Why oh why are your rake fee's for tournaments/SNG's all over the place?

£5 + 25p fee

£5 + 50p fee

£5 + 75p fee

£2 + 30p fee

£2.20 + 20p fee

£2 + 25p fee

£1.05 + 10p fee

£1 + 15p fee


whilst the amounts are small the principle remains. Why are they all different percentages??

    There's a £5 sitngo/tourney with only a 25p rake? Sky obviously messed this one up :)
    Without knowing which are which in your examples I'm guessing the more popular formats ie bounty hunters have the higher rake.

    That one was a hyper HU SNG. There are all low stakes tourneys or SNG's. It just seems bizarre to me.

    HU SnGs always have 5% rake so that's why there will be £5.25s
    DYMs/Regular 6max SnGs have 10% rake so £5.50

    Higher % rake at micro stakes which just seems standard across the industry. No idea why they charge 75p on some £5 BHs though...

    I think it's simply because the people are willing to pay it.  I asked a while ago why are they charging 15% rake for BH's and yet the mini BH is 10%.  From what I remember I did not really get a logical answer.  There is also a BH @ £3.30 and another @ £2.30, go figure.....
