GGPoker rake structure

GGPoker has a 5% rake structure, but don't worry, there is a cap that varies between 0.5bb and 2bb to protect your bankroll.

If you are a 3-bet preflop player, you will also contribute to the rake, but only on pots over 2.5BB.

In tournaments and Spin & Gold, the rates are pretty standard, around 10% plus 0.5% for certain events. However, in Spin & Gold, the rake is 7%. And if you find yourself at a Rush & Cash table that is not full, there is no rake!
