In real money cash (ring) games The House (Paddy Power) earns its money by retaining a small portion of the pot. The amount that it retains depends on the number of Players participating and the table stakes, however not all real money hands are raked as we have a 'No Flop, No Drop' policy. If all betting position players fold before the community cards are dealt the house does not take a rake. See our how to play section for more details.
You can see the current rake in a game by clicking on the "?" in the upper right hand corner of a real money table.
The tables below show in detail how the rake is calculated.
Euro/GBP table rake is calculated at the exact same % rate as dollar tables
