Rakeback and winrate
 

Having seen the below statement in a previous post i was confused at what rakeback and the term winrate actually means? Could someone please explain these terms (rakeback and winrate) to me.

Re: Rakeback and winrate
 

rakeback is a way of earning back some of the rake you pay to the site by using an affiliate to the site. (see banners to the right of this page) eg 27% rakeback at fulltilt. you get 27% of the total rake you pay to the site.

winrate is the amount you are making/losing through playing outside of the rakeback. Usually measured in bb/100 or bb/hour

Re: Rakeback and winrate
 

Rakeback is when the site gives you a portion of the money they take from you in rake, usually through a third party affiliate. This practice started out as an incentive for the affiliates to recruit new players, thereby doing the site's marketing for them.

Winrate is profit expressed as a unit per time or per hand (e.g. $/hr, big blinds/hr, or the most common one, BB/100 hands).
