12. How do poker sites make money?
Poker sites make money primarily through rake and tournament fees. Online poker rooms do not bet against players so there is no fear that the poker room is doing something illegal for their own benefit. They do charge players a small fee to use the poker server. Such fees include rake collected from the pot after each ring game hand. Also, they collect a small portion of a tournament entry fee. The rake distribution is different from one poker site to the next. Each poker room has its own rake schedule to determine how much rake is removed from the pot. Some sites will not collect a rake if everyone folds before the flop takes place. Also, most sites reduce the rake when games are short-handed (i.e. 2 players playing head-to-head). Tournament entry fees typically cap at 10%.

Can't imagine the amount of sleepless nights you're gonna have over the AWOL 12p.
Shame on you Sky.
Awaits the 'can't believe Sky charge 10% to play a tournament' thread.
Please please pleasssssssssse let me know how you get on with the legal action.
Please.
Threatening to take Sky to court over 12p......God I love the forum sometimes.
Just need someone to start a thread complaining their rewards widget is 35p out and its a full house.
your missing the point m8.......two players win a hand and lose...and sky wins..
God bless you Durie.
Unless they take more than the proper amount, it's not "robbing". You play poker voluntarily with the knowledge that split pots will be raked. You agree to this plus tons of other things when you sit down.
Rake on split pots is charged in almost every online & live casino in the land and you should always equip yourself with the knowledge of the rules before sitting down at the table.
On a side note - If a 3rd player had invested money in the pot/hand then in this situation you may not have made a loss in the hand, so it's always worth being vigilant to each +EV or -EV situation.
A classic example would be a 3 way all-in QQ v QQ v JJ - The pot splits but QQ v QQ end up in profit even after rake - We can't really expect one rule for one type of hand & one rule for another.
looking forward to seeing you at the next spt..........smart as.....
Think Hitman leads it, followed by Maxally, Bigbluster, Belsibub, Larson7, igimc, Devonfish....you can prop up the rear if you want.
Which is ironic, as you come across as a total bum.
No it's fine, I insist. You're welcome.
I have had quite a few split pots just lately...well almost enough for a glass of lemonade anyway lol
will how smart you are when we come face to face.....
