How important you think rakeback is for a winning player? Like what % of average winnings come from rake back.. I would appreciate your personal results as well. Thank you ☺

Edit: Im playing on partypoker (sth like 30% rakeback) and considering moving to ipoker coz i consider it more fishy as ipoker network includes so many cazinos and betting sites but the only ipoker provider in my country offers 0% rakeback

I edit my post with more infos

For a more correct answer it will not be superfluous to indicate what you are playing? Cash? Tournaments (SnG or MTT)? And limits

There is no easy answer for this. ignition is worlds easier than say ACR. ACR offers rakeback, but there are no casual players, where as Ignition actually has a casual crowd making win rates way higher on ignition.

Rake back isn't as important as winning. No bonus, rake back, status points, ect... are going to make up for losing a big pot or 2 at 25nl. You are going to end up way ahead playing a site that makes the win rates higher.

I've never met a winning player that said I would have a positive ROI but the rake killed me.

Unfortunately the rooms that I play do not pay cash rakeback like many others (PS and 888poker) only advantages in their clubs
Partypoker is now accepting Brazilians again
when I win some freerolls here at the CC partypoker
I will start to go there to see how this rakeback works there

While it's true that a straight up bad player won't be saved by rakeback, back in the good old days there were plenty of players who would have basically been break even but made a solid profit from getting rakeback and putting in big volume.

So yes, being a winning player is important and is always the goal. But if you're lucky enough to be able to get rakeback definitely take it.

Rakeback, like no deposit bonuses, for the first deposit, reloads, freerolls, VIP statuses in clubs is a very important aspect, and no matter the winning player or not. The thing is that it gives you an additional profit - but that does not mean that after increasing the bankroll due to these moments, you can go to a higher limit if you have not played it there yet !!! Use this amount either to increase the strength of your bankroll (by increasing the number of buyins), or the best advice is to withdraw these funds and enjoy spending it at your discretion !!! I can not give any specific figures for cash - unfortunately, since I play tournaments. For tournaments, rakeback in 30% and rake in 10% gives an additional ROI of 3% - that at the distance, believe very much !!! But in each room offers different conditions. In Ipoker , there is always enough promotion, which can give you an extra profit, which will be much higher than 30% rakeback from the rooms in which there is no promotion! Given the limits you play, direct rakeback would be more preferable for you, since you probably will not be able to have a sufficiently high level in a VIP club in poker rooms, but ... !!! - as I already mentioned - take into account all the offers of the room: promotion, VIP-system, freerolls, promotions, rakeback and only then much will become clear. But remember, this gives only the small part, if you are a good player from the profit that you get for an excellent game. Concentrate your attention on the level of your game, but do not ignore the money that you can get for free!

You have 3 different kinds of rakeback that poker rooms offer:

1. VIP system: Rakeback based on the volume you are making (or have made), this could be either given to you in money or in tickets for tournaments or merchandise or anything...

2. Flat Rakeback: System where you get a certain percentage rakeback, independent of the volume you play on the site. Best site I know is giving a 50% flat rakeback.

3. Rakeback given to you in tournament tickets, or cash game tickets etc, also depending on the amount/volume you play on the site...
