When you play poker at bet365, you are playing against other players, not against the house. Rake is the small fee taken from the pot for hosting the game.
The pot is the total amount of money players are competing to win in a hand.
Rake is only taken when a flop is dealt. The flop is the first three community cards dealt face up in the centre of the table.
If the hand ends before the flop is dealt, no rake will be taken. This is known as our “no flop, no drop” policy.
