Unibet Poker, Gala Poker and Betway Poker are all organizing great cash races in the second half of February and Rakerace.com will help you choose the room that provides you with the most value!

Unibet Poker is running an exclusive €1,500 cash race in February with €550 for first place! At the current pace, players are expected to get an average raceback of 22%.

Unibet Poker players registered through Rakerace.com are also eligible for the €500 fix bonus, which equals a 25% average cashback rate, and can also enjoy the benefits of the Unibet Poker Loyalty Program, which provides additional returns.

Players taking advantage of both the deposit bonus and the Loyalty Program while participating can expect to get returns of up to 97%!

(A minimum of €50 rake needs to be generated for the prizes to be cashable.)

Gala Poker is running an exclusive $10,000 cash race between February 15 - 28 with a whopping $2,200 for first place. We are going to look at the race that ran between February 1 - 14 to estimate the return percentages for the race.

Players received an average raceback of 32% and the paying spots on the leaderboard could be reached with $85 in rake, and players registered to Gala Poker through Rakerace.com have other promotions aswell to give them even higher returns.

Rakerace.com players are eligible for the 200% max $2,000 first deposit bonus, and can take advantage of the VIP System aswell, which provides an additional 10-38% cashback.

Players who take advantage of both the VIP System and the first deposit bonus while participating in the race can achieve returns of up to 78%!

Players cannot achieve a cashback higher than 100% from the race. If a player fails to generate as much rake as his potential prize, that player will only receive the prize for the position behind him. For example if a player with $115 in rake finishes 7th, that player will receive a $100 prize instead of $150.

If you want to play in a different network, Betway Poker in the Microgaming network is also a great choice. They are running an exclusive cash race between February 15 - 28 with a €1,250 prizepool and €300 for the winner.

Players who participated in the race that ran between February 1 - 14 have received an average raceback of 32% and the paying spots on the leaderboard could be reached with €63 in rake.

Betway Poker players registered through Rakerace.com are eligible for the 200% maximum $750 first deposit bonus and can also enjoy the benefits of the 30% fixed loyalty return.

Players who take advtange of both race, the first deposit bonus, and the 30% loyalty could earn a total return of up to 72%!

(Rake generated at Cash Game, Sit-n-go and MTT tables all count towards the race; however, you receive double points for rake generated in Sit-n-Go and MTT games. In other words, for each €1 rake generated in cash games, you get 1 point; for each €1 rake generated in Sit-n-Go and MTT games, you get 2 points on the race leaderboard.
A minimum of €25 rake needs to be generated for the prizes to be cashable.)

The race runs between March 1 - 15 with $500 for the winner. As of the latest update, there are only 8 players for the 10 paying spots on the leaderboard, and the biggest amount of generated rake is $3! Joining the Boyle Poker race is a great opportunity for any player with such a low number of entrants, but it is especially great for players who don't have a lot of time to play, because they don't have to battle huge fields to get some great returns!

As more players join the race the average raceback percentages will most likely drop but players can still expect exceptional returns if they join the Boyle Poker race.

In addition to the raceback, players registered through Rakerace.com can also achieve an additional 18-22% cashback from the Boyle Poker VIP club, and can also enjoy the returns of the 200% max $1,000 first deposit bonus for total returns of up to 1180%!

This week we are going to look at five different races in multiple networks to help you decide where you can get the most value out of your play! Check out the great offers of Mybet Poker, Winner Poker, Betfair Poker, PaddyPower Poker and Intertops!

Since most of the races started yesterday, we are going to look at the results from the races that ran between March 1 - 15 to see what kind of returns can be expected in the second half of the month!

The first three rooms that we are going to look at use the new Source Based Rake System to calculate the raceback percentages.

The SBR system still pays at least 50% of the raceback based on the old rake system, but on average, players can count with the bit higher average of 60% raceback from their generated rake.

Mybet Poker is running a $2,500 exclusive cash race between March 16 - 31 with $600 for the winner. In the $2,500 race which ran between March 1 - 15, players received an average raceback of 97%.

MyBet players registered through Rakerace.com are also eligible for the 200% max $1,000 first deposit bonus, and can enjoy the benefits of the MyBet Poker VIP Program aswell for additional returns of 9%-50%.

A minimum rake of $50 needs to be generated in order for the prizes to be cashable

Winner Poker is running a $1,500 exclusive cash race between March 16 - 31 with $500 for the first place finisher. In the race which ran between March 1 - 15, players acheived an average raceback of 75% and the paying spots on the leaderboard could be reached with just $45 in rake.

Winner Poker players registered through Rakerace.com are also eligible for the 250% max $2,000 first deposit bonus and can take advantage of the benefits of the Winner Poker VIP Club aswell for additional returns.

PaddyPower Poker calculates their raceback percentages with the old iPoker system which means the raceback return percentages represent the true returns that players can expect.

PaddyPower Poker is running a $3,000 exclusive cash race with $750 for the first place finisher. In the race that ran between March 1 - 15, players received an average raceback of 40%, and we see no reason why the return percentages would drop in the second half of the month.

PaddyPower Poker players registered through Rakerace.com are also eligible for the 100% max $500 first deposit bonus and can also achieve returns of up to 30% with the PaddyPower VIP Program.

Players cannot achieve a cashback higher than 100% from the race. If a player fails to generate as much rake as his potential prize, that player will only receive the prize for the position behind him. For example if a player with $115 in rake finishes 5th, that player will receive a $100 prize instead of $300.

Last but not least, we have Intertops, which is running a $2,000 exclusive cash race between March 15 - 31. In the race which ran between March 1 - 16, players received an average raceback of 44% and the paying spots on the leaderboard could be reached with $38 in rake.

In this weeks race review we are going to look at the rooms that are expected to offer the best returns, from the big rooms of the iPoker network all the way to our newest partner room!

iPoker Giga Returns

First of all lets look at the April offers of the smaller iPoker rooms. Most rooms in the iPoker network started using the Source Based Rake system for rake calculation from February 1. With the introduction of the SBR system winning players' rakeback has decreased, but the raceback returns are not affected by the SBR system, players receive returns regardless of their performance.

Players registered through Rakerace.com can still achieve outstanding returns with the help of the VIP systems, deposit bonuses and exclusive cash races! We are going to use the results of the races that ended yesterday as one of the factors in our recommendations.

Betfair is running a $2,500 exclusive cash race between April 1 - 15 with a $650 first place prize, and according to the latest update of the second March race, players can expect an average raceback of 43%, and we see no reason why the returns would fall in April. Players registered through Rakerace.com are also eligible for the 200% max €1,500 first deposit bonus and can achieve further returns with the VIP system and the central promotions.

Mybet is also running two 15 day races, each with a $2,500 prizepool and a $600 first place prize. In the race that ended yesterday, players could expect an average raceback of 70%, which they could increase further with the help of the 200% max $1,000 first deposit bonus and the Mybet Poker VIP program!

Winner Poker is running two 15-day $1,500 exclusive cash races in April, each with a $500 first place prize. According to the latest update of the second March race, players can expect an average raceback of 65%, and by taking advantage of the 250% max $2,000 first deposit bonus and the Winner Poker VIP system, even higher returns can easily be achieved.

Boyle Poker is running a $1,500 exclusive cash race between April 1 - 15, the first place prize is also $500, and the expected raceback returns are high aswell, coming in at 81% as of the latest update. Players who take advantage of the 200% max $1,000 first deposit bonus and the Boyle VIP system could achieve total returns of up to 140%!

PaddyPower Poker is the only smaller room in the iPoker network which is still using the old rake system for rake calculation, and the room is paying out a total of $5,000 in two 15-day races. According to the latest update, players can expect an average raceback of 73%, which can be further increased by taking advantage of the PaddyPower Poker VIP system and the 100% max $500 first deposit bonus.

Big iPoker races

After taking a look at the smaller rooms in the iPoker network, it's time to look at the bigger races that Everest Poker and Gala Poker have to offer. If you are looking for a race with more paying spots and a bigger first place prize, these two rooms are ideal choices.

Everest Poker is paying out a total of $15,000 in three 10-day races, each race has 75 paying spots and a $1,000 first place prize. Players of the latest March race can expect an average raceback of 22% and players can increase their returns with the help of the Everest Poker VIP program and the 200% max €1,500 first deposit bonus.

The paying spots in the Everest Poker race could be reached with just €1 in rake, so the room is ideal for players who don't have a lot of time to play.

Besides Everest Poker, Gala Poker is the room who pays out the most in April, they are running two exclusive $10,000 cash races, each with a $2200 first place prize.

Players who participated in the latest March race can expect an average raceback of 35%, but there are other promotions aswell, including a 200% max €1350 first deposit bonus, which equals a 10% cashback, as well as the Gala Poker VIP program, which provides additional returns of up to 36%!

TigerGaming on Rakerace.com

Last but not least we would like to bring Rakerace.com's new partner room, TigerGaming to your attention!

TigerGaming is a member of the Chico network, and is popular amongst players because of the quick withdrawal times and the weak player pool. At TigerGaming both cash game and SNG players can find enough action and can also achieve massive returns with the help of the Rakerace.com exclusive cash races, the TigerGaming VIP system and the first deposit bonus!

TigerGaming is running two exclusive $1,500 cash races for players registered through Rakerace.com, players can battle for a $500 first place prize in each race.

You can read more about TigerGaming, the April race and other promotions in this article.

Whether you choose the high returns of the smaller iPoker rooms, the massive prizepools of Everest Poker and Gala Poker or the weak player pool of TigerGaming, playing in Rakerace.com rooms in April is a vastly +EV decision!

Keep in mind that to take part in one of the races you have to register to the sites through Rakerace.com. If you are interested in doing so, just click on the room of your choice on the right side of the page, where a step-by-step guide will help you with your registration.

As of the latest update, players can expect an average raceback of 75%, and the 15 paying spots on the leaderboard could be reached with just $20 in rake. We see no reason why the raceback percentage would drop in the second half of the month, so joining the exclusive Mybet $2,500 cash race which runs from tomorrow will definitely be a profitable decision, especially if we take into account the various promotions that the room has to offer.

Players registered through Rakerace.com are eligible for the 200% up to $1,000 bonus (which equals a 15% cashback) and can enjoy the benefits of the MyBet Poker VIP Program for additional returns.

As of the latest update in the first race, players can expect an average raceback of 66% and the 10th place on the leaderboard, which pays out $25, can be reached with just €6 in rake! Due to the low number of players in the race, the 1x2sports race is a great opportunity for players who don't have a lot of time to play to earn some great returns!

Oh man, I have to say that source-based iPoker races are addictive

The player who's leading the Boyle race as of April 26 (with an estimated raceback of 140%) has swiftly jumped 11 positions up, most probably because of losing a few hundred over the weekend (having never shown an ability to generate a lot of 'old-style' rake prior, judging by the leaderboard archive). It clearly shows that everyone has a chance to win even if they don't play a ton.

That lead won't last long, though, as I'm going gamble in €20-50 superturbos and PLO100 for the last 3 days of the month and thus have a high chance of generating hundreds of SBR really fast because variance is big there (If I don't generate a lot, I'll be still glad because that will happen only if cards fall my way. It's a win-win situation.)

The SBR scoring system is beneficial even to winning players who're just starting out at an iPoker skin because if they go on a downswing early, a high percentage of their lost money will return to them due to them placing higher on the race leaderboard, thus the risk of ruin gets reduced and they can afford to play one stake higher than on other networks

The SBR calculation is actually much more complicated than that. You won't show up with several hundred euros of rake just because you lost several thousand.

A new account will almost always show 50% of the weighted contributed rake, regardless of win/loss because your money needs to circulate in iPoker's system in order to generate SBR rake. Naturally, players who lose money will have much more circulating, so over time, they will develop bigger numbers, but it is a slow process, it is only worth talking in months' times, one or two days won't make a difference.

SBR races have their advantages and disadvantages, but if you prefer playing straight-up, you have options in the Everest, Gala and Paddy races, which all use weighted contributed rake.

According to the latest update players can expect an average raceback of 31% and players registered through Rakerace.com can achieve additional returns of up to 48% with the room's VIP system, and are also eligible for the 200% max €1,500 first deposit bonus.

Betfair room review and registration

In this weeks race review we are going to take a look at the races that performed the best in the first half of the month and use this information to determine the best value races for the second half of the month!

As usual, most of the exclusive races are hosted by the iPoker network. Players registered through Rakerace.com are, in addition to the raceback, eligible for first deposit bonuses and returns from the various VIP systems, increasing the total returns even more.

You can read about the various deposit bonuses and VIP systems at the room review pages.

PaddyPower Poker is running two $2,500 exclusive cash races in June with a $600 first place prize, in the first race players received an average raceback of 67% and the paying spots on the leaderboard could be reached with just $12 in rake, so even players who only sat down to play when the weather was bad could easily make some great returns! You can expect high returns in the second half of the month aswell, players could achieve returns of up to 136%!

Boyle Poker is running a $1,000 exclusive race in the second half of the month, in the race that ran between June 1 - 15 players received an average raceback of 71%, which could be increased to up to 130% with the help of the deposit bonus and the VIP program.

Mybet is running two $1,500 exclusive cash races in June, in the first race players received an average raceback of 61%, which could be more than doubled to 126% with the help of the Mybet VIP system and the first deposit bonus.

In case you are the type of player who has a hard time bearing the hot summer months, you should head to the snowy peaks of Everest Poker, where $15,000 is distributed in June, and returns of up to 100% can be achieved!

Betfair is also running two $2,500 exclusive cash races in June, players received an average raceback of 30%, and with the help of the first deposit bonus (which equals a 20% return) and the Betfair VIP system, returns of up to 84% can be achieved!

Intertops Poker is organizing two $2,000 exclusive cash races in June, in the first race players received an average raceback of 34%. The paying spots on the leaderboard could be reached with just $16 in rake, so the Intertops race is a great choice for players who only want to sit down to play during the rainy days of the summer.

Unibet Poker is running two €1,500 exclusive cash races in June, players received an average raceback of 14% which could be increased to up to 88% with the deposit bonus and the Unibet loyalty program.

TigerGaming is running two $1,500 exclusive cash races in June, in the first race players received an average raceback of 29% and returns of up to 84% could be achieved. TigerGaming is a room in the Chico network and the skill of the player pool on the site reminds players of the ''golden years'' of poker, you can easily build a bankroll for the summer festival season!

Keep in mind that to take part in one of the races you have to register to the sites through Rakerace.com. If you are interested in doing so, just click on the room of your choice on the right side of the page, where a step-by-step guide will help you with your registration.

If you feel that our advised rooms don't suit your needs, you can always check out our Rake Races page to take a look at all the other great available offers, or you can check out the poker room reviews on the right side of the page, where you can get to know the different softwares and companies a bit better before.

Roughly 3 weeks ago I decided to choose an exclusive race because I needed to make some extra money for my vacation. After doing a little bit of research I eventually decided to register to Betfair.

In the first couple of days I didn't get much going but after that I ran pretty well and with the help of the raceback returns and the first deposit bonus I was able to make a decent profit. Unfortunately I didn't win the drone in the exclusive tournament, but I'm not a tournament player so I didn't have big expectations anyway.

After I returned from my awesome vacation...


...I decided to keep the ball rolling and choose another exclusive race, this is what I found.

Most of the exclusive cash races run on the iPoker network. Since I grew fond of the software and I still have a small part of my deposit bonus to clear, I decided to leave a small part of my bankroll on Betfair in case there is not much action in the other room. Betfair is running two exclusive races identical to the one I participated in last month ($2,500 prize pool, 15 paying spots, $650 first place prize) and I think I can achieve at least 60% returns with the raceback and the VIP system.

Gala Poker is once again running a massive $10,000 exclusive race, but I think that room is better suited for players who rake a lot, although the top 10 is achievable for lower volume players aswell. The 36% cashback is great value to smaller players aswell, but right now I want to focus on improving my game and not on grinding a lot. Maybe in a couple of months, when I have a bigger bankroll, I can come back and really battle with the "big boys" for the $2,200 first place prize!

Exclusive races in July

I really liked PaddyPower Poker last month, their first deposit bonus is great and the race returns look pretty high aswell, 44% as of the latest update! There is also a good VIP system that provides extra value and there are no huge volume players which is something that I really like.

There are also two great value races on Everest Poker ($5,000 prizepool) and one on MyBet ($1,500 prizepool) in the iPoker network.

Everest Poker is a great choice for both low volume players as well as serious grinders, there are a total of 75 payings spots on the race leaderboard which can be easily achieved and the first place prize is a whopping $1,000!

A friend of mine who is a ''cash race veteran'' told me that the level of play on the smaller networks is much worse, so I decided to check out a couple of these rooms also.

As I mentioned, Gala Poker offers a 36% cashback and a great race, but the big grinders in the room make it less appealing for a player like me, however, I found a great alternative, Intertops Poker, which is a room in a smaller network.

They also offer a 36% rakeback and the top 3/top 5 paying spots can be reached much more easily in the $2,000 exclusive race and the first deposit bonus gives an additional 21% return for total returns of more than 90%.

TigerGaming also has a great first deposit bonus that gives a 55% return and they are also running a $3,000 exclusive race. I heard that the players in the room are very weak so grinding out a profit should be pretty easy even without the race and bonus returns.

Unibet is also running a €1,500 exclusive race, which should be pretty juicy! Unibet recently bought the online section of the UK gambling company Stan James, which offers sports betting, casino games, poker and more. It's pretty likely that the Stan James poker room will leave the Microgaming Poker Network and transfer it's players to the Unibet client and that will most likely lead to various poker promotions and increased traffic on the site.

Most of the races I examined start today, but you have a great chance for good returns even if you join a couple of days later, so take your time and choose the race that suits you the best!

The Rakerace.com support guys are happy to help with any questions you might have, be sure to contact them if you are not sure about your decision!

Good luck to all of you, I'm gonna end my review now, it's time to get down on the grind!

Hi guys,

please find below the best value races for August 2015:

Intertops is a popular room in the Revolution network that regularly runs exclusive rake races for Rakerace.com players and in August they decided to bump up the race prize pools from $4,000 to $5,000! The exclusive race is also available through our new partner room, JuicyStakes!

Rakerace.com regularly organizes exclusive rake races on Intertops, which is one of the most popular rooms in the Revolution network. In the past few months players could compete in two $2,000 exclusive rake races each month, and in August Rakerace.com is increasing the prize pools to 2x$2,500, which is the best offer on the network!


Only players registered through Rakerace.com are eligible for participation, but don't worry if you have registered through another room, as the exclusive races are also available through our new partner room, JuicyStakes.

Like Intertops, JuicyStakes is also a reliable room in the Revolution network, both rooms have a seperate cashier system from Revolution, which means player funds are completely safe and there are no withdrawal delays that some other Revolution rooms struggle with.

In addition to the 2x$2,500 exclusive races there are of course plenty of additional promotions in both rooms. They both offer a 200% maximum $1,000 first deposit bonus (which provides a return of roughly 21%) and Rakerace.com players are also eligible for the 36% exclusive rakeback.

The exclusive rake race, the first deposit bonus and the 36% rakeback make JuicyStakes and Intertops some of the best rooms for grinding in August, with further rake race prize pool increases expected in September!

Register now and build your bankroll with the best offer in the Revolution network!

Hi.
Why does it say 2x 2500€ in the Betsson Group rake race? The race starts at August 20th right?
And if I may ask, is this going to be a long term race? Will we see another same race in the next 2-3 months?
Looking forward to it!

We are hosting 2 separate rake races in the Betsson Group between August 20th and September 20th.

€2,500 Exclusive Betsson Group race - 20 August - 5 September 2015
€2,500 Exclusive Betsson Group race - 4 - 20 September 2015

Unfortunately it is not possible yet to look further ahead, but naturally it is in our best interest to keep the race up as long as possible.
