INDEPENDENT POKER GUIDE
Understand your poker rakeback.
Your selected VIP level determines the rate. Weekly poker rake determines the qualifying amount.
Seven VIP levels.
| VIP level | Poker rakeback |
|---|---|
| Bronze | 10% |
| Silver | 10% |
| Gold | 12.5% |
| Platinum | 15% |
| Diamond | 20% |
| Elite | 25% |
| Black | 30% |
Poker rake does not advance VIP rank; the published rules tie rank to eligible activity in other products. Do not spend more to chase a tier.
The qualifying period runs Friday–Thursday, ending 23:59 Eastern on Thursday. Eligibility starts on the first Friday after poker registration. Rewards are automatic, with at least $1 qualifying rake and $0.10 reward; amounts round down to the nearest ten cents. Check Missions and bonus history for your status. Poker mission levels refresh weekly on Wednesday, so a recent website VIP change may not yet apply.
Start with the tier you actually hold.
Poker rake contributes to the reward calculation but does not increase the general VIP level. Use the tier shown in your account; do not treat the highest advertised percentage as the default.
Estimate your rakeback over time.
Example inputs, not measured BetOnline averages. Use your own credited activity and pace. Stake labels do not choose a rake rate. Tables × hours × hands per table-hour gives hands per week; multiply by the rate per 100 hands and divide by 100.

Net rake cost shown after calculation.Estimated weekly reward, subject to eligibility and account records.
Monthly = weekly reward × 52 ÷ 12; yearly = weekly reward × 52. These projections assume identical qualifying weeks and unchanged rules, not guaranteed earnings. Each weekly reward is rounded down first. The tier marker shows your selection, not progress earned by poker play.
