Merge Gaming Online Poker Lowers Fixed Limit Rake

Merge Gaming Lowers Fixed Limit Rake

Fixed limit online poker players celebrated this morning as Merge Gaming lowered the rake on all of their limit games. Fixed limit players have been complaining about rake in their games ever since Merge Gaming became a leader in U.S. online poker in April 2011. The previous rake structure took $.01 for every $.20 in the pot. Most limits up to 1/2 had a $1 rake cap. All higher games had a $3 max rake.

The new rake structure caps the rake at lower limit games at as little as $.01 with a $3 cap not used until $3/$6. The rake percent at limits $.50/$1 and lower is now 4.5%. Rake at $1/$2 is 4% and up to $5/$10 is only 3%. Higher limits are less than 3%. Short handed games also received a large rake reduction to as little as 2%.

During the discussions of this rake change, some had stated that only Texas Hold'em would be included in the rake change. That was not the case. All Omaha, Stud, Draw, and mixed games are included in the new fixed limit rake formula.

This will lower player's rakeback and rake race standings but in the long run it is better because less rake will be paid. This greatly increases the chances of a win and will keep players in the game longer. This is great news for all fixed limit players and will hopefully expand the liquidity at fixed limit games on Merge Gaming.
