Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What does "7x raked hands" mean?
A: This means you need to play 7 times your bonus amount in raked hands in order to get your bonus. Example: If get a $20 bonus, you must play 140 raked hands before your bonus is released into your account.

Q: What does "20x wager amount" mean?
A: This means you need to put into the pot 20 times the total amount of your bonus in order to get your bonus. If you have a bonus of $50, this means you need to put $1000 worth of bets/raises/calls into the pot. This a bigger number than it appears however, as in a $2/4 game, you will probably be putting over $120/hr into a pot this way.

Q: What is "prop playing"?
A: "Props" or "shills" are players that are paid to play at a site to increase traffic or get a table started. Prop players are generally better players and should know how to play short-handed.

Q: What is "rake back"?
A: Rake back is being refunded a portion of your rake from a poker affiliate, like myself (MJ). The poker sites generate rake from their players and pay their affiliates a portion of the rake for each player that affiliate sends to the site. Cake Poker Rakeback offer gives 33% Rakeback. When allowed, that affiliate may then choose to give some or all of that rake back to the player as part of a rake-back agreement.
