True, but a lot of the euro sites have higher rb/better bonuses than USD sites, and the games are often softer, so it can be worth it.

Rake is usually capped at 3 "units". $3 is a lot less than 3 euros. Of course this depends on the games you are playing but you are paying a lot more in euros that's for sure.

The rake isn't necessarily 60% higher, but the cap is, because you pay up to 3 euro rake per pot instead of $3.

Some don't like playing in € because it means they have to play at lower stakes.
Someone with 20 buyins for USD 400nl won't be able to safely play €400nl, they will have to move down to 200nl. €3 coming off a €400 pot at 200nl is more then $3 taken from a $800 pot at 400nl.

With that said if there was a site that only used € currency the rake issue wouldn't even be a concern.

If they still capped at 3 units, yes, it would.

are online games softer with 6k peoples on sites with sportsbeting and online casino.... then FTP, stars???
i'm thinking about unibet(i dont know about promotions, rakeback) and devilfish ( 30%++ rakeback , reload bonus, first bonus, but less peoples).. .

i think there is way more benefits playing in €€?? i' dont have any experiances on playing smaller sites...

i know i ll have some problems with transfer from $ to € because i ll have to play lower then normal... but in long term i believe it's +++EV??

Wait a minute...you mean your money is in US $ but you want to play in Euros? Or have I misunderstood?

Ummm...well this whole thread makes NO sense now. Why are you looking to only play in Euros? You're going to pay currency exchange vig, be limited as to where you can play, and possibly pay more rake, depending on the site.

Playing in currency worth more per unit than USD costs you more rake.

I would like to find an online casino that spreads 1000/2000 Random South American Peso, (equivalent to 5/10 USD) and rake 3 peso's each hand.

Boss does have Turkish lira games, which is worth about .83$, so you basically play 20% less rake in those games. They aren't all that popular though.

Why anyone would play the Euro games on Boss, especially when the TRY games are offered. Playing a .5/1 Euro, is the same stacks exactly as 1/2 TRY but you pay about 1/2 the rake.

Yea it always tilted me hard when I was playing at Boss Network. Lately most of the games were played in euros, then $ then only a few tables of TRY and on top of that some people play the £ tables too! Sure I would play the tables with most fish but why would anyone with some brain start £ or euro tables?

how is the rake calculated at boss? Is it taken in euros at euro tables and dollars at dollar tables meaning you pay more because the maximum rake is bigger at euro tables or something?

The cardroom2 (a boss skin) document about rake simply states that there's a $3 max rake. It doesn't discuss currency at all.

I can't believe I didn't notice this before. Rake is capped at 3 euro on b2b. Is the normal cap $3 on tilt/stars?

Rake on BOSS is capped at 3 units of the currency you play in. So if you play on a dollars table it's capped at 3 dollars, if you play at a Euro table it's capped at 3 euros.

Same at Crypto when I last played there (last year).
