How Rake, Rakeback and Referrals Work in Showdown
Showdown takes a small fee, called rake, from real-money play, and gives part of it back. Every player gets 10% of their rake returned each week, and you earn an extra 10% of the rake paid by every player you refer.

How much rake users pay
Rake depends on the game mode: 2% in Quick Matches and 6% in tournaments.
Real-money Quick Matches run only inside the two daily windows. Rake-free Friday applies to Quick Matches only, tournaments keep their 6% rake.
Referral program: 10% of your friends' rake
To invite someone, open your Profile and share your referral link (copy link next to your Player ID). The Referrals tab shows everyone you have brought in.

Bring a player to Showdown and you receive 10% of the rake they pay.
The bonus is paid by Showdown.
Example: you refer Pedro and Maria.
Rakeback: 10% back every week
Every player receives 10% of the rake they paid, calculated weekly. There is nothing to unlock and no minimum volume.
Example: you pay 50 USD in rake during the week, so you get 5 USD back.
Claiming your rewards
Rakeback and referral bonuses are both claimable once a week. The two stack: you collect 10% of your own rake plus 10% of the rake from every player you referred.
