Poker Guide

Day 2 after the launch of the new online gambling law in France and open real money poker rooms. ‘Fr’.

Yesterday we saw as in the first days PokerStars.fr made magic with the commission charged in the cash games . Today we read in the French forum of communication ClubPoker a hall manager apologizing for the bugs attributable to the first day of an update.

The rake structure has changed effective for both cash games to tournaments, largely to meet the legal requirements (particularly with the rake preflop).
Personally, I’ll take care of dissatisfaction with the program, tournament structure and the various bugs inherent in a massive release.

PokerStars.fr also published yesterday finally to your table rake cash games.

For hands that did not reach the flop will retire a 2% of the rake of the pot up to a maximum of 1 €. In the hands after the flop will be charged a fee of 0,01 € for each € 0.13 in the pot, that is, A rake of 7.7 %.

The rake cap is determined by the level of play and the number of players who are dealt cards in each hand. 0,01 / 0,02 € et 0,02 / € 0.05 for 2 players hands with the maximum rake is 1,50 €. Hand with 3 to 9 players the maximum rake is 2 €.

For levels 0.05 / € 0.10 and above there are three sections according to the number of players: 2 (1.50 € max rake.) 3-4 players (2.50 €) and 5-9 players (3 , 50 €).

Different poker rooms have French publishing their rakes when surprise appeared in EverestPoker.fr .

On the website with the rates specified EverestPoker.fr rake it will not retain the house rake complete hand before the flop, following the policy “No Flop – No Drop” . We do not know how to manage this issue with the French authorities since it seemed that the collection of raked hands without flop was mandatory under the rules.

It also establishes a fixed percentage of rake of 5% for all levels below NL800 and rake of 4% for NL1000 . (Edit: I just check from NL1000 would be more profitable than play in Everest.fr Everest.com, since in the international room, the rake is 5% or more also NL1000).

The rake ceilings are also lower than those of PokerStars for all levels.

An extreme example. In a cash desk of NL10 6 players, the rake would Everest.fr up € 0.75 while in the cap would be PokerStars.fr € 3.50.

The overall maximum rake at Everest for full ring No Limit would be at 0.75 € (NL10 and under), 1 € (NL25), 2 € (NL50 and NL100) and 3 € (from NL200).

As we read in the French forum PokerNews.fr, where catches have been posted rake boards of the chambers in Winamax also rake is 5% (preflop and postflop), as in Bwin, BetClick or Sajo .

That is, a day, the rake of PokerStars.fr is considerably higher than the rest of their competence .

This has resulted in an organized protest campaign against PokerStars.fr French forums, the Board at this time algutina the most traffic because the funds PokerStars.com French players were transferred to the French account.

The rake war has broken out in France.

We see the development of this issue in the coming days.
