About Us - The Who, What, When, Where, Why & How of Professional Rakeback
Who We Are
We sincerely care about the poker community and it is our ultimate goal to help and inform poker players and regularly spread the news about poker as a fun and friendly game until the end of time. Our team of professional writers, contributors, and researchers dedicated to ProfessionalRakeback.com website already produced more than two million words for the website! In a nutshell, we eat, sleep and breathe poker and online gaming!
In the new age of the web, our employees can be found on Discus forums, Guilded chats, Telegram chats, WhatsApp groups, social media websites, and much more, integrating with and participating with the community. Being a part of the scene is how we stay on the cutting edge of the news cycle. It is also how we can find and warn our players and the rest of the poker community about scam sites, apps, and impending bankruptcies of shady poker rooms.
Our staff members have been to numerous industry conferences to meet operators face to face, scores of poker tournaments to meet clients face to face, and have traveled to the field offices of the advertisers and partner sites we work with in order to inspect their operations first-hand.
We consistently work passionately and diligently, seven days per week, to assist you. ProfessionalRakeback.com has always been owned and operated by professional poker players and advantage gamblers who earn their living using mathematics, statistics, good judgments, and shrewd negotiation to prevail.
Just like Las Vegas, the Internet never sleeps, and neither does the staff at Professional Rakeback. We are constantly on the search for new news stories, changes in government regulation, creating new poker and gambling guides, researching and reviewing new websites. Our team never stops working to provide quality content.
Get in touch and meet our expert gamblers, detailed researchers, and professional journalists who create all the great content you enjoy reading on our website. Jake Rake is the head poker writer at ProfessionalRakeback.com.
Our Mission
Customer Service is very important for us! We pay utmost attention to protecting the privacy of our clients at all times!
We routinely advise and consult with management of poker sites, online casinos, and sportsbooks to help them provide better experiences to their clients. We relay information ‘from the streets’ to upper management and let them know when they have problems that need addressing. They love us for it and it shows as they in turn provide all sorts of special and exclusive promotions to our clients as a means of saying ‘Thank You’ to us for going above and beyond our duties. We in turn take care of our clients and it is a virtuous cycle of win/win!
Professional Rakeback has warned its players and the community about poker and gambling sites that failed months in advance, saving those who acted upon our advice millions of dollars collectively and that is because we keep our ear to the ground and are involved in the community and industry in the deepest ways and on the highest levels.
We have amassed a large following of readers, clients, and friends over the years. Each month we help guide over 1,000 players to a new home for their gaming needs, and we do our very best to make sure they enjoy where they play.
If they don't we have failed at our jobs, and failure is not an option for our team!

Responsible Gambling
Playing with real cash to win more of it can be great fun and offer plenty of entertainment value, provided those who engage in this pastime can control what they are doing and recognize the danger signs of losing control. This ability to stay in control and see any danger coming is referred to as responsible gambling or responsible gaming - terms that are widely used by gambling operators and others offering gambling services in the industry.
But virtually all forms of gambling bring the risk of losing money alongside the chance of winning it. This loss could represent a small amount of cash or lots of it. So the way for people to try to avoid problem gambling issues is known as responsible gambling, and on this page, we are going to look at some of the tips and signs to watch for to identify a gambling problem, how to take steps to gamble responsibly, what stance the gaming operators and other service providers take, and where to go for information on getting help.
