Bounty Hunter MTT rake

Unknown

Why are <£5 Bounty Hunter's raked at 15% instead of the normal 10%? I always thought the extra money on the buyin was related to a greater share going to the head prize fund, but all the MTT windows say £5+0.75.

All other £5 tournaments are raked 10%. Lack of consistency in buyin/rake ratio is not good.

Gets a +1 from me, but this has been raised many times before to no effect.

Supply and demand is in play here. I think 10% would be more reasonable and would make Sky competitive with other sites, but these tournaments continue to be very popular and attract plenty of runners despite the rake. While that continues I think a reduction is unlikely.

Bizzarely the £3.00 £150 gtd Bounty Hunters at 9-45 and 10-45 each morning are raked at only 10%, unsurprisingly they are well supported.

Suppply and demand should not be taken into consideration at all here. The ethos of 'charging more for games that are more popular' is ridiculous and I'm very disappointed to see it.

It's only recently I have been playing as low as the £5 games for my BR challenge, everythng £20+ is raked at 10%.

I am surprised you you have not complained about rake at nl4 after seeing you playing there(as part of you challenge i suppose).7.5% but only if the pot is 40p(3p rake) 80p(6p rake) £1.20(9p rake) and so on.As those pots are the only ones divisible by 7.5% sky round up so most of the time it is nearer 8.5%-10% and at that level every penny counts.41p pot=3.075p rake at 7.5% round up to 4p rake=9.756% rake.

Been discussed here before if you are interested  cash games rake

Rake at NL4 is bad, yes, but at least its consistent.

Yeah consistent 99% pot's raked higher than sky say at nl4 nl8 nl10 lol.

I have thought this for a long time, and even posted about it on the micro stakes thread (The one where they were trying to get 4NL included in happy hour) The last answer from Sky, I think Tikay actually was simply that the games were popular so people would pay it. Supply and demand and all that.

Rediculous IMO, Sky has the best welcome bonus out of any site i've played on yet the worst rake, even the default 10% is above the 8% of the other sites. Basically they're going to attract new customers with the bonus but not gonna keep many of them with the extortionate rake.

And FWIW I have only ever played 6 of the £5.75 BHs and they were over 6 months ago, I just refuse to play them out of principle. Sorry for rambling but the inconsistencies in the already above standard rake pissses me off.
