New Pokerroom Rate Structure?
 

So I'm playing some 1/2 5 max this morning.

They are taking rake out by the dimes, and I can't figure out the ratio.

Can anyone help?

Rake Structure

The rake is defined below for each game which we spread and is calculated as 5% of the matched bets in the pot. We do not charge rake if there isn't a flop ("no flop, no drop").


Structured games (limit)

* $0.25-$0.5 to $0.5-$1
$0.05 is raked for every $1 in the pot up to a maximum of $1.50.


* $1-$2
$0.25 is raked for every $5 in the pot up to a maximum of $1.50.


* $2-$4 to $50-$100

Number of players $20 pot $40 pot $60 pot Max rake
2-3 - - - $1
4-5 $1 $1 - $2
6-10 $1 $1 $1 $3



Pot-limit and no-limit

* $0.25-$0.5 to $0.5-$1.0
$0.05 is raked for every $1 in the pot up to the max rake (see below).

Number of players Max rake
2-3 $1
4-5 $2
6-10 $3


* $1-$2 to $2-$4
$0.25 is raked for every $5 in the pot up to the max rake (see below).

Number of players Max rake
2-3 $1
4-5 $2
6-10 $3


* $5-$10 and up
$1 is raked for every $20 in the pot up to the max rake (see below).

Number of players Max rake
2-3 $1
4-5 $2
6-10 $3

This is how it's always been.

But with the update this morning - I think it might have changed.

Can't find the new one? maybe it's now 5% based on each $2 for 1-2?

Re: New Pokerroom Rate Structure?
 

definitely worse now - can be as high as 10% even at $20+ pots. b*tches.

Re: New Pokerroom Rate Structure?
 

Good luck figuring it out - their website still lists the rake for $2/$4 as $1 taken out at $20, when it hasn't been that way for quite a few months

PokerRoom does way too much of this "stealth" rake changes and never acknowledges the new structure anywhere. And this change is pretty harsh too, way out of line with most other online rooms.

Just for kicks, get a HH for every hand you win. Calculate what the rake should be under the published rake schedule. Cut and paste the rake schedule into an email along with your hand histories and ask for a refund of the excess rake.

I have noticed the timing of their increased rake schedule coincides with their bonus offering. I think I may pull my money out of PokerRoom as I rarely play there anyway.

Thank you,

and when people want to bitch about rake they always bring up Party Poker. Go figure.

Re: New Pokerroom Rate Structure?
 

PR was my favorite site, I'm done there now. A rake increase like this kills a low limit player like me.

Re: New Pokerroom Rate Structure?
 

These sites take their players for granted. I just would like the CEO's to remember the day when they had 2 half full 1/2 tables and one short 10/20 full, because I do......... [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
