What does rakeback mean in poker?
The 'rake' is a small percentage of each pot that goes to the house (host casino). This is the way the house makes money on poker. As an example, say two players are in a pot. After several betting rounds the hand reaches the river and there is $500 in the pot. The first player shows the best hand and wins. Say the rake in this casino is 10%, that would mean the player gets $450 and the casino gets $50. Often there is no rake deducted from the pot when the hand doesn't reach the flop (the 'no flop, no drop' rule).
