Official tables checked on October 20, 2026. In big blinds, dollar and euro tables compare the same way. Rakeback returns part of the rake you paid: the last column shows what the cap on a hand costs you by the end of the month.

How we compare

We use each room’s official cash game table: the share of the pot it takes and the cap per hand, which changes with the stakes and the number of players. The comparison uses a 6-handed No-Limit Hold’em hand at NL50. The rakeback is the one from our deal, paid every month; at rooms without rakeback, the cap stays as it is.

Percentage or cap: which matters more

At low stakes, many pots never reach the cap, so the percentage decides what you pay. At higher stakes, big pots hit the cap more often, and the cap sets the cost. That is why the table below shows each room’s cap from NL10 to NL1000.

Rake and rakeback together

What you really pay is the rake minus the rakeback. A room with a slightly higher cap and more rakeback can end up cheaper by the end of the month. To run the numbers with your own volume, use the rakeback calculator.

Rake compared: the cap per hand at each room

The most each room can take from a 6-player No-Limit Hold'em hand, according to its official table. The lower the cap, the more money stays with the players.

Frequently asked questions

Which poker site has the lowest rake?

Top of our ranking: Betsson Poker and Betsafe Poker, at 3.6 BB per hand after the rakeback from our deal (the cap on a 6-handed hand at NL50). The table on this page shows every room, from the cheapest to the most expensive.

What is a rake cap?

It is the most a room takes from a single hand, however big the pot. With 5% rake and a 6 BB cap, the cap kicks in once the pot passes 120 BB.

Does rakeback lower the rake?

Yes. Rakeback returns part of the rake you paid. With 40% rakeback, a 6 BB cap costs you 3.6 BB by the end of the month.

Why does the ranking use big blinds?

Because some rooms run tables in dollars and others in euros. In big blinds, the rake on a hand at NL50 compares the same way in both currencies.
