/24-7PressRelease/ - MISSISSAUGA, ON, CANADA, February 26, 2006 - Poker has grown in popularity over the last few years, almost at an exponential rate. Hence, my editor at the local newspaper I work for, assigned me to do a story on its growth. The story I came up with was slightly different than either of us anticipated.
I felt where better to start but to log onto an online poker site and taste first hand what playing was like. I won a few hands, lost a few more and then someone at the table I was playing at asked me point blank 'are you on a rakeback service?' Not knowing what he was talking about nor how to respond and not wanting to sound ignorant, I said 'yes.' He then proceeded to ask 'which one?' I pretended not to understand and asked him 'which one are you on?' He responded 'www.rakesecret.com'. I continued to chit chat with him for a while and then decided to leave the table and find out what this site and rakeback more specifically was all about.
I already knew that online poker services made their money by collecting a small portion of every pot, this was commonly referred to as 'rake'. What I didn't know was that this site http://www.rakesecret.com was able to get you some of this rake back. In fact after contacting them via email, they contacted me back within an hour and informed me that they (www.rakesecret.com) could get me up to 35% of my online poker rakeback. Being the consummate cynic I wondered why and how they could do this. Apparently they paid out their clients on the first of every month and had over 600 clients. Since they had all these clients they were able to negotiate deals with some of the largest online poker sites and arrange to get their players a percentage of their rake back.
I asked them how I would be paid. They told me depending on the site I decided to join, they could make payments directly to my poker account, directly into my Neteller account or if I wanted via money order.
Wow, I felt like I had an advantage, even before I started. Unfortunately, I've been playing so much poker lately I haven't even finished my story yet and my editor is fuming with me.
