Stars FPP is a kind of rackback but in general when people refer to rakeback they mean specific sites you sign up at and then download a poker client through there site in return they pay u 15-50%(depending on site and affiliate) of all rake you pay.

Stars does not have that kind of rakeback but FTP does and so do serveral other sites.
You usualy cant get rakeback on a existing acount but there are exceptions if u didnt sign up with a affiliate when you originaly signed up for example.
I would link you to some rakeback sites but CC kinda frowns upon it so just google rakeback.

Rakeback is a refund to the players. Poker players receive a percentage of the rake they pay to the poker room. A normal rakeback offer is between 25 and 40 percent, but sometimes players can get an even better offer. If you receive 35% rakeback, and rake $1000 one month, you will get $350 back. The more you rake, the more you get back. That is basically what rakeback is about.

This link may be informative. It's to a practically endless discussion (hence the thread name, I suppose) regarding those with existing accounts and their efforts to add rakeback.

There is only one person in that entire thread who cannot get RB.

FT say his account is linked to an affilliate.

He dosent believe them.

Everyone else did get RB in the end, it just takes a few weeks.

If you are linked to an affiliate you cant get it. End of story. Accept it. Move on with your life. Back away form the abusive emails etc etc.

If you are not linked to an affiliate they will let you switch but not instantly, you have to wait a bit.

Don't confuse rakeback with a bonus. Rakeback is earned with every pot paid in cash games or from a tourney buy in. A bonus is from point accumulation. PS doesn't offer rakeback, just so you know.
