Poker player multi-tabling on three monitors, chips on the desk and the headline 80% rakeback: the golden era is back

Maybe online poker never needed to get this complicated. Maybe it just needed to be fun again. And now, finally, that’s happening.

RakebackPokerWorld is bringing you the launch first, and the pre-launch is open: only players on the VIP list will play before everyone else, ahead of the official opening.

Online poker by the numbers

Online poker keeps growing, and so does the money at the tables. Four numbers that show why this is the right time for a site built for people who actually play:

The golden era of rakeback, and why it ended

If you played online poker in the early 2010s, you remember when volume was truly rewarded. In the VIP programs of the biggest sites, more than 70% rakeback equivalent wasn’t uncommon for high-volume players, according to pokerfuse.

In November 2015, PokerStars, the world’s biggest poker site, announced VIP cuts for 2016: its top tier, SuperNova Elite, was capped at 45% rakeback equivalent. That December, more than 2,500 players sat out for three days in protest, PokerNews reported. For many grinders, that’s when the golden era ended.

Since then, poker sites have chased casual players with chests, raffles, missions and prizes you can’t put a value on. If you play every day, you get less. Today, the best rakeback among the sites we compare is 40%.

Now the math is changing again.

The 8 rakeback levels

The ladder is simple and transparent: you start at Level I with 30%, no minimum required, and move up as you play, all the way to Supernova Max at 80%. No mystery chests: at every level you know how much of your rake comes back, and it’s paid every week.

Pick how much rake you pay per month and see what you’d get back at each level:

At Supernova Max, $800 a month: $9,600 back in a year.

Example math: rakeback = rake paid × level percentage. Requirements for each level will be announced at launch.
