High Rake and Massive Rakeback in private clubs: Makes it sense?
I noticed, Most private clubs run on the same formula: high rake, even higher rakeback.
The club takes 3–5% from every pot just so it can hand out 50–70% rakeback to players and agents.
When you look at the numbers, it’s almost comical — the club squeezes the pot and then gives half of it right back just to keep the ecosystem alive.
So here’s a serious question:
Wouldn’t it make way more sense to just take 2% rake and give maybe 20% rakeback?
Lower rake → less pressure to mass-grind → cleaner economy → less artificial volume created just to chase RB.
Right now the whole model feels like it’s built on shaky foundations.
What do you guys think? Is the “high rake, high rakeback” structure actually sustainable, or is it just a weird numbers game that only looks good on Instagram promo?

Well one thing it keeps the money in the system, meaning big winners aren't taking it all. Therefore it keeps the games going constantly, although traffic has died. Some people get 70%. Say I raked at least 500 a week is that possible to get that from someone reputable? They ban the best players too.
