Rake Structure

Rake definition & structure

InterPoker (and almost every other poker venue and site) makes money by collecting a set percentage of the total pot at the end of every hand. This is called "rake", and is essentially what you pay us to play on our site.

We operate a No Flop - No Drop policy, meaning that we will not take any rake from hands that do not reach the flop.

So how does it work?

For Single and Multi table tournaments - the fee can be up to 10% of the buy in. For example the fee to enter a €5 buy in tournament is most likely to be around €0.50.

For cash games - The rake is calculated by both the size of the pot and the number of players in the game. Here is how the number of players affects the rake taken:

Game type Table stakes, €/£/$/YTL Players Rake, €/£/$/YTL Max rake, €/£/$/YTL
Micro 2c NL/PL 0.02 / 0.04 Any 0.01 every 0.10 in the pot 3.00
No limit/ Pot limit 0.05/0.10 Any 0.01 for every 0.20 in the pot 3.00
No limit/ Pot limit 0.12/0.25 - 25/50 Any 0.05 for every 1 in the pot 3.00
No limit/ Pot limit 50/100 and up 2-3 0.05 for every 1 in the pot 2.00
No limit/ Pot limit 50/100 and up 4-10 0.05 for every 1 in the pot 5.00
Fixed limit 0.10/0.20 Any 0.01 for every 0.20 in the pot 1.50
Fixed limit 0.25/0.50 Any 0.05 for every 1 in the pot 1.50
Fixed limit 0.50/1 - 1/2 Any 0.25 for every 5 in the pot 1.50
Fixed limit 2/4 - 10/20 Any 0.25 for every 5 in the pot 3.00
Fixed limit 15/30 - 50/100 Any 0.50 when the pot reaches 30,40,50,70,85,100, max 3.00
Fixed limit 100/200 and up 2-3 1 for every 100 in the pot 2.00
Fixed limit 100/200 and up 4-10 1 for every 100 in the pot 5.00

The rake deduction is always done in the local table currency; for a table played in USD, the rake would be taken in USD equivalent to the above manner.
