HOW WE RUN FEES

Why Our Fee Process Holds Up

We built the fee display system around one principle: you should never have to guess what a session costs before you sit. Every rake ceiling, entry charge, and tournament fee is published at the point of choice — on the table card, in the lobby filter, and in your account session history after the hand closes.

Pre-Seat Fee Disclosure

Rake percentages and caps are shown on the table card before you join. You confirm the cost before any chips move, not after the session ends.

Published Rake Ceilings

Every cash table has a maximum rake ceiling posted in the table info panel. The house never takes more than that ceiling regardless of pot size.

Session-Level Audit Trail

Your account logs each fee as a separate line item tied to the hand or round. If a figure looks off, the audit trail is already there in your history tab.

Two-Number Tournament Pricing

Tournament buy-ins display as prize-pool contribution plus entry fee separately — so you always know what portion goes to the prize pool versus the house.

pokerestocks Understand What Gets Charged and When

Understand What Gets Charged and When

Each game type carries its own fee logic. Poker tables run on a rake model — a small percentage pulled from each pot, capped at a published ceiling visible on the table info panel. Tournament formats charge a flat buy-in plus an entry fee shown as two separate numbers, for example 10+1, where the 1 goes directly to the house. Cash game

players in Charlotte and New York have asked us about rake caps specifically: that cap is displayed before you sit. Sit-and-go formats follow the same two-number structure. We post the exact rake or fee amount on every table card so you can check it before committing chips.

Play Fee Glossary: Terms Worth Knowing

These are the fee-related terms that show up most often in account questions. Each definition is written the way we actually use the term inside the platform — no jargon for its own sake.

01
What is rake?

Rake is the percentage the house takes from each pot in a cash poker game. It is capped at a published ceiling and deducted automatically before winnings are credited to your account.

02
What does rake cap mean?

A rake cap is the maximum dollar amount the house can take from a single pot, regardless of pot size. Once the cap is hit, no further rake is collected on that hand.

03
What is an entry fee in tournament poker?

The entry fee is the portion of your buy-in that goes to the house rather than the prize pool. It appears as the second number in a buy-in format like 10+1.

04
What is a buy-in?

A buy-in is the total amount required to enter a tournament or take a seat at a cash table. For tournaments it splits into prize-pool contribution plus entry fee.

05
What does no-rake mean on certain tables?

No-rake tables charge zero percentage from the pot. These tables typically offset costs through a fixed time charge or seat fee instead of per-pot collection.

06
What is a time charge or seat fee?

A time charge is a flat fee collected at fixed intervals from each seated player instead of taking rake per pot. It is common on higher-stakes cash tables.

Common Questions About Play Fees at pokerestocks

These questions come directly from account holders asking about how fees work before and after a session. Each answer reflects how the fee system actually operates on the platform.

The rake percentage and cap are on the table info card in the lobby. Select any cash table and the fee details appear before you click to join — no account action needed to view them.

Rake is taken from the pot automatically at the end of each hand. Your account balance updates to reflect the deduction, and the session log records each rake amount with a timestamp.

Yes. The lobby displays both numbers — prize-pool contribution and entry fee — as distinct figures. Your account receipt after registration also splits them onto separate lines.

No. Cash games use a percentage rake with a cap, tournaments use a flat entry fee, and some tables use a time charge instead. Each format's fee type is labeled clearly in the lobby filter.

Contact our team via live chat with your session ID. We pull the hand history, verify the rake applied, and correct any discrepancy directly to your account if the figures don't align.

Yes. Access to specific game formats and their associated fee structures depends on state law and eligible states. The lobby automatically shows formats available where you are located.
