Cake Poker Rakeback Details

Rakeback payments are normally paid within the first few days for each month using the dealt method of rake calculation, which means for each pot that is raked players will earn 33% rakeback of the pot divided by the amount of players that were dealt hole cards for each hand. Cake Poker has built in rakeback statistics which allows players to see how much they’ve earned in rakeback for the current month. All players need to click is “my account” tab within the lobby and then click the stats button. From there players can view all neccesary information about their personal rakeback payment.s

This bonus is paid in $10 increments, and players have 90 days to clear as much bonus as possible. Please note that the deposit bonus is deducted from rakeback payments. Deposit fees, Gold Card Lottery Awards, Gold Card 500 Winning’s and Cake Shop orders are also deducted from rakeback payments.

New depositing players also get a free seat into a Saturday $500 new player freeroll.

Cake Poker Graphics & Software

The lobby and table graphics at Cake Poker are very nice. The lobby is simple to use, and has plenty of filters to help players sift through the various game options. The tables use photos of actual people, and the feel is semi-3D. Buttons are big, easy to read, and put in the right places.

Table sound effects leave something to be desired, as they’re a bit clunky. If you don’t like the sounds, there is the option to hear only a simple ‘ding’ when it’s your turn, or they can be turned off entirely.

The software gets good marks for multi-tabling. Players can open and play on as many tables as they can handle. While some players still complain about the occasional disconnect, for the most part, the software works very well. The hand history function is very nice, one of the best we’ve seen. Note-taking abilities are available as well.
