Generally speaking, it is possible to divide rakeback deals into three separate categories based on their numerical return amounts. The categories, for lack of a better system of relative definition, are bad, good and great. In order to illustrate these categories further, a brief write up is included on each one below.

The bad category of rakeback is one that you generally want to avoid. Any rakeback that is in the single digits would quality as being a definite poor rakeback and any deal that is in the 10% to 15% range is debatable as being bad. The main reason for this is that rakeback deals require you to play a large percentage of your poker at that website and while you are doing this, you are foregoing bonus money that is available elsewhere. If you have already taken the choicest bonuses available and are looking into rakeback as your main source of income aside from actual online poker winnings, then 10% to 15% is fine. If you still have some good signup bonuses left to collect, missing those on account of a rakeback in this range would not be optimal.

The good category of rakeback is one that you usually want to snatch as soon as you hear about it, because the deal is excellent. Any rakeback in the 15% to 20% category is arguably a good rakeback deal, keeping in mind the same characteristics that were used to define what made 10% to 15% a bad rakeback deal. Essentially, any rakeback deal between 10% and 20% is one that you need to weigh against the bonuses from other poker websites that you still have to collect. Any rakeback in between 20% and 30% is a good one and should usually be snatched up as soon as possible.

Finally, there is the great category of rakeback. This category represents the cream of the crop as far as rakeback is concerned and you should basically always lock a deal like this in when you see it. Any rakeback in excess of 30% would fall into this category. Even if you have no intensions of playing at that site regularly, make sure you lock the deal in so that you can refer to it and use it whenever you want. If there is a minimum play requirement to keep the rakeback active, make sure you play at least that and then the rest of your poker playing during the month is free time.

Generally, this is how rakeback deals are divided if you want to base it on the actual percentage payment happening. There are other ways to look at rakeback deals though, so this is just a starting guide at best.
