Frequently
Asked Questions about Internet Poker Propping
What is Rake?
The way that poker sites make money is by taking what is
called rake. For each "$X" amount of money in each
pot/hand, they take a % of that pot. For example: If
there's $40 in a pot for a hand, they might take $2 out
of that pot.
What is Rakeback?
Rakeback is simply paying you back the rake that you
"paid" the poker site from each pot. Here's an example
of 100% rake back for 1 hand/pot: Let's say that there
are 6 players dealt into this hand. The pot builds up
and the poker site takes $3 in rake for this hand. 100%
rakeback would be defined in this particular hand as
$3(rake) divided by 6(# of players) which would equal
$0.50

Do you tell me which site I
signup to Prop for?
We do not. Once you request infromation we send you a
list of available sites to prop at and you choose which
one, or which one's, you want to sign-up for. You can
sign-up at as many of them as you like.
Do you tell me which tables and
limits to play?
Some prop deals are only for specific tables and games,
others are open to all cash games, it depends on the
site. At times we may request that you help at a certain
table, but we will never ask you to play a game or limit
that you're not comfortable with. |
