Not by a long shot .... Raising rake generally does not protect players.
1. If a site wants to "protect" losing players, it could create "special" tables with access restricted to losing players only.
Losing players could then choose whether to play at the "special table" or venture out into the general tables. (Of course such a system could still be gamed, but it doesn't impose a higher fee for service indiscriminately.)
2. Alternatively, a site could give better rakeback to losing players than to winning players, if the goalis to protect losing players financially.
