As compared with other mainstream poker rooms, RedKings does not use any classical rake calculation methods. Instead, as part of Microgaming Poker Network, RedKings has also migrated to True Value Rake method, which has been introduced by MPN to improve the ecology of the network and add more incentives for recreational players.

 

How does True Value Rake work?

Basically, TVR or actual rake is a redistribution rake method which diminishes the rake amount for winning players and increases it for losing ones. Without any straightforward formula being released, it has been noticed on a decent sample that for winning players, TVR is less than real rake disclosed by poker trackers such as Holdem Manager 2 or PokerTracker 4, while for recreational players it can go above 100%. There are many fluctuations depending on several factors, but this does not affect players’ rakeback at all since all flat rakeback, bonuses and promotions are calculated from Weighted Contributed Rake. However, affiliates are still paid from True Value Rake, so it does have an impact on their earnings. 

 

Texas Holdem and Omaha Rake Structure

Microgaming Poker Network, also known as MPN, charges between 2.5% and 5% rake or €0.01 for every €0.20 in the pot. Rake Cap Values fluctuate depending on the stakes and number of players. Below you have the exact rake charged for each kind of situation.

 

Stakes	Rake Percentage	Rake Cap (maximum rake)
		2 Players	3 - 4 Players	5 - 9 Players
€0.01/€0.02	2.5% - 5%	€0.02	€0.04	€0.06
€0.02/€0.04	2.5% - 5%	€0.04	€0.08	€0.12
€0.05/€0.10	2.5% - 5%	€0.10	€0.20	€0.30
€0.10/€0.20	2.5% - 5%	€0.20	€0.40	€0.60
€0.25/€0.50	2.5% - 5%	€0.50	€1	€1.50
€0.50/€1	2.5% - 5%	€1	€2	€3
€1/€2 +	2.5% - 5%	€2	€3	€3

Note: MPN charges €0.01 rake per each pot of €0.20. Therefore, this means that for a pot of €0.39 only €0.01 is charged as rake. Also, no rake is taken from pots of €0.19 or less. So in parcentages, the rake fluctuates between 2.5% and 5%.

 

MTT and SNG Fees 

For tournaments and sit and gos, RedKings charges on average 5% for SNGs and about 10% for MTTs. Of course, to know the exact amounts paid, you need to check the lobby before registering into your preferred tournament.
