Rakeback Calculator

Rakeback is the only real discount in a casino

A match bonus comes with wagering requirements that usually cost more than the bonus is worth. Rakeback does not: it returns a slice of the house edge you generate, normally as withdrawable cash, with no turnover attached.

It cannot make roulette profitable — a 15% rakeback on a 2.70% game leaves you facing an effective 2.30% edge — but it is a genuine reduction, and it applies to every spin rather than to a one-off deposit.

Check what the percentage is applied to

This is where operators differ most. Most calculate rakeback on the theoretical house edge your wagering generates. A few calculate it on turnover, which is vastly more generous and usually comes with a much smaller percentage. The toggle in this calculator lets you compare the two — the difference is often 10x.

A worked example

$10 a spin, 50 spins an hour, 20 hours a month is $10,000 of monthly turnover. On a European wheel that generates $270 of theoretical house edge. Fifteen per cent rakeback on that basis returns $40.50 a month and lowers your effective edge from 2.70% to about 2.30%.

On the rarer turnover basis, 15% of $10,000 would be $1,500 — which is why operators who calculate on turnover quote percentages like 0.5%, not 15%. Always check which basis an offer uses before comparing two rates.

Rakeback versus a match bonus, side by side

For a roulette-first player the left column wins almost every time, which is why our promo code table is ordered the way it is.
