Does anybody know if poker on stake counts towards whatever progress right now?
I thinkI recently got some rake back for playing poker but I am not sure if there is also the wager, or some part of it, calculated into the weekly wager for drops/weekly bonus/tickets and so on.
Did you ask Eddie about it today? Was there any explanation from him? I just asked Stake live support team about it, and here is the response from them
They don't even know anything exactly. But the support team have confirmed that wager on Poker game counts on each section. Moreover, the house edge of the poker game isn't mentioned on the website. We have no way to verify how much we are getting for the poker game wager.
I tried to ask but I think my questions went down between the countless donation seeking people in the chat, haha. So unfortunately I couldn't get an answer.
I think house edge wise it's about 5% on cash game (should be capped though), I think that's round about the % when you pay rake cause when it was an unraised hand at 0.1/0.2 and 0.40 in the pot the winner got 0.38.
Tournaments have an "house edge" (rake) of 10% because of the participation fee next to the buyin.
So rake is basically the same as most poker rooms online.
