What are Raked Hands?
Raked hands are when a small amount is removed from the pot of real money ring games as a fee to use the poker server. Our rake chart shows how we rake our games. When playing, if a small amount of the pot is moved to the left of the board cards then a rake has been taken. You will only be counted in a raked hand if you have contributed to the pot (bet or posted a blind). We also have a "No flop, No drop" policy, whereby we take no rake if the hand ends before the flop.
