But if you put in $15 (of the $36) then you get 15/36 times the rake of $1.80 attributed to you. In this case that is $0.75 and you would get 27% of that in rakeback.

Q: Why my rake is negative or what is rake deductions?
A: Players may find their rake negative due to several reasons. In most cases this is because of clearing the sign up bonus, which is actually a 100% rakeback. While clearing the bonus, players will find their rake and balance negative. However, once the bonus is cleared rake reports will be positive and will be based on a 27% rakeback bonus.

Another common reason is Full Tilt Poker Points usage. These points can be used to buy into the tournaments or Full Tilt Poker Shop. In both cases, used FPP are deducted from your Monthly Gross Rake (MGR), which is used to calculate rakeback. 1 FPP is equal to $0.005 gross rake.

FullTilt Poker also deducts money from rakeback for Full Tilt Poker Added Tournaments when players' buy in fees do not cover the added prize money. Then remaining sum is deducted from tournaments players' rakeback.

Player payment processor fees such as money transfers, withdrawals and etc. are also deducted from the rake back.

For example: When you enter a 11$+1$ tournament and you pay the buy in fee ($1) and you earn $0.27 rakeback, plus you get 10 Full Tilt Points. For every dollar paid in Multi-Table Tournament or Sit & Go fees, players receive 10 Full Tilt Points. These points is in a way rakeback too, so if you clear your Full Tilt Points later, it will be deducted from your rakeback. 1 FPP is equal to $0.005, so if you clear 10 points, you will clear $0.05, therefore $0.05 will be deducted from your MGR, which means 0.0135 will be deducted from your rakeback. It means you will be receiving $0.2565 rakeback, but your points will be cleared. But this is just one of many rakeback deduction cases. Yet, another common reason is player payment processor fees. For example, player makes a bank transfer of $100 to Full Tilt Poker. Obviously, Full Tilt will be charged with some bank fees, let's say $5. These $5.00 will be deducted from player's rakeback too. One more possible reason is sign up or reload bonus, which is actually a 100% rakeback. So, the cleared bonus money will be deducted from the rakeback as well.

Q: My rake calculator shows different rakeback earnings. Why?
A: There might be several reasons. But in most cases rake calculators include the sign up bonus clearance as rakeback; as well as they do not count in Full Tilt Poker deductions, such as FPP clearance and player processor fees.
