Below is a guide through setting up your rakeback account, finding poker rooms that suit you and a walk through in setting up a new account at a poker room.
Opening an account with POD Rakeback
POD Rakeback
is a subsiduary of the Pokerpod online poker community website. It is
powered by the #1 market leader in rakeback and as such we are able to
get the absolute best rakeback and bonus deals from the biggest and
best poker rooms. Opening
an account with 
Rakeback
requires you to open a seperate account from
your forum account. This is primarily so that if you let
someone use
you forum account they would not be able to access your rakeback
account and accounts manager, so it is important that you use a
different password to your forum account.
To open your rakeback account, simply click on Register on the top menu tab (highlighted in green), or the register botton on the right above the log in field. This will take you to the profile information page. Fill out your details and submit. Shortly therafter you will recieve an email with your log in details and are free to access all pages in POD Rakeback!
If you forget your password, you can have a new one sent to your email by selecting the "password reset" button in the log in field.
There are various ways you can look for poker room that best suit you on POD rakeback. The list of sites on the left hand panel show all our active rakeback deals that are linked to the personal rakeback manager. (There are other rakeback offers in VIP bonuses, but these rakeback funds will be paid directly into your poker room account and any stats managers will be provided by that poker room, not POD rakeback). To select a site site simply click on the site name (it will be highlighted in grey) and you will be taken to that sites sign up page. If you would like to know more about that particular site, you will see a "read review button" at the bottom of the site sign up page. Click this button and you will be taken to a review of the site! (there is a link back to the sign up page from the review page).
If you are after a sign up bonus, visit the VIP Bonuses tab. This is a list of all the poker rooms that POD rakeback offers sign up, deposit and reload bonuses on. To review a particular site, click on "Reviews" in the top tab and select the site that you are interested in.
