derive the majority of their income from Rakeback.

How Can I Become a Rakeback Pro?

The first step is to sign up for poker rooms offering rakeback. Since you’re going to put in lots of hands, it’s a good idea to open accounts at multiple rooms to take advantage of bonuses and promotions.

How Much Do I Need to Play?

Check out the charts below to determine how many hours per month you need to play to be a rakeback pro. The first is based on industry giant, PokerBaazi and second is based on the top US-facing room, PokerHigh. Both are based on the folowing assumptions:

· Playing 6-max NLHE only

· An average of 90 hands per hour per table

· Earning ₹28000 per month

· 100% of this income coming from Rakeback (thus breaking even in the actual game)

Over the traditional Rakeback Whisperingshouts.com will keep giving constant loyalty bonuses, tournament tickets, special deposit offers and priority support for their Pokerbaazi members making the total rakeback percentage more than 20%, if you take proper advantage of the promotions listed.

As the tables show, the higher stakes and more tables you play, the less you’ll need to play to achieve an equal monthly income. In fact, at the lower stakes and at a low number of tables it is not even feasible to be a rakeback pro because the hours necessary to play are simply too high.

This is also a sample of only 2 poker rooms. Depending on your site and the rakeback deal you get you may need to play more or less.

· Playing more hours

· Playing more tables

· Getting a better Rakeback deal

· Turning a profit in the games in addition to collecting Rakeback
