Rakeback: money back on every bet

Rakeback (house edge rebate) is a return of part of the house edge on every bet, win or lose. It depends on play volume, not on results, so it is paid even to a player who is in profit.

Formula and example

Rakeback = bet turnover x house edge x rakeback rateTurnover of €10,000, a game with a 3% house edge, 10% rakeback: the player gets €30.

Turnover x house edge is the casino's theoretical revenue from the player's bets. Rakeback returns part of it.

What it costs

10% rakeback is 10% of the player's theoretical revenue. Actual revenue swings around the theoretical figure, so in a month of big wins rakeback can cost more than the player brought in. Include it in Bonus Rate together with other rewards.

Common mistakes

  • Taking the rate on turnover instead of house edge. 1% of turnover on a slot with a 4% house edge is already 25% of the casino's revenue.
  • The same rate for all games. On low-edge games, rakeback based on turnover eats all the revenue.
