No Rake Taken
We have been asked this a few times so here is the
answer. A few people are
wondering if the “Governments” would decide to gouge the players by
taking a higher commission or rake.
Actually, Game With Us is the BEST game players can play and here
is why.
A rake is not taken by the operator.
Players pay a one-time fee, like a service charge, an admission
and if it makes things easy, we’ll this one time call it a ‘rake’.
Let’s say will be between 10% at the low end to 20% at the high.
So if you bought a $100 ticket to play with, you would end up
with $80 to $90 to play with.
So if you were given $90 on your ticket, that is the last time
you EVER pay, associated with that ticket.
Let’s COMPARE:
“PokerStars receives compensation for hosting poker
games by taking a rake, or a small portion (5% to a maximum of $3) of
the pot. For detailed information about the rake see our
poker rake
page.” (From Poker Stars Site)
Let’s assume 10 player’s start out at a table at
Poker Stars. They each start
with $100 = $1,000 in play.
Each hour the table plays 40 hands and the average pot is $30.
The average rake is $1.50 per pot or $60 per hour.
Hours Played
1st Hour = $60 Rake = $6.00 per player
and Leaves $940 in Play
2nd Hour = $60 Rake or $120 in Total = Average $12.00 per
player and Leaves $880 in Play
3rd Hour = $60 Rake or $180 in Total = Average $18.00 per
player and Leaves $820 in Play
4th Hour = $60 Rake or $240 in Total = Average $24.00 per
player and Leaves $760 in Play
5th Hour = $60 Rake or $300 in Total = Average $30.00 per
player and Leaves $700 in Play
17th Hour = All Players are out of Money, Leaves $0 in Play
And so forth...
In our system each of the 10 players only has $90
for 10% of their $100 was taken when they purchased their ticket.
So now the table only has $900 to start play and there is never
any more charges from here on out.
Hours Played
1st Hour = $0 Rake Leaves $900 in Play
2nd Hour = $0 Rake Leaves $900 in Play
3rd Hour = $0 Rake Leaves $900 in Play
4th Hour = $0 Rake Leaves $900 in Play
5th Hour = $0 Rake Leaves $900 in Play
17th Hour = All Players Still Have $90 on Average, Leaves
$900 in Play
And so forth...
Sub in $800 for 20%, or $700 for $30.
Bottom line is it is a BETTER game to play for the players,
getting more for your money.
FACT!
Tournaments work the same way.
Once you have your ticket, you are not charged to go in any Sit &
Go’s, Tournaments, or play at any table or anything you want to do for
that matter. So if 1,000
people join a $10 tournament, it is $10 + $0 and the pot is $10,000 and
no player paid even a penny more.
The better you are, the longer you play and in the
long run, things are actually less expensive for the average player’s
enjoyment.
