Poker Rakes Are No More
Have you ever tried to figure out how much money the online casino poker room gets from you with their rake schedule? If not, then this article is a perfect way for you to calculate exactly how much you could be saving playing your favorite version of poker. Let's start with the basic principals of the rake schedule in online casino poker rooms. In general, online casino sites take about 10% from every winning pot up to $3, rounded of to the nearest $0.25. That means for a limit $1/$2 poker table, where the average pot is around $12, the online casino makes $1.25, and you make $10.75.
Now let's figure out how much money you are losing every month to the online casino poker room. Assuming you win, on average, 50 pots a month, and if you are a big fan of the poker room, than this is probably a low estimate, the online casino makes a total of $62.50 off of your winnings. That means that instead of bringing in $600 in winnings, you are only bringing in $537.50… not significant enough for you?
How much do you think you lose in an entire year? Would you believe $750? Does that seem significant to you now? Yeah, we thought so. The moral of this story is, for all you poker fans, is to find out which sites do not charge a rake schedule. There are quite a few of them out there in the online casino world, and it probably will not be too difficult to find them. Don't lose out $750 that you could use to play more hands of poker, or try out different games at the online casino, such as blackjack, baccarat and yes, even video poker.
