RakebackFTW

RakebackFTW is certainly one of the larger rakeback affiliates with over 10,000 accounts to their name so they are definately doing something right. They are also part of a much larger network of affiliates allowing them to provide some good rake races although only at a limited number of rooms those being Full Tilt, Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker. They do run a particuarly interesting promotion though:-

"Currently, We provide rakeback to more than 10000 customers, with the guaranteed highest rakeback %s offered anywhere on the internet. Find a better deal anywhere else and we'll credit $50 to your Rakebackftw account. Our deals simply cannot be bettered!" - RakebackFTW

We find that sentence rather ambiguous as it's not clear if they are claiming the highest rakeback percentages or claiming their deals cannot be bettered which are two different things and thus could prove to be a source of complaint in the future. We certainly agree they match the rakeback percentages offered by every other affiliate and therefore the highest however this site wouldn't be doing a very good job if you couldn't quite easily find a better overall deal at alot of the rooms they promote.

Having said that, RakebackFTW certainly have their positives unlike most rakeback sites they do offer more than just the deals and the rakeback tracking system to make a return visit to their site. Their strategy and news articles certainly offer value to the reader if you take your time to read through them. The areas in which they excel is their rakeback tracking and rake payout system as well as in their customer support, these are two areas in which they are certainly near the top of the bunch. They certainly make no effort to hide from your questions with support buttons in numerous visible places on their website. They use a ticket system which is very organised and will usually get you a response to your question within a couple of hours.

Rakeback Tracking and Payout System

Their rakeback tracking system is very efficient offering a great deal of detail in a simplistic format breaking down your rake stats on a daily basis as well as showing any deductions you might have for bonuses. You can also view previous cashouts and your earnings from previous months overall a very good system.

RakebackFTW also have a very good payment system offering a number of cashout options and methods. You can withdraw your rakeback payments via moneybookers in either USD or EUR, Neteller or direct to your poker account at Full Tilt Poker, Ultimate Bet or PokerStars. On top of this they operate a cashout on demand service so you can receive your rakeback on a daily basis as long as you meet the minimum cashout amount, usually $50. It will usually take up to 24 hours to process your cashout.

Referral Program

RakebackFTW's Referral Program is certainly not the best. They do follow the standard practice of giving you a commission percentage for every new player you refer to them, for the life of the player as well as giving commission for any additional rooms that your players sign up for. However you receive a rather low flat rate of 2% as well as no multi-tier system if your referred players happen to refer some of their friends. This pretty much puts them close to the bottom of the pile when it comes to the payouts of their referral program.
