How Rakeback Is Calculated
Every bet carries a house edge, say 1% on crash. Rakeback pays you a percentage of that edge back. At 10% rakeback on a 1% edge, you receive 0.1% of every bet; wager $1,000 and $1 comes back. At 50% rakeback it is $5. The site still keeps the rest, so rakeback never makes a game profitable; it lowers the cost of playing.
Sites quote rakeback as a percentage of the edge, not of the bet, which is why 50% rakeback sounds bigger than it is. Some sites also apply it only to originals, not to slots or sports. Check which games qualify.
Rakeback Versus a Deposit Bonus
A 100% deposit match looks bigger but comes with wagering, typically 30 to 40 times the bonus. On a 1% edge game, wagering $4,000 to clear a $100 bonus costs about $40 of expected loss, so the bonus is worth around $60 and your balance is locked until you clear it. Rakeback pays immediately, with no lock, on every bet for as long as you play. For anyone who plays regularly, rakeback is worth more.
