Sorry if it is a repost.

Ongame did change their rake structure lately.

On a 20.10$ pot, there was 1.34$ in rake. So my friend did write to EuroPoker, asking them why he got 6.67% rake instead of 5%.

Here is the answer:
Dear Mr. XYZ,

Best Regards
Sebastian Campos

Link still say that the rake is 5%.

It's kind of shady to higher the rake from 5% to 6.67% without any notice, without changing their rake structure information on the website...
Most players wont even notice the change.....

I dont know if all limits are affected by this change, as the rake structure isnt updated yet.

But on that particular pot, this was a PLO game with a bigblind of 0.10$.

on the bwin page it states that only NL/PL games up to $0.05/$0.10 are raked with 1 Cent per 15c in the pot.

no idea if this is new or up to date though

Rake Structures

Rake Structures

The EuroPoker rake structure is fair and easy to understand.

Key features:

The rake percentage of the pot size never exceeds 5%

The maximum rake (rake cap) never exceeds $3.

The heads-up rake cap is equal to $1.

No rake is charged when the flop is not seen (�no flop no drop�).

Rake Structure

Fixed Limit Rake

Lower than $0.50/1.00 Rake = $0.05 per $1.00 Maximum rake: $0.50

$0.50/$1.00 to $2.00/$4.00 Rake = $0.05 per $1.00

Higher than $2.00/4.00 Rake = $0.25 per $5.00

Pot/No Limit Rake

$0.25/$0.5 or lower Rake = $0.05 per $1.00

Higher than $0.25/$0.5 Rake = $0.05 per $1.00

Max Rake

Maximum rake rules for all game types are (if nothing else is stated):

2 players $1.00 max rake

3-4 players $2.00 max rake

5+ players $3.00 max rake

Note: No rake is charged if there is no flop (�no flop no drop�)

plo15 seems to be 5%
Seems like the 6.67% is for plo10 and probably lower

Typical. Remove the $1.50 rake cap and increase the rake from 1c/20c to 1c/15c, never inform the customers. Only at Ongame.

Nah, that is normal, pretty much whenever you complain anything money wise you get a few of those.
I see it as an insult. Either compensate me in full or dont. Not to mention those are rather useless to me anyway at least give me CF tenners so I can have some fun for 30 seconds. So whenever I feel they are shorting me for anything or not telling me in advance what they should have told me, I simply withdraw everything.
Then in a week or so I get a mail, "is everything all right", "are you not satisfied with something", etc. Then I tell them exactly what I think, not that I feel like they care.
But at least I feel better about spending couple of Ks of rake somewhere where they actually care about what players think, or at least not change everything for the worst every couple of weeks.
