Over at Natural8, there are two offers that we think you should be aware of. The first thing to tell you is that rake calculations in NLHE games have, for certain levels, been slashed by as much as a stunning 50%.

Secondly, the poker room has added some extra value to their guaranteed tournaments and leaderboard which you can read more about below.

As for the all new lowered rake structure on Hold'em Cash Games, it is as follows:

Blinds Buy-in Rake per pot Rake cap
$0.05 - $0.10 $1 - $10 $0.01 for each $0.20 in pot $1
$0.10 - $0.25 $3 - $25 $0.01 for each $0.20 in pot $2
$0.25 - $0.50 $10 - $50 $0.05 for each $1.00 in pot $4
$0.50 - $1.00 $20 - $100 $0.10 for each $2.00 in pot $5
$1.00 - $2.00 $40 - $200 $0.20 for each $4.00 in pot $6
$2.00 - $4.00 $100 - $400 $0.40 for each $8.00 in pot $8
$5.00 - $10.00 $300 - No Max $2 for each $40 in pot $10

Added tourney value and leaderboard

Natural8

As well as lowering rake structure, Natural8 offer the lowest tournament fees around, at 5%, and frequently make up the overlay on their guaranteed tournaments.

Why not use the tourneys and their guarantees to make your way up the GGnetwork’s cross network leaderboard that runs from March 1 to March 31? The leaderboard pays out $100,000 each month to the top 500 players, including a top prize of $5,000. Plus, the top Natural8 player in the network board can receive an added $2,888 plus an extra top up based on where in the world you live.
