Starting tomorrow, the rake will be more calculated in the same way on PartyPoker. Always been at PartyPoker rake is calculated by a System shared and tomorrow it will pass to a system contributed.
This means that when you have a collective pot, the rake will be calculated by dividing the total rake with one hand by the number of players involved in the hand.
To give an example of rake shared; you have a pot of $ 100 between two players (say the small blind and the big blind) and $ 5 rake is taken from the pot. If the table has 10 players, each player will be credited $ 0.50 rake. It's beneficial for players who do not play many hands (the NIT), but it is much less for aggressive players who give share to everyone.
With regard to the method of contributed rake, rake (and therefore, rakeback) will be awarded according to the contribution to the pot. To give a simple example, if 3 players have created a $ 100 bribe one has invested $ 20 and that the other two have also invested $ 40, the rake will be credited according to the percentage invested in the pot. Therefore the player who have invested $ 20 (20% of 100) will be credited with 20% of the $ 5 rake (so $ 1).
This method of calculation is less Socialist if you want, but more representative of the action given by players.
This new method of calculating the rake will in turn influence your rakeback and your PartyPoints. If you're a nit who plays full ring, you will do surely less PartyPoints in the future. If you are a very aggressive player of shorthanded or full ring, you will see your points accumulate faster.
In addition, rake which can be taken when a hand has increased. For example, on a table of full-ring with blinds at $ 3 / $6, the maximum rake that you can pay on PokerStars or William Hill is $ 3. Formerly it was the same thing at PartyPoker. Starting tomorrow, this maximum will be set to the increase to $ 5. Some other changes have been made according to the limits. You can consult all the details on their website.
For what is the rake for sit n go, it will be revised downward, but no implementation date has yet been given.
