Party Poker Rake
Have you ever asked yourself: How does Party Poker make money? Where does my party poker rakeback equivalent come from? The thing is, Party Poker is a business and every business wants to earn money. But how does it work in this particular case. The answer is fairly simple. Party Poker takes a small commission fee from every real money pot in real money cash games and from every tournament entry. This fee is the Party Poker rake.
The Party Poker rake is usually 5% from every pot you play, up to a maximum of $3.0. To calculate the rake each player has contributed to the pot, Party Poker uses the deal method of calculating rake. Basically, the total amount of rake is divided by the number of players dealt in the hand and everybody gets the same amount of rake credited.
Party Poker rake and the dealt method is preferred by poker players who are playing on the tighter side. They get credited in every hand they are dealt in even if they don't contribute to the pot.
In terms of Party Poker Points, you will get 2 Party Points for every dollar in rake. If you are clearing a bonus, this makes the bonus worth 25% in rakeback.
