Online Poker has become truly massive over the last couple of years and at last we are starting to see lots of nice free offers to players who are both veterans and new to the scene.
Most Poker sites require certain Rakeback requirements to be met before any withdrawals can be made, so you will need to play quite a few hands in order to meet these requirements.
Rakeback is a fairly simple concept, for each hand played the dealer is given a cut (or rake) of the buy-in cost of the hand, for example this may be 10%, so if the buy-in cost is £1.00, you will need to pay £1.10 with 10p going to the dealer in the form of a rake.
Most poker rooms will require you to make a certain amount of raked hands before making a withdrawal on your free money, and will often give you additional free poker chips if you meet the rake requirements.
Despite sounding fairly high, a rake requirment of 100 hands is suprisingly simple to meet and only requires a handful of well played games to build up a bankroll large enough to meet the requirements.
