Rake Structure
In a game of poker, 'rake' means a certain fee that an online poker platform charges from the player for hosting a poker game. It is a small percentage of the amount of money taken from the pot in cash games. In tournaments, the rake is collected from the buy-in fees. The rake is the primary source of income that online poker rooms make from poker games.
Since Poker is a player vs player game, the hosting platform does not bet against its players. Therefore, rake is the primary source in poker games to generate revenue.
The following tables outline typical rake structures for popular poker variants across different stake levels:
