Red Star Poker is on the Cake Poker Network

A poker network is a place where people can meet to play online poker. You get to the poker network through different rooms on that network. Cake Poker started an online poker network, and also provided a room (also called Cake Poker) to access that network. Red Star Poker is another room on the Cake Poker network. By registering and playing online poker at Red Star Poker, you are playing on the Cake Poker network. You will be playing against the same players you would see if you were playing via the Cake Poker room itself.

Rakeback is Sweeter on the Cake Poker Network

Everyone who has played even a little bit of poker knows you shouldn't play every hand. Sometimes you just get some bad cards and the smart play is to fold them and wait for the next hand. It's part of poker...at least it is at Red Star Poker.

Most online poker rooms will only count your hand for rakeback if you put some money into the pot. According to them, folding isn't playing. If you don't play your bad cards they will tell you you weren't in the hand at all!

Red Star Poker disagrees. If you were dealt some cards for the hand, you were playing poker for that hand - and it counts for rakeback, promotions, bonuses...EVERYTHING. They don't let their greed for more rake influence the definition of who is playing a hand and who is not. If your decision is to fold your cards, Red Star Poker acknowledges that you still played poker that hand.

Get Credit for Tournament Fees

Cash players aren't the only players paying to play poker online. Tournament players are usually paying 10% to the house for their action. Most online poker rooms don't give players credit toward rakeback for their tournament fees. Red Star Poker again disagrees. They credit all tournament fees FULLY toward the Net Gross Rake (NGR) figure they use to calculate rakeback. At Red Star Poker you can get a full 33% of your tournament fees returned as rakeback.
