Rakeback is like a little blessing from God, even for the low-limit player. Rakeback allows you to get paid back some of the massive rake you pay to Party. My deal is 25% back. This year so far I've made $2000 just from rakeback and I mainly play the $22 SnGs and $1/2 6 max.

Check the classifieds (top left) to find a rakeback provider. The rake can kill your results at the low limits, so you might as well get some of it back.

got any advice on who to use?

Always sign up with an affiliate if you can. After doing so though, it is usually more profitable to chase bonuses at lower limits.

i thought there were disadvantages to signing up with an affiliate for rakeback?

who do you guys use for your party rake?

[DeathDonkey]

Party Poker does not allow rake back under the T&C. Some of the other skins are more tolerant of such practices. People aren't discussing their rakeback providers because the mods have determining it becomes a spam fest (and rightly so). See the internet forum for details if needed.

If you want to know who I use, send me a PM and I will give you more info. It is against the T&C to discuss specific rakeback providers on these boards (keeps down spam and 2+2 makes money by advertising).

I'm happy with my rakeback provider, but you may want to check out the classifieds as my guy only gives me 25% back but I've heard other providers that give back 30%.

Party is starting to crack down on it although you can still do it for the skins I believe.
