» What is rake?
|
| Rake is the cut that the house/gaming operator take out of every pot played for real money. Normally there is a cap of $ 3 per pot. If you are ten players at the table
when the hand is dealt and the rake is $3. This means that your part of the rake in this pot is $0.30. Please use our RakeBack Calulcator to
calculate how much you will be receiving in rakeback based on your play. Or you can just take a look at our Rake Back Scheme but these figures
are not as correct as the calculator is. |
