1. Depending on the casino, many of them take a certain percentage from the BBJ pot for "administrative/marketing". It usually runs around 10%. This isn't really published information, it's something you would find in the small print. Some casinos may not take a percentage.
Most places cannot take a service charge of any kind out of a player's pool. When I say most, I mean I don't think any but I haven't been everywhere. I do know that the California Indian Gaming cannot take a charge.
I think some may be confused with cardrooms/casinos that don't take a BBJ collection and set asside a percentage of the rake for BBJ.
I would be very interested to see if anyone could confirm that Commerce actually gets away with taking a service charge of any kind out of the players pool.

As far as freerolls/high hand/aces cracked and other promotions can come out of player's pools.
