Not sure how much but its alot.I dont know if anyone here uses rakeback at any off the site you play in but pit bull poker gives rake back % are different they give back.Depends on how many hands you play they call it bounce back cash.I collected $7 for one day off playing off rake back cash and that was only 20% off the rake they keep the other 80%.So they made $28 off me playing there that day And that is just me and not everyone claims there rake back.That just an Idea off what they make off one person.Full tilt is a much bigger site so imagine what they make off the rake alone plus then there is the buy in tornnnys that they get cash from.

poker sites make there money the same way live poker rooms make their money.
Its called the rake(not to sound like a sa or anything).but they take a percentage of every pot played in a ring game,and most tourneys charge a fee as well. i.e. 50.00 tourney usually cost 55.00 total.
50.00 to the pot and 5.00 to the site.
hope this helps.
