PKR has announced a change to its rakeback program that will affect new and existing players.  The flat 30 percent rakeback will be replaced with a tiered system that resembles more of a VIP program than a traditional rakeback agreement.  Players must contribute at least $25 in rake during a month to receive any rakeback payments.  The new program will go into effect on March 1, 2014.
