Poker rakeback returns part of the poker room’s commission. It does not refund a percentage of every stake or reimburse losses. That calculation base is the first distinction needed to interpret 1Win’s “up to 50%” headline.
Commission creates the rebate base
The source lists cash-table rake at 5% per qualifying hand, with a $0.01 minimum and $4 maximum. The rebate percentage is then applied to eligible rake attributed to the account. Money placed in a pot is not automatically the same quantity as commission paid.
Seven statuses run from Player at 15% through Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Elite to Diamond at 50%. The respective intermediate percentages are 20%, 25%, 30%, 35% and 40%. The top percentage is a tier ceiling, not the default rate for every account.
Points track rake rather than deposits
The stated relationship is one VIP point per $1 of rake. Status thresholds therefore measure eligible commission, not deposited money or the gross value of hands played. Treating those quantities as equivalent would overstate progress.
Crediting is described as occurring on Mondays. The unpaid-rakeback display records an expected amount during the period, while the credited account entry records the completed payment.
Duration wording needs qualification
The source says status lasts one year but also says all statuses reset on 1 September. Those statements do not establish one unambiguous expiry date for every account. The applicable status terms need to resolve that interaction; inventing an anniversary rule would hide the inconsistency.
The documented campaign deadline is 1 January 2027 at 01:59, with no timezone supplied. Currency conversion and any ordinary account checks remain separate from the rebate percentage.
