PokerStars Poker Table Rake

The rake is defined below for each game which we spread. We do not charge rake if there isn't a flop ("no flop, no drop").

Heads-Up: rake will be collected on '1-on-1' tables at a rate of $0.05 rake per $1.00 in the pot, up to a maximum of $0.50 rake per hand. Please note that the 'Heads-Up' rake schedule only applies at designated '1-on-1' tables, not for heads-up play at tables which seat more players.

Mixed games have parts of the game rotation which are Fixed Limit, and other parts which are No Limit and/or Pot Limit. Examples include 8-Game, Hold'em Mixed and Omaha Hi/Lo Mixed.  Hands played at these tables are raked according to the type of game dealt in that particular hand.

Please note that HORSE and HOSE mixed games include only Limit games in the rotation, and therefore will be raked according to the Fixed Limit structures.

‘Number of players’ in the tables below refers to the players who were dealt into that particular hand, not the number seated at the table.
