What is rakeback?
Rakeback returns a percentage of the house edge on your bets, so you get something back whether you win or lose. It is usually paid as a balance you can claim daily, weekly or monthly, depending on the casino.
Rakeback, cashback and lossback
- Rakeback is based on how much you wager, regardless of the result.
- Cashback and lossback are based on your net losses over a period, so you only get paid when you lose.
- Boosts and tiers raise the rate as you climb a VIP ladder, so the headline number is often the top tier rather than what you start on.
What to compare
- The starting rate, not just the maximum.
- Whether it is paid instantly or on a schedule.
- Which games count and at what weight. Slots often count fully while table games count less.
- Any wagering attached to the rewards you receive.

Play responsibly
Rakeback does not remove the house edge. It only reduces it, so keep stakes within a budget you are comfortable losing.
