PokerStars US rakeback

Network PokerStars Program Dynasty Builder Checked

PokerStars US rakeback comes from Dynasty Builder, a weekly mission program launched on 1 April 2026 for the regulated US sites in New Jersey, Michigan and Pennsylvania. It returns 10% of rake for the first completed mission and up to 25% when you complete all 16 missions in a week.

Dynasty Builder has no loyalty levels. Every week starts from zero, and the result depends only on how many Grind missions you finish. Rewards are paid weekly without wagering.

How Dynasty Builder works

The return grows with each mission you complete in the week. The first mission needs only $50 of rake, while the full 25% requires completing all 16.
