POKERSTARS RAKEBACK

PokerStars have long been the industry-leading online poker operation. Even though they were seriously affected by the Black Friday indictments, unlike Full Tilt Poker, they’ve repaid many of their US customers and they’ve re-established themselves as industry leaders focusing on other areas of the globe. The company had embarked on a global quest to establish a solid presence in various markets well before the Black Friday events and that move seems to pay handsome dividends these days as the reliance of the site on the US market wasn’t as heavy as that of its competitors.

Anyway, PokerStars hasn’t really lost any of its legitimacy after Black Friday and they continue to serve a huge mass of cash and tournament players. Although the pre-Black Friday numbers are now but a distant memory, the site still hosts about 20,000 real money cash game players at peak hours. The competition is still rather tough to beat, despite the fact that with the locking out of US players, many of the pros who played at the site can no longer log in.

The software is nothing short of exceptional. It is currently the best online poker software available anywhere. The game selection is awesome too: there’s 5-card draw and Razz, and what’s even better, there’s actually traffic at these tables too.

The sign-up bonus offered by PokerStars is a rather standard one. While there is no PokerStars rakeback currently on offer, there’s an equivalent VIP cashback deal, which can be tweaked to equate with 74% rake rebate.

On base level, players will earn 9-17% cash back. The more VPPs one generates, the bigger rake rebate percentage he/she will be able to secure. In order to take home a 74% cashback, players need to reach the SuperNova Elite status which is no easy feat.

The bottom line is: the more you play at PokerStars, the more they’ll make it worth your while.

Oddly enough, PokerStars’ support is only available through email. The staff is knowledgeable though and replies are usually on time and on target.
