I used to play in unraked home games with mostly the same bunch of guys. There were never "tips" given.
I generally showed up with a cigar for the host.
Some occasionally brought a bottle for the host.
We have gotten together for a restaurant gift card for the host to take his wife out.
That being said, when in Rome... if the majority of the winners are giving a portion of their winnings back to the host at the end, ask them (and be prepared to adjust for a poker player answer).
Kinda like what some players say they would do if they won a Jackpot vs what they actually do with cash in hand
I think there is a chance that the winners that don't are relegated down a tier on the call list. But again that depends on the game.
If I had to put a number out there... I'd say 10% of my post-game winnings would be a starting point. Also worth taking into account the rake and the benefits to playing (food, drink, security, etc.).
