Ask: a percentage of what?
Cashback may refer to a share of eligible net losses during a stated period. Rakeback can refer to a portion of an operator-defined fee, theoretical margin or qualifying activity. Neither word supplies a universal formula. The source terms must define the calculation.
A percentage of losses cannot be compared directly with a percentage of wagering. Nor is a percentage of a theoretical margin equivalent to a cash refund of that percentage of every stake. Our profiles describe the reward type and preserve uncertainty where no common rate is published.
A small example with two different bases
Suppose a hypothetical offer returns 10% of eligible net losses and those losses are 100 units. The starting calculation is 10 units, before any cap, exclusion or deduction. This is an arithmetic illustration, not an offer from a listed brand.
A separate hypothetical offer returning 0.1% of 1,000 units of eligible activity starts at 1 unit. The first percentage is larger, but that observation alone does not tell you which programme is more valuable. The bases, the activity and the conditions differ.
Check the form of the reward
A reward can arrive as cash, bonus funds, points, free play or another promotional balance. That balance may have wagering requirements, redemption restrictions, game exclusions or an expiry date. A cash-sounding label does not make it withdrawable money.
The Fanatics Casino and DraftKings profiles are useful examples of why the reward currency needs its own field. Read the current conversion or redemption rule rather than relying on a headline amount.
Read the deductions and the clock
Look for the settlement period, minimum claim, cap, excluded play, deductions for earlier rewards, and the time allowed to collect or use the benefit. A weekly reward can be calculated weekly without remaining available forever.
If the official help page and a promotion page disagree, do not choose the more generous number. Our international profiles flag several such conflicts. Request confirmation under the current account-specific terms before attaching a value to a reward. Cashback cannot make gambling a reliable income source.
