Anyone know if the essence rake system applies to sit and goes at ongame?

Ive read in a few places that it doesn't, but its not mentioned that frequently...

Cash only.

Thx for the response, but how do you know?

I'd like to be 100% sure before I start playing.... not that I don't believe you but some proof would be very appreciated.

There is nothing specific saying that it only applies to cash, reading Betsafe explanation of their points system.

Also their support basically ignored my question, and copy pasted their explanation on their website....

Betfair makes it very clear....

I wonder if its possible that Betsafe has a different essence system than Betfair.... I'd like confirmation from betsafe, Ill report back.

This information is harder to find than it should be ~_~

All of the skins use the same formula. The network pays the skins based on this formula that only the insiders at Ongame know the details of, and the skins kick back to affiliates and players. It only affects cash games, all tournaments are excluded. There is no skill penalty for tournaments.

As stated above, Essence only applies to cash games. If the entry fee for a tourney or SNG is $10 + $1, then the user will be deemed to have paid $1 in rake.

Hope this helps,

Jamie
