Rake

Every poker company in the world charges a ‘rake’ in order to cover the cost of running the room. Anytime you play for real money there will be a small amount of rake taken.

Tournament Rake: Whenever you enter a real money tournament on Poker Heaven you pay a fee. This fee is represented by a ‘+’ followed by a numerical amount. For example, if you enter a tournament for €10+€1 then the €1 will be considered your rake.

Cash Rake: When playing a cash game rake is generated if you stay in the hand after the flop. A small percentage of the pot will then be taken and displayed in the area highlighted in the image below.

This rake is capped at 5% of the total pot. The full rake breakdowns for the various different levels of play are here:
