Bounty Hunter MTT rake

Why are <£5 Bounty Hunter's raked at 15% instead of the normal 10%? I always thought the extra money on the buyin was related to a greater share going to the head prize fund, but all the MTT windows say £5+0.75.

All other £5 tournaments are raked 10%. Lack of consistency in buyin/rake ratio is not good.

    Gets a +1 from me, but this has been raised many times before to no effect.

    Supply and demand is in play here. I think 10% would be more reasonable and would make Sky competitive with other sites, but these tournaments continue to be very popular and attract plenty of runners despite the rake. While that continues I think a reduction is unlikely.

    Bizzarely the £3.00 £150 gtd Bounty Hunters at 9-45 and 10-45 each morning are raked at only 10%, unsurprisingly they are well supported.

    Suppply and demand should not be taken into consideration at all here. The ethos of 'charging more for games that are more popular' is ridiculous and I'm very disappointed to see it.
