Poker — frequently asked questions
Should I play cash games or tournaments?
Cash games normally let you buy in and leave between hands, while tournaments charge an entry and continue under published elimination and payout rules. Formats, fees, rebuy options and variance differ, so read the specific game rules and set a loss limit first.
Is rakeback better than a poker bonus?
It depends on the actual reward rate, eligible rake, release schedule, expiry and your expected play. Neither label guarantees better value. Compare the current terms using a realistic volume and do not play more merely to unlock a reward.
How do you rank poker sites?
The published Sherpa Score blends the supplied rating (50%), calculated bonus-value band (35%) and supplied payout-speed band (15%). These catalogue inputs are not proof of current quality or suitability.
