Besides actually winning money at the poker table there are a number of other ways to profit from online poker. We cover poker strategy in numerous articles on The Pokerkeep so here we'll discuss other money making options such as rakeback and deposit bonuses. Rakeback Rake is the fee we all pay to the house for the privelege of playing at their tables. this fee is raked by the hand in cash games as a percentage of the pot. In tournaments, rake is charged as an entry fee, usually 10% of the buy-in. The good news is that there are actually poker rooms willing to give back some of the rake as an incentive for their players to stay and play.  Action Poker and Sun Poker are two such poker sites. Poker rooms on the Action Poker Network offer 35% rakeback. Tiger Gaming and Poker In Canada are part of the Action network as well Sun Poker offers 30% to 50% rakeback and some very nice incentives including a $10,000 new player freeroll. Sign up Bonuses New player sign up bonuses are very lucrative. Each poker site has it's own unique bonus offer so doing your homework is essential to finding the best deal for you. Reading our Poker Room Reiews will help greatly in this respect. This is free money and is usually paid out as you earn player points or play a certain number of raked hands. Read the terms and conditions carefully though, some bonus offers are much easier to clear than others. There are some outstanding deals available at sites such as Tower Gaming where you can earn dual bonuses simultaneously. Action Poker Network has a decent bonus of 100% up to an incredible $2500. Most poker rooms offer a 100% sign up bonus but on occasion we find sites like Canbet Poker willing to offer as much as 200%. Poker.com, Carbon Poker and Full Tilt are three other sites with great bonuses which are fairly easy to clear. VC Poker is currently offering 300% to new players up to a maximum of $600. Redeposit Bonuses Many poker rooms offer redeposit bonuses similar to their original deposit bonus. This is a great marketing tool as it creates player loyalty. Be sure to look at all your options when deciding on a new poker room. Satellites and Freerolls Many sites offer tickets to "new player freerolls" or satellite tournaments when you join or make your first deposit. Carbon Poker is one of the leaders in this type of promotion. For more information take a look at our Poker Room Reviews page for complete reviews of the best online poker rooms.
