New Rakeback Policy Benefiting Carbon Poker Members
Carbon Poker, as part of the Merge Gaming Network, has upgraded its Poker Rakeback program to further benefit members of the online poker room with the addition of Tournament Rakeback.
Players on the Merge Gaming Network, which includes CarbonPoker.com, Aced Poker, Reefer Poker, Poker Nordica and more than a dozen others, will now be able to accumulate Rakeback on both scheduled and Sit’n’Go tournament fees.
Rakeback is a popular promotion offered by 3rd party poker portals that allows players to earn a percentage of their contributed rake back into their bankroll. With no evident disadvantages, more and more online poker players are seeking out online poker Rakeback deals to increase their profit margins invariably.
Online poker rooms collect a ‘rake’ from cash game pots in order to fund the operation. Since players compete against each other, the rake and associated tournament fees are the only way for online poker rooms to turn a profit.
Providing a Rakeback program that pays players back a portion of the ring game rake has become a normal offering for some of today’s most popular internet poker rooms, but the addition of tournament fee Rakeback is much more rare, and certainly appreciated by avid online poker tournament players.
The Merge Gaming Network and Carbon Poker have other bold headlines in the past few weeks of online poker news, most notably as the Texas Hold’em Bad Beat Jackpot finally tipped the scales, surpassing the $1 million mark.
Carbon Poker and the Merge Gaming Network aren’t the only ones to initiate such a favorable Rakeback deal of late. The news comes on the heels of UltimateBet’s mirrored campaign. UltimateBet, newly merged onto the CEREUS Network with Absolute Poker, recently announced it would be paying Tournament Rakeback, as well as upping its Wednesday $100k Guarantee to $150k; the buy-in of $1k remains the same.
