Final Thoughts
Final Thoughts888 poker rakeback is aimed more at professionals than recreational players. In order to get a solid refund, you need to spend a lot of time and money on the game. Therefore, it will be the most profitable one for players who actively play in the lobby.
Thanks to the attractive loyalty program of the room, a poker player can partially return the rake and reduce the cost of paying the commission for participating in the games. It should be clarified that this so-called cashback is not the highest one among other sites. But this is easily compensated by the weakness of the field and high-quality modern software in the poker room.
