Rake, Blind Structure and Tournament Entry Fees
What is rake?
Rather than charging you membership or subscription fees, we take a small percentage of the pot, called rake.
How do we calculate it?
This table shows what the total rake will be in one of your games. These rake structures are consistent across all game variations (Pot Limit, No Limit and Limit).

The rake you have generated is proportional to the percentage you contributed to the pot. To be eligible for rake on a hand, you must have been dealt cards, contributed to the pot and the game must generate at least €0.01 of rake for you.
What about tournament entry fees?
To ensure you win as much money as possible in your tournament games, there is an entry fee rather than rake on each hand. Fees vary depending on the buy-in and are typically between 0% and 20% of the buy-in.
All tournament fees are displayed on the buy-in screen and all transactions, including rake, are in €.
Tournament blind structures
Please check the tournament lobby for full details of the blind structure for a specific tournament.
Multi-table tournaments will have levels ranging from 3 minutes to 20 minutes. Typically, levels will be 15 minutes for regular tournaments, 10 minutes for freerolls and qualifiers, and 5 minutes for speed/turbo. These structures and schedules are subject to change.
In addition to any rules associated with a specific tournament or promotion, our standard tournament rules apply to all tournaments.
