BetKings Rakeback
As a member of the GGNetwork, BetKings Poker uses the Fish Buffet Rewards Program and Black Ranks Flat Cashback Program.
In this new program all players have the opportunity to earn up to 60% cash back on their rake!
Once opted-in players will earn Fish Buffet Points(FP). One FP is accumulated for $0.01 rake.
There are 25 different levels to unlock. Each level has different FP and time limit requirements.
When a certain limit is reached, players have an opportunity to spin the Fish Buffet Rewards Wheel or switch to the flat weekly cashback. If the required FP amount is not met within the time frame, players will drop down to the previous level. Players can switch to lower a "Black Rank" anytime.

BetKings Rake Structure
At Betkings the next rake is as follows:
Hold'em cash game: 5% of the pot, with a maximum depending on the stakes
Omaha cash game: 5% of the pot,with a maximum depending on the stakes
Rush & Cash: 5% of the pot, with a maximum depending on the stakes
GGPoker uses a special rake structure called PVI to calculate the rake. The PVI rake is on average 60% of the gross rake, which is similar to the SBR rake rate used on iPoker. PokerAcademy also uses this rake for affiliate promotions, with the addition that the total rake is reduced by any rewards, i.e. Fish Buffet prizes, first deposit bonus, and any special prizes, deposit and withdrawal costs, and other costs.

Attention! BetKings Poker migrated to GGPoker
Attention! BetKings Poker migrated its players to GGPoker in April 2020! The GGPoker interface appears when you download and start the client, but after logging in, the BetKings logo shows up. If you're unable to login, you should request a new password first, as this usually solves the issue. You can also have a GGPoker account, but can only use one of them at the same time. Our exclusive promotions at RakeRace are still available in both rooms, just like before. Attention! BetKings Poker migrated its players to GGPoker in April 2020!

(6,67% weighted)
GGNetwork has become one of the biggest and most rapidly growing online poker operators by now. While several high-stakes players reported on strange treatment by the site's support on the international poker forums earlier, we haven't heard any complaints from our players in the past years, and we believe this is no longer an issue at the site.By 2019, they've become the home of high-stakes cash games and high-roller tournaments, so we believe GGNetwork - and its most popular member, BetKings - provides a safe and fair environment for the players.
