Been playing the $5 minimum tables, ignoring 21+3 and Perfect Pairs. Curious if anyone tracks side-bet ROI long-term. House edge on 21+3 is brutal on paper but the variance keeps people coming back.
Just noticed BetOnline quietly bumped their poker rake cap from 5% to 6% across all cash game tables. Been playing $1/$2 NL there for months and the rake was capped at $3 per hand (5% of $60 pot). Now seeing $3.60 taken from $60+ pots.
No email notification, no announcement in their poker client. Found out when I was reviewing my session stats and the numbers didn't add up. Called support and they confirmed the change went live November 15th.
Anyone else catch this? That extra 1% really adds up over volume. Considering moving my action elsewhere if other sites have better structures.
