Rake Structure and Tournament Fees

The Rake is the scaled commission fee charged by the house for operating a poker game and is collected from most real money ring game pots (also known as cash games). Therefore the Rake is simply the amount of commission deducted as a percentage of each pot by the online poker room up to a pre-defined maximum amount.

Sit & Go and multi-table tournaments are not raked, but instead an entry fee is added to the cost of the buy-in for the tournament. The buy-in will go to the prize pool and the entry fee goes to the online poker room.

BookMaker Poker operates a "no flop, no drop" policy. This means that BookMaker Poker does not deduct rake from any community card poker game like online Texas Hold'em poker when no flop is dealt i.e. all players fold before the flop.

The house charges a commission or "rake" as a percentage of the total pot won at the end of each hand. The rake is calculated based on the number of players in the hand, and the size of the pot. The commission (rake) is 5% and capped to a maximum of $3.
