The Rake Issue

[WSOP_Noob]

It's pretty obvious that WSOP is taking a rake from each hand. They do this, obviously, to make purchased chips more valuable. This is all fine and good but don't they have a legal obligation to disclose this information? Even the gambling sites that aren't under US jurisdiction (at least the ones still running) disclose this information. Shouldn't Playdom start to disclose that they take a rake?

Can you provide some screen shots as examples? I am not aware of this but am interested in what you see.

I noticed the rake back as well , Master when you sit in a room and you go all in with 100 and the other players calls with 100 k you dont win 100k you end up winning like 98k or something like that the higher stakes take alot more back after your wins

A bad beat jack pot would be nice with all the chips it takes back from every player

It happens to quickly to get a screenshot. You just have to do what J D says and you will see. Also, it's curious that sit'n'go's charge a bounty. I don't think other free sites on Facebook charge a bounty. That's something the live events and the gambling sites do so whatever... But yeah, they definitely do it limit the supply of chips in circulation therefore increasing the value of purchased chips. I understand that but shouldn't they disclose that?

This game is free, it's only optional to buy chips. No disclosure needed, we do not push players to buy chips.


Also, if there is a rake, it's so small I wouldn't even care for the most part. You guys should be good enough poker players to not mind losing a fraction of your chip stack.

I will 2nd to that...If you win, few% is not a bid deal...and if you lose it means even less
