Partypoker Rakeback: Weekly Cashback, Diamond Club and Rake

At partypoker, 999 cashback points in a week give $157.50, and the 1,000th point adds $42.50. That ladder decides your return, so we compared partypoker's rewards and rake by game format: numbers to weigh against the best rakeback poker sites.

Weekly Cashback pays up to 20% of the week's rake each Monday, wager-free. Only the last target you reach pays, so returns dip between targets. Boosted fastforward tables from NL50 earn two points for every $1 spent, and three points during Happy Hours. This means that in selected countries, the ladder reaches 40%, or 60% during Happy Hours. Volume players stack monthly Diamond Club challenges on top: up to 50% of SPINS Overdrive fees in cash and 25% of cash-game and fastforward rake in P$.

In short, it depends on what you play:

• ✅ Fastforward NL50+ regulars and high-volume SPINS Overdrive grinders get the most back: boosted points and Diamond Club lift returns above 20%.
• ⚠️ Standard cash regulars get a smaller deal: cashback stops at 20%, and Diamond Club pays in P$.

How partypoker weekly cashback works

Partypoker gives 1 cashback point per $1 of rake or fees in any real-money game and pays up to 20% of the week's rake on standard tables in cash every Monday (8–20% at each target), with no wagering. You opt in once, in the client or the Offers tab. The ladder, in force since September 2024:

Key rules:

• The week runs Monday 00:00 to Sunday 23:59 CEST.
• Tournament points count when the tournament ends, so a Sunday-night MTT can land in the next week.
• You need a verified account and the downloaded client.

Fastforward boosted points and Happy Hours

Under the Happy Hours terms, fastforward 6-max NL50+ earns 2 cashback points per $1 of rake outside Happy Hours and 3 during them, and partypoker confirmed that cashback on those points can go above 20% of rake.

Happy Hours run 17:00–18:59 and 01:00–02:59 UK time, when NL5–NL25 also earns 2 points per $1. The boost needs no opt-in, covers Hold'em and PLO but not heads-up, and is open to players from the UK, Ireland, Malta, Canada, Gibraltar, Finland and Brazil. For a week played all on NL50+:

Standard tables pay up to 20% and boosted NL50+ up to 40% outside Happy Hours, while a mixed week is paid on the sum of its points. The same doubling takes NL5–NL25 up to 40% in Happy Hours.

Where cashback points are lost

Between targets you get less than the advertised rate, 15.8% at 999 points instead of 17.5% and 6.7% at 149 instead of 10%, because partypoker pays only the last target you reached and drops the leftover points. Examples just below cashback targets and at 1,000 points:

At selected targets, the last point adds: $2.50 at point 100, $8.75 at 150, $20.00 at 500 and $42.50 at 1,000. So a week that ends just short of a target pays noticeably less than one that clears it before Sunday night.

Partypoker Diamond Club

Diamond Club is now two monthly challenges on top of weekly cashback: SPINS Diamond Club returns up to 50% of Overdrive fees in cash, and Cash Games & Fast Forward (Cash & FF) up to 25% of rake in P$, capped at P$5,000 a month. How both run:

• You opt in every calendar month.
• Each $1 of fees in SPINS Overdrive, or of rake in cash games and fastforward, earns 1 point, and the count resets on the 1st.
• Rewards are paid as each target is reached: SPINS in cash with no wagering, and Cash & FF in non-withdrawable P$ with no expiry. P$ can be used in any game except heads-up.

Cumulative rewards by monthly points:

SPINS Diamond Club hits 50% at 15,000 points a month. With weekly cashback, our model puts a high-volume grinder at about 70% of fees back in cash, if every week ends on a target of 1,000+ points. The share jumps most at 5,000 points, from 18% at 4,999 to 35%. The top target, 45,000 points, pays $22,500 in total.

Residents of Sweden, Denmark, Mexico, Peru, Chile and Austria can't join either challenge, and both end on December 31, 2026.

Welcome bonus release as extra rakeback

The 100% up to $600 welcome bonus releases in 10% steps as you earn 12 loyalty points per $1 of bonus within 90 days, which adds 16.7% to 33.3% of your rake, depending on the game. Unlike cashback points at 1 per $1, these loyalty points vary by game:

Partypoker doesn't say where high-stakes cash begins. The same week's rake counts toward the bonus and weekly cashback, so while the bonus releases, boosted fastforward NL50+ returns 33.3% in bonus plus up to 40% in cashback. The minimum deposit is $10, released bonus funds are cash, and any unreleased bonus expires after 90 days.

Partypoker rake structure

Partypoker rakes 5% of pots that reach the flop, split by each player's share of the pot, and caps it at $1–$3 depending on the stake and players dealt in. The caps are the same for Hold'em and Omaha:

Heads-up tables cap at $1 up to $1/$2, $3 at $2.50/$5 and $4 at $5/$10, the highest stake in the lobby in November 2026.

When the rake cap applies

Up to $0.05/$0.10 the rake works as a flat 5%, since the cap needs a 200–1,000 BB pot. From $0.50/$1 it applies in pots from 20–60 BB, at $2.50/$5 from 4–12 BB and at $5/$10 from 2–6 BB. Here is how caps compare across poker sites. Caps in big blinds, and the pot where 5% reaches them:

Tournament, Sit & Go and SPINS fees

Tournament rake is a one-off fee next to the buy-in: 8% at SPINS Overdrive up to $5, falling to 5% at $50 and $100, while MTT and Sit & Go fees vary with the buy-in and structure. SPINS Overdrive by buy-in:

In partypoker's lobby we noted The Super $55 at $50+$5, The Super $215 at $200+$15, the Turbo 9-max Sit & Go at $1.80+$0.20 and Heads Up Hyper Turbo at $194+$6. MTT buy-ins under $10, such as $1.10, $2.20 and $5.50, suggest a fee of about 10%.

Final thoughts

Partypoker's weekly ladder tops out at 20% on standard tables and 40% on boosted fastforward NL50+, with the payout set by the target your week ends on. Volume in SPINS Overdrive and cash earns a second, monthly ladder, the welcome bonus adds rewards during the first 90 days, and rake stays a flat 5% until mid-stakes caps bite.

The percentages aren't a guaranteed combined return, since targets, eligibility and reward currencies differ, and boosts cover seven countries only. Here is what partypoker returns by game:
