There have been a lot of changes recently in online poker. With Lock Poker moving to the Cake Poker Network and becoming the Revolution Gaming Network, and the announcement that Merge Gaming is now rakeback friendly again, this is a good time to review what gets deducted at each rakeback friendly poker room. It is a good idea to research what is deducted from rakeback when comparing one offer to another.
