What is the average yearly rake paid by an online player?

they rake more than half a million from the tables i play at. it's scary.

I play micro limits (.50/1 & 1/2 mostly). Poker Tracker says I've paid $440+ so far this MONTH, the summery puts my MGR THIS MONTH at $600+.

By my very rough ballpark estimates, party rakes the 5/10 6max game (which I play) for at least 100k a day (maybe as much as 200k).

Even if there are as many as 200 regular winning players at that level, taking in an average of say $100/d, Party is taking roughly $5 off the fish for every $1 that the winners do...

BUT NOT IF YOU ALREADY HAVE AN EXISTING POKER ACCOUNT AT UB

Hmmm, you can almost make a living with 25% rakeback alone.

I am curious to know if anyone knows of any studies that can answer the above question and/or what your best guess may be.

Why does it matter what an "average player" pays in rake?

If you are interested in how much party brings in each year, they are a publically traded company and you can look at the obscene numbers yourself by reviewing their financial disclosure documents.

You can obviously calculate your own rake!

I also think that if the above is accurate, or close to accurate, that every online player is potentially a golden nugget for each competing site!

Every player is indeed a golden nugget, with high volume players obviously worth more.

It's bullshyt that party support treats their "golden nuggets" like shyt. I bring them 50k per year and they deny me the reload bonus. Oh, how I wish there was a better alternative to party.
