Rake
Just like in a brick and mortar casino, a rake is removed from the pots of all real money ring game tables as a game host admin fee. The amount of the rake is based on two elements: game stakes and how many players were dealt cards for that hand (see chart below). Cake Poker strives to have a fair rake system and reward you for joining our tables, with Frequent Player Points and Gold Chips, as well our unique ring game reward program, Gold Cards.
Cake Poker has a no flop, no drop policy, meaning no rake is removed if game play completes before the flop.
The rake schedule listed below, shows specific rake removed on Fixed Limit and Pot & No Limit pots. As the amount differs by stakes and active players, be sure you are checking the correct schedule.
