What is a "Rake", and what is Wingows Poker’s rake Structure?
When playing Poker, you are playing against other poker players, and not against the house, as you would in a casino. Compensation to the Poker Room for hosting the tables comes in the form of a “Rake”. The rake is roughly about 5% of the pot size in Money Ring Games, but never exceeds $3.00. See the Rake Structure Chart for a detailed breakdown.

How do I join a ‘Sit & Go’ Tournament?
Navigate your way through the Game Console and open the ‘Sit & Go’ room. Find a table that has a status of “Registering”. Double click that table and find a seat. As soon as enough players register, the game will begin.

Is there a minimum buy-in for each game?
The minimum buy-in at all limits is ten times the minimum bet for the game. For example, in a $1/$2 game, the minimum buy-in is $10.

It occasionally occurs that due to reasons beyond the player’s control, they are unable to act on their hand in time. When a player has invested money in a hand and becomes disconnected, their hand will be folded.
