Our rake is structured to make it possible to succeed at all stakes. Every player should have the opportunity to use their skill to pursue their poker goals.
In case you are new to poker, or unfamiliar with the concept, the “rake” is the small amount of money that is taken out of each pot and goes to the house. It is a fixed percentage, and is almost always capped at a certain point. For our exact percentages and caps, please refer to the tables at the bottom of this page.
An important aspect of maintaining a healthy poker economy is the ability to give some of the collected rake back to the players. This helps create a poker environment with fun and beatable games.
At Run It Once Poker, we are committed to giving back an enormous amount of the rake directly to the players: 30% to all players through Splash The Pot, and up to a 45% through our Legends program, for up to 75% total rakeback!
With 30% of collected rake put back on the cash game tables via Splash the Pot, all players have an equal and fair chance of benefiting from our generous rakeback feature. For more information on how it works, please visit our Splash the Pot section. Note: Splash the Pot is not active in SNG Select game types.
If you decide to move your gameplay to Run It Once Poker, we think you should be rewarded. That’s why as you play, you will earn points as part of our Legends program. The more you play, the more you earn, and the more you rise through the ranks towards 45% rakeback in addition to Splash The Pot. For more information on how it works, please visit our Legends page.
Rakeback through Splash The Pot and Legends is just the beginning. Our players can earn even more rewards through promotions like streamR and by taking advantage of our First Deposit Bonus.
