One Buy-In, One Final Table, One Month of No Rake at Poker Planets
- Poker Planets offers 100% rakeback with Sun Lite & Sun Cups.
- Sun Lite Cup: $5.50 buy-in, $2,500 guarantee, top 3 earners get rakeback.
- Sun Cup: $11 buy-in, $5,000 guarantee, all final-table players earn rakeback.
At most online poker sites, rake is the one thing you can always count on. At Poker Planets this January, it’s temporarily negotiable, at least if you’re willing to fight for it. The upcoming Sun Lite Cup and Sun Cup tournaments are giving out 100% rakeback for a month to top finishers.
It’s not a cashback promo. It’s not a limited-time rebate. It’s straight-up rakeback, and it applies to all real-money play. The only catch? You have to earn it.
Sun Lite Cup: The Smaller Buy-In
The Sun Lite Cup takes place on January 17 at 17:30 CET, with a $5.50 buy-in and a $2,500 guarantee. It’s a 7-max Super Bounty format, meaning 70% of the prize pool is allocated to knockouts. That’s the short-term incentive.
The long-term value? The top 3 finishers earn one full month of 100% rakeback on the platform.
If you're not buying in directly, there are qualifying routes:
- Win seats via play-money tournaments
- Enter through freebuy or satellite qualifiers
Have extra tickets? Use them for re-entry, or convert them to tournament dollars ($T) and spend them elsewhere.
Sun Cup: Final Table and You're In
The Sun Cup runs on January 31 at 17:30 CET, and the structure mirrors the Lite version but with a little more on the line. The buy-in is $11, the guarantee is $5,000, and once again, 70% of the prize pool is dedicated to knockouts.
The difference is in the prize: every finalist, all seven players at the final table, gets one month of 100% rakeback.
Qualify in one of three ways:
- Join the freebuy at 13:00 CET on the same day
- Enter one of the daily $1.10 satellites through January 30
- Or take a last shot on January 31 at 15:30 CET
Win, and you don’t just beat the field, you beat the rake for the rest of the month.
FAQs: Poker Planets Sun (Lite) Cup
What do I win if I qualify?
If you place in the top 3 of the Sun Lite Cup or make the Sun Cup final table, you’ll earn 100% rakeback for one full month. It applies to all real-money play and starts immediately after the event.
Do I have to buy in directly?
No. You can qualify via freebuy, play-money, or $1.10 satellite events. Extra tickets can be used for re-entry or converted into $T.
How is rakeback tracked or paid?
Rakeback is tracked automatically and credited on a regular basis during the one-month window. No manual claiming required.
