Ladbrokes Poker takes less so that you can take more
7th January, 2010
Ladbrokes Poker announced on Tuesday 5th January that they have decided to change the way in which they calculate the amount of ‘Rake’ that will be paid to the poker operator.
As it stands, the contribution is calculated by how much an individual has added to the pot as opposed to the average a player has added to the pot.
This change is believed to be a much fairer way to calculate the Rake. This change will be taking place across the whole Microgaming Poker Network and intends to credit those players who deserve that extra cash! In addition, this method will mean that new individuals to the game do not lose a lot of money whilst they are learning, so offers more chance to perfect your poker skills!
A spokesman from Ladbrokes explained, “Ladbrokes are on a mission to 'bring poker to the people', to simplify and make online poker more accessible, to make it easier to learn and to develop one's skills and to make it fairer for players. Rake is something which is taken by all poker rooms, and here at Ladbrokes it's important that we use the fairest method, to suit all levels and types of player. It's also important to emphasise that this is a change to how rake is allocated, and that there will be no increase to the rake taken. This is a positive beginning to the New Year and I look forward to what will to be an exciting 2010 for Ladbrokes Poker and all our players."
A spokesman from Microgaming went on to say, "Microgaming is pleased to announce the adoption of the Weighted Contribution method of rake calculation to the Microgaming Poker Network (MPN) which will change the way in which rake is allocated. We believe that this will result in a fairer method of rake distribution and improve the game experience overall for the greater majority of poker players.”
Why not kick start your new year and experience ‘Poker to the People’ at Ladbrokes this 2010!
