What is rakeback at a crypto casino?
Rakeback is a percentage of the house edge (the casino’s built-in margin on your bets) that is returned to you, win or lose. A 10% rakeback means you get back 10% of the casino’s theoretical profit on your play.
Unlike a bonus, rakeback is usually paid in real, withdrawable funds with little or no wagering attached, and it accrues continuously as you play. It is most common at crypto casinos and rewards volume rather than luck: it softens losing streaks instead of betting on a win.
Rakeback can be flat (e.g. always 10%) or tiered by VIP level, climbing as you play more. For regular players it is one of the most valuable long-term perks because it pays out reliably regardless of results.

FAQ
Is rakeback the same as a bonus?
No. A bonus is a one-off incentive with wagering requirements; rakeback is an ongoing, usually low-wagering return on the house edge of every bet you make.
Is 10% rakeback good?
Yes: 10% flat rakeback is generous. Many casinos start lower and only reach double digits at higher VIP tiers.
