Ongame Rakeback

[Running Like God]

OK folks, I need some advice. I'm currently on Eurobet (OnGame), and my rakeback should be 40%. Unfortunately, the MGR that shows on my rakeback provider is currently showing half of the amount that HEM has calculated.

Now, I know (as I have been told by the RB provider) that HEM doesn't know how the rakeback is calculated through Essence, in fact it seems NOBODY does, but when I was at Full Tilt it was only a 0.0x% out, and not the 53% short that this month is showing. This basically gives me a RB of around 19%. I might as well go back to FTP. It's just a shame when there are so many muppets playing on Eurobet!

One of my reasons for moving to Eurobet was that I would be increasing my RB substantially, but I actually get less (HOW DOES THAT WORK?!?)!!! Is there a site that does deliver the RB in a way that HEM closely reflects, and that I would better off with?

btw - I know Eurobet don't advertise it that way, but you get my drift!

Also, has anyone got any feedback on Cake or Merge networks?

Thanks in advance!

The reason FTP was 0% off was because FTP used the dealt method when you played there. They don't anymore though, they use weighted contributed so you will run into the same problem there. Ongame's version of rake formula is unique and proprietary. They will not tell anyone how it works. All we really know is that the better the player you are the lower your MGR % will be. We mirror the reporting so it is exactly what is reported.

There are only 4 networks/sites left that use dealt like HEM. True Poker (very small), Poker Stars (not really rakeback), Cake Poker (tougher games but great promos, not sure HEM will work there well) and Fat Bet Poker (small network).

I have been playing a lot on Merge lately. They use weighted contributed though. Their promos aren't as good as Cake but their games a better. I would check out Carbon Poker if you have never played there. They pay daily rakeback directly to your account.

Well, I suppose I'll take that as a compliment LOL!!!

Thanks for the very clear and detailed reply. I really appreciate it. I think I will check Carbon out!

Thanks again

Great idea. I think that you have said is true. I will also try Carbon and check it out. We'll see what happens.
