Reduce rake for DYMs. +1 it if agree

Please reduce the rake for DYMs to about 5% in line with HU stts, pokerstars did it after getting loads of requests from players and a 2+2 campain and realizing they award prizes like HU.
 
The ROIs for DYMs are really small even for the best players and reducing the rake to 5% form 10% will increase alot of winning players ROIs by more than 100% and turn alot of losing/breakeven players into winners.

I just think 10% rake for DYM stts is unfair and should be brought into line with heads up sitngos.

    Thats a very good point with traditional sngs the rake as a proportion of the prizes is much lower and doesmt affect roi as much.

    Particularly at the lower levels as the rake is higher. I've been playing the £2 DYM's recently & the rake on those is 25p

    Too right, 10% is excessive.  Also bring the smaller DYM's Into line with the other DYMs.  Why should low stakes players have to pay a higher percentage than the higher stake players?

    Totally agree OP

    The fact that we are paying 10% rake for these shows a hugh inconsistency in skypokers sitngo rake structure.
    Half the players double there money and half losers there buy in exactly like a Heads up game that charges only 5% juice.
    I remember playing on stars when they ran double or nothing STTs and charged 10% rake then after a few complaints from players they reduced it in-line with heads-up rake and I think skypoker should follow there good example.
    Paying 10% rake is a rip and I wont play them for that reason reduce them to 5% and I'll play them all the time.

    Come on skypoker, do the right thing and get the rake down in DYM.

    In what way have you "been there done that"? It Dosn't make sence.

    If enougth players voice there opinion on the forum, like in threads like  these and send emails off to skypoker then there is a chance that skypoker lisens and reasons with its customers and players can get a  fairer deal on there DYM tournies.

    Hi guys,

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Unfortunately, we cannot reduce the rake here as it would not be viable to us. At the end of the day, we are a business and we need to ensure that we don't lose money and, in this case, that means the rake.

    We regularly review our tables, however, so if we can find a way round this, rest assured it will change.

    Thanks again,
    Jordan

    Thanks for the response Jordan.

    However as a slight side issue, can you tell me why some of the lower level DYM games charge more than 10% rake? Surely the £2 games should be £2 + 20p but they're £2 + 25p. I know it's only 5p but that's not the point plus it all adds up over time. People play this level of game for a reason so is there any chance that these can be brought into line?
