How is it beneficial to SEO?

According to Google cloaking is "a website that returns altered webpages to search engines crawling the site." In other words, a human reading the site would see different content or information than the Googlebot or other search engine robot reading the site. Most of the time, cloaking is implemented in order to improve search engine ranking by misleading the search engine robot into thinking the content on the page is different than it really is.

It is bad technique and against to search engine guideline so it may penalize your website if you use the cloaking technique.

Cloaking generally means to present different version of web page contents from of search engines to search robots and human visitors based on their browser's user agent or IP address. Cloaking is the act of masking the name and address of the sender so that the recipient does not know who sent the e-mail.
