But even if you are not from the US you still benefit from this room being US friendly because of the extra traffic and fish.

VIP Program:
Cake poker does have a rewards program. It is difficult to say exactly what it is worth in percentage terms but it certainly adds some value to the 33% Rakeback that you will receive.

As you play ring games or tournaments at cake you will earn frequent player points (FPPs) according to the following table.

When you are dealt cards in a real money ring game, you'll earn 1 FPP for every dollar raked. In tournament play, you'll earn 7 FPPs per dollar in tournament fees paid.

FPPs accumulate to become Gold Chips, which are redeemable for free tournament play and the Cake shop. The exchange process of FPPs to Gold Chips is automatic and happens according to the following table.

There is a wide variety of things available to purchase with your gold coins.
-Cake Gear starting at 100 Gold Chips.
-Tournament Tickets to Cake Events & Live Tournaments.
-Gaming Devices including XBOX 360 & Nintendo Wii's starting at 1660 Gold Chips.
-Electronics, from Ipods to flat screen plasma TV's.
-DVDs, Books, Poker Goods & more.

If you play cash games you will also receive gold cards. Every time the table reaches a pre determined rake amount, a Gold Card is released. So as far as the player is concerned they are randomly given out. These cards can be used in daily Gold Card lotteries, buy into special tournaments and whoever collects the most unique cards every year gets the jackpot of $52,000.

As you can see this rewards program is hard to put a $$ figure on, but when added to the 33% Rakeback and sign up bonus, this site can offer great value.
