Rake refers to the percentage of every pot which is taken out by the dealer during the hand. The rake is how a cardroom makes an income and the amount of rake is dependent on the individual room. The rake at Bovada is one of the lowest of any online poker room at 5% to a maximum of $4. Typical land-based poker room rakes are 10% to a maximum of $5 and in some cases are even higher.
