Knowing the difference between a poker site or networks Rake Contribution Method combined with your own playing style is vital in maximising your rakeback deals. If you choos a method not suitable for you then your amount of rakeback may not be as high as it could be compared to just playing at a different site.

The contributed rake method only takes those players into account who put money into the pot one way or another. If you are dealt cards and then fold without posting a compulsory bet (blind) or a voluntary one, you earn zero rake contribution and zero rakeback.
If you do put money into the pot pre flop then you will be allotted an equal amount of rake contribution with all the other active players.
The Contributed Rake Method is an improvement in fairness over the Dealt Rake Method, as it awards rake and rakeback to those players who are active in the hand and does not just give rakeback to players who have folded. But that does not mean it is good for your rakeback deals as all poker players have a different style that effects their own rakeback payments.
Even if you fold pre flop (as soon as you get dealt cards) and you have not put any money in the pot for that hand (for example you have not been forced to post a blind) you will still be counted in any raked hand calculation.
This means that in the Dealt Rake Method of working out your rake contribution you can play as little or as many hands as you like and you will still get the same rake contribution amount, and therefore the same rakeback payment, as another player who is involved and raising nearly every hand.
