Why do some sites charge more% rake on micros than Low+???????
With the majority of players having micro/low bankrolls would it not make sense for sites which are trying to increase their membership to charge an even rake across the board to encourage more play?
My current site struggles to keep a decent flow of players at micro level and I think this is the main problem. If they charged the same rake for micros as they do for other levels I am certain their numbers would increase and less players would leave their site.
Since April I have played nearly 500 micro sng or mtts and so double rake has cost me $50!!! At micro level this would have made a difference to my overall winnings and I would not be leaving them.
Of course there is an exception to the rule... One site charges 50% for micro sngs and never seems to slow down on the amount of players willing to play here!
I personally think 15% should be the max rake a decent site should be looking to take at micro level.
This would give them a good return, encourage new players to join and regs to stay.
I think it would also increase the amount of multi tablers which again would mean more rake for them.
Their main argument seems to be that it costs them more to account for high levels of micro games but this seems like an excuse to me.
Yes if there are more games played then there would be more acounting to be done but as all the calculations are done by computer I cannot see how this is costing them more than around 1% rake increase.
I would be interested to know what other micro players think.
How much rake are you willing to spend?
Have you looked at how the rake has effected your br?
Would you move site if a new site offered 10% rake at micro level?
Quality of the software
