On a related note I find it funny how Stars has never offered rakeback and everyone loves them here, but as soon as Party makes an attempt to correct their wrong everyone hates em.

If Party wants to lower their rake and tournament fees to Pokerstars level I'd be content with that. Rakeback at Party only serves to bring the rake down to reasonable levels.

I've never been on PokerStars, but I have heard that the rake is cheaper. Would you be able to tell me what the difference is... like is it cheaper by 25% to 30% range?
Would you know what the avg rake for 5/10 6-max is? I don't even know if 5/10 6-max is played at PokerStars.

Stars Rake
Party Rake

Need some stats to know the real difference on a particular level, but Party is certainly higher for limit. NL looks the same.

Is the rake less in Pokerstars cash games? I looked on their website and it appears as if they calculate rake the same exact way as Party does for NL ring games anyway.

For PL/NL we rake *very* slightly differently. We rake the pot, not including the rake that has already been taken. It would work out very slightly cheaper in the long run.

For limit games we are definitely much cheaper, there was a link to a sample game a while back here.
