| with the "rake" being $0.25, you will also recieve points for every $ that the house gets. Points vary from site to site so you may want to check your sites "Terms and Agreements". Points can be used for buyins into Tourneys, converting Bonus's into Cash or buying promotional gear. |

Full Tilt, for example, gives you 7 player points for ever $1 you pay in tournament rake. So you'd get 1.75 points for playing a $2+0.25 tournament, or 14 for playing a $20+2 tournament. Reference: Online Poker at Full Tilt Poker - Real Money: Full Tilt Points |

they are so rich from the rake off the tables not the tourneys. i monitor FT limit tables from .25/.50 full and 6 max and the .50/1 in the last 60 days they have made a touch over $75,000 just from those tables. i use the info for my PT but the rake info is kinda interesting. |

"Standard" rake online is actually more like 10%. The reason it seems inflated based on these figures is that a lot of sites bump it up for the very lowest stakes. Full Tilt charges 25% on a $1 SnG, for example. Play a $10 game, however, and you should only be paying $1 in rake. Live casinos work on pretty much the same basis. Tournaments will include an entry fee, depending on the casino these can be pretty high and they're typically higher than online*. From memory, casino tournaments I've played in here (Melbourne Australia) have charged $50+$15, $200+$30, $150+$25. So 15-30% and again, they charge more at lower stakes. Cash games work by either: 1 - Charging time (everyone pays a certain amount per hour to play in the game - some places just take it on the hour, others use a "collection pot" system, as seen on Live at the Bike) 2 - Raking the pot, same as online Of course, some places do both. My local casino charges $5/hr at $2/$3NL and rakes the pot. * Makes some sort of sense, I guess - online sites don't need to pay anywhere near as much in rent and staff, nor do they need to buy actual cards, tables or chips. |
