888 Poker Rake Structure
Like most other online poker rooms, 888 Poker does not charge a rake if the hand doesn't go to the flop. If you "raise and take it", no rake is taken from the pot.
Cash Game Rake
Cash game rake ranges 1% - 6.25% based on the type of game played and the number of players dealt into a hand. Below is a breakdown of the rake for fixed limit games, no limit and pot limit games, and heads-up games.

Tournament Rake
Multi-table tournaments and sit & go rake is charged as a "fee" and is included in the buy-in information. Tournament rake is usually up to 10% of the buy-in.
For example, if you are playing in a multi-table tournament that is listed as $20+2, $20 goes towards the prizepool and $2 is the rake paid to the house as an entry fee.
Rake Method
888 Poker uses the "weighed contributed" calculation method. In each hand, you are credited with contributing a proportion of the rake according to how much your contributed to the pot. You will receive the total rewards points given for the pot based on the percentage contributed.
