30% Paradise Poker Rakeback

Paradise Poker Rakeback Review

Paradise Poker is a well-established room on the Boss Media Network. RakeTracker members who sign-up will receive 30% Paradise Poker Rakeback. Players will receive rakeback when playing ring games as well as for all Multi Table and Sit N Gos tournaments. Rakeback at Paradise Poker is calculated using the weighted contributed method, which allocates your rake based on the amount that you contribute to the pot.

Rakeback is paid directly to your Paradise Poker account, by Paradise Poker, on the 5th of the month for all rakeback accumulated in the previous month. Nothing is deducted from Paradise Poker rakeback except for spending FPPs. This means that players clearing the 200% up to €1,000 sign-up bonus will earn the equivalent of 50% rakeback when clearing both together.

One exception is FPP points that are used towards FPP freerolls. When they are used they will be deducted from a player’s MGR. You are allowed to have up to 4 accounts on the Boss Media Network. To be paid rakeback for a given month, players must generate €100 in rake during a month. This is a Boss Media network wide policy. Players from the U.S., Italy and France are not accepted.

Do not use Paradise Poker Refer a Friend program when you sign up as it will prevent you from receiving rakeback.

Paradise Poker Summary:

Paradise Poker was one of the first big online poker rooms when they burst on the scene way back in the late 90s as a standalone room. In early 2007, they joined the Boss Network. While they don't quite garner the excitement they did when they had their own platform, they are still a name you can trust. The site’s parent company, Sportingbet, is a publicly traded company in London.

Players can download the Windows-based software or use the instant play option to play on a Mac or a PC in their interet browser. Cash games on Paradise Poker come in euro, dollars or pounds, with a wide variety of games and limits available, especially at No Limit Hold'em. The weekly €50,000 guaranteed and Headhunter tournaments are favorites amongst tournament players.

In addition to 30% rakeback, Paradise Poker offers a 200% up to €1000 sign-up bonus. Players can also participate in Paradise Poker's in-house VIP program, where players can participate in FPP tournaments and loyalty tournaments. A progressive Bad Beat Jackpot also awards tens of thousands of dollars for players lucky enough to lose with Quad Tens.

Games

Cash games at Paradise Poker are offered in dollars, euros and pounds, with most players seemingly gravitating towards the dollar and euro tables. Cash game tables are available in 2, 5, 6, or 10 seats at most games. Boss Media, the network home of Paradise Poker, offers progressive Bad Beat Jackpot tables at No Limit at limits of 0.50/1.00 to 5/10 and 1/2 to 10/20 at Limit Hold’em. The prize pool of the Bad Beat Jackpot can frequently be seen reaching the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Hold’em games offered at Paradise Poker include No Limit, Pot Limit and Fixed Limit. Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo is offered in Fixed Limit and Pot Limit. For Stud tables, players can find tables available for 5 Card, 7 Card and also Soko. Various versions of Draw Poker are even offered at Paradise Poker.

Stake levels for most games range from 0.02/0.04 to up 1000/2000. However, the majority of the action will be found at No Limit Hold’em games up to 5/10. Action at the Limit Hold’em games can also be found up to 5/10. The game availability at limits above 5/10 for No Limit Hold’em and Fixed Limit will be much more sporadic. If you’re an Omaha player, you should be able to find games up to 1/2 at PL Omaha. Tables at PL Omaha Hi/Lo also run but activity is a bit light. Availability at all other games is very much hit-or-miss.

Like most sites, Paradise Poker offers unique tables beyond the standard. At Paradise Poker, the most popular alternatives are Turbo, 50 BB and Deep Stack tables. Players will have 10 seconds to act on a Turbo table, which is down from 30 seconds at standard tables. Deep Stack tables will require players to sit down with at least 100 big blinds. A 1/2 table, for example, would require a minimum buy-in of $200. At 50 BB tables, players will not be able to sit down with less than 50 big blinds. Lastly, players can participate in “STR” tables – can be identified by the name of the table in the lobby – and be given the option to straddle the blinds.

Multi-Table Tournaments

Paradise Poker is home to over €2 million in guaranteed No Limit Hold’em tournaments every month. They offer many throughout the day with a €50,000 guaranteed held on Sundays at 1 PM ET/17:00 GMT being the most popular. To enter this tournament, players must buy-in for €50+€5 or qualify through smaller buy-in satellites, including Sit N Go tournaments.

Another popular draw is the €50,000 Headhunter tournament, held on the first Sunday of the month at 1 PM ET/17:00 GMT. In this tournament, Paradise Poker will award 80% of the total prize pool as the regular prize pool and 20% to the Headhunters who knock out other players. Paradise Poker also runs a €5k guaranteed Headhunter tournament each Sunday with 25% of the prize pool being award to the Headhunters and the remaining 75% to the prize pool.

Don’t have enough bankroll to buy-in to the large live events? Paradise Poker offers satellites to popular live events across the world including the English Open and World Series of Poker, to name a few. Players can qualify for the WSOP held in Las Vegas through daily satellites with buy-ins as low as €8+€0

If you like your multi-table tournaments to be a bit different than the norm, note that they offer tournaments in the following formats: rebuy and add-ons, Deep Stacks, Turbos, and satellites to popular online tournaments at Paradise Poker. Paradise Poker also offers limited multi-table tournaments for Pot Limit Omaha, PL Omaha Hi/Lo and 5 Card Draw. The participation in these tournaments is light, however.

SNGs

No Limit Hold’em Sit N Gos at Paradise Poker are available in the euro currency. Tables for the Paradise Poker Sit N Gos are available with 5, 10, 20, 30 or 50 seats. SNGs up to 30 seats can be found at buy-in levels up to €10+€1. Paradise Poker offers SNGs with buy-ins up to €10000+€500, but very little action is available above €100+€9. The micro buy-in contests start as low as €1+€0.10.

Sit N Gos at Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit Hold'em, Pot Limit Omaha, Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo and Stud games are also offered, but only sporadic action at Limit Hold’em and PL Omaha Hi/Lo can be seen with most other games running very infrequently.

Non-standard SNGs offered at Paradise Poker come in the following varieties: Turbo, Speed and Winner Take All. Paradise Poker also offers 10-man single table tournaments that pay the top four players instead of the top 3. In Turbo SNGs, the blinds will go up every 3 minutes and in Speed SNGs they will go up every 5 minutes. The blind levels in standard SNGs will go up every 8 minutes.

Other popular SNGs include satellites to the Boss Media Network’s €50,000 guaranteed, which is held each Sunday at 17:00 GMT/1 PM ET. SNG satellites to this event are held around the clock with buy-ins up to €11+€1.

The rake chart above represents all currencies.

Example: At a $1/$2 fixed limit Hold'em game with 6 players seated and dealt cards, $0.25 in rake would be taken for each $5 in the pot up to a total of $1.50 in rake. Once the pot reaches $30, no further rake is taken. "5%" represents the % of the pot that is raked from the table at the time the rake is taken. Because many pots do not end up being raked (i.e. if no flop is seen) or if the pot is in between rake levels, effective rake levels are lower.

VIP Club

The VIP Program at Paradise Poker is mostly negated by rakeback provided by Paradise Poker. However, rakeback players may still qualify for VIP freerolls, events and tournaments. Players will be contacted directly by the VIP team.

Bad Beat Jackpot (network promotion)

The Boss Media Network offers Bad Beat Jackpot tables at NL Hold'em tables of 0.50/1.00 to 5/10 and Limit Hold'em at 1/2 to 10/20. You will qualify for the Bad Beat if you lose with Quad Tens when four or more players have been dealt into the hand. Both pocket cards must be used and the hand must go to a showdown. A Bad Beat Jackpot rake is taken once during the hand if the hand is raked.
