Rake

[largos]

Hi all!
How is rake calculated? Do you have to be in the pot to contribute to the rake or is it split between players sitting at the table?
I have heard that if there is 3 dollars in rake they split it with all the players sitting at the table.
Anyone know the fact?

some sites calculate this way, its listed in the T&C of the affiliate agreements available at most sites homepages. Or you would have to contact them directly.

It depends on exactly which site / software.

Some more common methods in determining rake contribution per player, per hand for revenue purposes:

1. gross method = rake / players
2. theoretical method = rake * (player's bets / final potsize)
3. modified theor. method1 = rake / players in the pot (saw flop)
4. modified theor. method2 = rake / players that had live hands when the pot was actually raked.
5. actual method = winner of pot

I think 1,2, and 5 are most common.
