Tower Gaming has always had a very player-focused mentality that gives back to their players. After moving from Ongame to Tower Gaming in 2011, that mentality has continued with the offering of 33% rakeback through RakeTracker. Please note that even though Tower Gaming is a Cake Network skin, they do not accept players from the U.S.
Players that sign-up to Tower Gaming through RakeTracker will receive 33% rakeback based on the dealt method, which attributes rake equally to all players who were dealt cards. As an example, if 10 players are dealt cards and the rake ends up being $1, each player will receive credit for $0.10 of the rake. Many tight and professional players prefer this method because they are getting credit on hands they are not even playing.
Rakeback on Tower Gaming is paid every Thursday for play generated from the previous Wednesday to Tuesday period. In addition to offering dealt rake, players will be happy to know that no deductions are made to players rakeback.
Players are only allowed to have one rakeback account on the Tower Gaming network at one time.
Do not use Tower Gaming Refer a Friend program when you sign up as it will prevent you from receiving rakeback.
Tower Gaming, licensed by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority, was established in 2006 on the Ongame Network and in 2011 they moved to the Tower Gaming Network, where they have maintained their rewards-minded reputation. The poker room does not accept US players but does almost every where else.
As a Cake Network skin, Tower Gaming sees over 1,000 real money players during peak times. The vast majority of players are located at the No Limit Hold'em tables, but they also have activity at the Fixed Limit Hold'em and Pot Limit Omaha tables. Tournament players will enjoy guarantees up to $25,000. Playes can also enjoy Gold Chip and Gold Card events, as well as satelites to some of the top live events.
Tower Gaming recently introduced a $100,000 Points Race for players. The promotion compliments a RakeTracker exclusive $3,000 sign-up bonus and special 33% flat rakeback. Players are also awarded with a Loyalty Levels rewards program as well as Gold Chips and Goold Cards which can be used to enter select tournaments. Gold Cards can even be placed on the special Gold Card Exchange marketplace to buy and sell with other players.

Tower Gaming offers all the standard Hold'em games: No Limit, Pot Limit and Fixed Limit. All games are available in 2, 6 or 9 seats. Tower Gaming also offers PL and Fixed Limit Omaha, although only $0.50/$1.00 and $1/$2 are run for Fixed Limit. A button for Stud games is visible in the lobby; however, no tables are viewable. Cake Poker does not offer any other games, making the site lag behind other sites in game selection.
Tower Gaming’s traffic has decreased of late and as a result, most of the action available at No Limit Hold'em is below $3/$6 and $0.50/$1 at Limit Hold'em. All other activity takes place at the Pot Limit Omaha tables. Action will occasionally develop at the remaining Omaha games.
At NL Hold'em, two different buy-in levels are offered- standard and shallow. Shallow tables have a 20 big blind minimum and 50 big blind maximum, whereas standard tables run with buy-in levels ranging from 30 to 100 big blinds. Cash games are available in two speeds – Normal and Turbo.

As one of the top sites to accept USA players, Tower Gaming has a wide array of tournament offerings. Guaranteed tournaments such as the weekly $25k and the $15k are popular draws. Players can buy in for each tournament with $162 or $109, respectively. The largest daily guaranteed tournament is a $50+$5 event held at 8 PM ET. Multiple daily satellites are held with buy-ins as low as $1.
Throughout the year, Tower Gaming offers satellites to the most prestigious event in the world such as the WSOP, WPT and Aussie Millions. Satellites to popular guaranteed tournaments and Live events have buy-ins as low as $2, with many of them available daily. With Bounty tournaments, a portion of each prize pool is given away to players for knocking out opponents.
Also available at Tower Gaming are Gold Card tournaments that award cash prizes, satellites entries to some of the most popular multi-table tournaments. Gold Cards are given randomly to one player for a select amount of rake. Gold Cards with high ranks can be quite valuable as fewer players will have them, resulting in great overlay for those that enter.

Tower Gaming offers their SNGs with 2, 6 or 10 seats. There is also multi-table SNGs with 20 or 30 seats, with games running at only the smallest buy-ins. The games are primarily populated at 2, 6 and 10 seat SNGs.
The game types at Tower Gaming run the gamut. The main types include Turbo, Super Turbo, Double-Up and Kamikaze tournaments. In Turbo events, the blinds increase every 6 minutes. With Super-Turbo SNGs, blinds will only last 2 minutes. In "Double-Up" SNGs -- more commonly referred to as "Double or Nothing" -- the top 5 players win double the tournament buy-in. Kamikaze SNGs will require players to go all-in every hand.
Note that the buy-in fees for the SNGs can range greatly based on type. For example, the $1 Kamikaze has a buy-in fee of $0.05, the standard 30-seat $1 and $1 Short Stack SNGs have a buy-in fee of $0.10. The $1 standard 10 person table has a buy-in fee of $0.20.
Tower Gaming also runs SNGs that players can buy-in with Gold Chips. These events are available by clicking the Gold Chip/Gold Card graphic towards the center of the client when clicking on "Tournaments." The Gold Chip SNGs will often award satellites into popular guaranteed tournaments or bounty events. Also popular at Tower Gamingare Gold Chip SNGs that award additional Gold Chips. In "Double Up to Cash" SNGs, Tower Gaming will award real money.

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 in rake. Once the pot reaches $20, 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.
RakeTracker players can take advantage of four weekly $20,000 exclusive Rake Races each month. The leaderboard will pay the top 300 point earnerswith cash prizes of between $15 to $1,500. Players are automatically enrolled.
Cake Poker players earn FPPs when playing real money cash games and tournaments at Tower Gaming. Players can also earn Gold Chips at a rate of 1 per 100 FPPs earned. Gold Chips can be used to enter special tournaments.
Tower Gaming in house VIP program, the Loyalty Levels Rewards Program, can be taken advantage of by rakeback players. The Loyalty Levels Rewards Program consists of 50 levels paying Gold Chips, bonuses and cash prizes to players who complete a stack.
Players will be required to earn Gold Chips to complete a Stack. Once the Stack is completed, the player will be rewarded a prize based on how fast the stack was completed. A minimum prize is awarded with no time requirement, a "Turbo" reward will be given when a Gold Stack is completed within 4-6 days and a "Super Turbo" reward will be awarded to those that complete the stack within 3 days. Depending on the level, the player will either complete another Stack in the level or move on to the next level. The further a player advances in the program, the higher the rewards will be.
Players cannot lose a level if they are in levels 1-10. Once players advance past this milestone, they will be required to earn 3 Gold Chips over two consecutive months to maintain the status.
Gold Cards are rewarded to the table once a predetermined rake amount has been hit, believed to be around $20. The higher the stakes that are being played, the more often Gold Cards will be rewarded. Once the rake level is reached, a Gold Card will be given randomly to one player at the table. The higher the rank of your Gold Card, the rarer it is and thus more valuable the card will be for use in future promotions.
Gold Cards can be used to enter multi-table tournaments, Match and Win promotions and for use in the Gold Card Exchange.
Tower Gming allows new depositors to enter a weekly "$1000 New Depositor Freeroll" to be held on Saturday at 2 PM ET/18:00 GMT.

Believe it or not, there was a time in online poker’s history that there was no such thing as rakeback. When the seeds of Rake Tracker were first planted in 2003 almost all poker rewards came in the form of bonuses. Soon players wanted more. The RakeTracker business first started small, offering rakeback to players on a one-on-one basis and through referrals.
As the business grew, RakeTracker.com was launched as one of the first full-scale rakeback providers on the internet providing players with additional perks that they could receive in addition to bonuses – payout out rakeback since 2004. Now many years later, players still flock to RakeTracker for industry leading rakeback deals, monthly poker promotions in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and top quality customer support.
All live and online card rooms take “rake” and “tournament fees” to run and operate their games. The amount of rake or fees taken will vary by game type and stake levels, but will generally be 5% of each pot for ring games and around 10% of the buy-in for tournaments.
With rakeback, players are returned a percentage of the rake that is attributed to them, usually 27%-40%. Simply put: Receiving rakeback and other promotions help winning poker players win more and losing poker players lose less. There is no reason not to get rakeback!
Getting rakeback is easy through RakeTracker: simply create a RakeTracker account, then using our referral links download the poker site’s software, add the tracker to your account and you are ready to go! Detailed instructions are available on each site’s review page.
