Special games table rake
Here you can find rake structures for special games available in your region.
Please note that in Germany we charge an extra 25% rake on certain cash game pots as outlined in the table below.
For example, if there is a $0.01/$0.02 Swap Hold’em hand with a pot of $0.90 we initially apply the rake of 3.50% ($0.03 after rounding half to even) and then multiply this value by 1.25 giving us a final rake of $0.04 once the round half to even rule is applied once again.
