Citizen Erased 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi, all.I've been reading about people playing on Cake Poker quite a lot recently and was wondering if I should sign up there.The main reason for doing so would be to exploit the RakeBack. I have TexasHoldEm already for that, but can't get money transferred to me on there so am just giving up, really. How would the RakeBack work for me, and how does it work? I usually 4-table $10NLHE and put in around 500 hands a day, I think.Also, I have PokerAce HUD and PokerTracker. Will these work with CakePoker?What's the play like there?Are there any other benefits/ flaws I should know about?Many thanks.Zach. Link to post Share on other sites

(PM obv)Been thinking about starting to play there though, cause I hear good things. (About the donkeys.) Link to post Share on other sites
ThePhoenix88 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Can I get rakeback on a existing account? Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Can I get rakeback on a existing account?LOL... Always the first question... I doubt it. Sites just don't do that.And for everyone else. If you ever want rakeback... Figure that out BEFORE you make an account. You don't know how many times people do it backwards and then it's too late. Link to post Share on other sites
Citizen Erased 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 no doubt this thread will be subsequently swamped through rotters offering their various services.Suited_Up was first, and helped me out with TexasHoldEm (although I doubt he remembers), so if I was to do RakeBack, I'd go through him.How often is Rakeback credited to the player's account?

clingfree 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I've played a bit on Cake, I would recommend playing some of the freerolls to see if you like the interface.Play is exceptionally soft and I have managed to make a few $ playing them. Nothing huge yet, but I'm working on it. I have only played a little bit of ring there and found the lower limits to be equally bad. Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Technically you are not allowed RB but a simple IP address refresh and email change and hey presto you can get rake back again. You just need a bit of ingenuity.Well I suppose if you wanna go that route, lol. Link to post Share on other sites
cardcore 0 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 cake is sooooooooooooooo soft, definitely play there if you cant play on texasholdem.com :)not to hijack the thread, but we are adding epassporte very very soonbut yes, high rakeback there, SOFT SOFT SOFT games, the software is kinda buggy tho Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman008 0 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 For cake poker the rakeback is credited once a month on the 5th.I think someone asked that. Link to post Share on other sites
tskillz187 0 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I hated Cake. No resizeable tables, the worst software I've ever seen, etc. The play was pretty bad. The thing I didn't like about the rakeback was as you clear the 100% deposit bonus, it takes away from your rakeback first, that annoyed me and I got out. Link to post Share on other sites

El Guapo 8 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 This is probably a dumb question, but how does rakeback work? Why would site be willing to give part of the rake back to the players, this has never made any sense to me. Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 This is probably a dumb question, but how does rakeback work? Why would site be willing to give part of the rake back to the players, this has never made any sense to me.First off, to bring players in.They pay affiliates to bring them players, so the affiliates give up some of that equity, figuring that giving you rakeback is better and more appealing than giving you nothing.Though there are a lot of affiliates who just work off normal referral links and don't give the player anything back.And secondly, to keep the players I would assume. I would think that players would rather play somewhere that they are getting money back from, rather than somewhere they're not, especially if it's not one of the big 2 rooms.60-70% of something is better than 100% of nothing.

EStormOk 0 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 So a question I have always had, this seems as good of a place as any to ask. I used Poker Source Online for Party Poker a long time ago. I think I remember hearing you can't do PSO and rakeback, is that correct? Which is more cost effective to use?Thanks in advance for answering a donks question. Link to post Share on other sites

Take a look on the PT forums, there's a long thread with members arguing with Cake support staff about the merrits of PT. Cake's argument is that they want an even playing field for all their players and see tools like PT as cheating. Link to post Share on other sites

But yeah, once you're linked to an affiliate for PSO, you can't add rakeback. Link to post Share on other sites
