Just because I think we need another thread on WSEX - contributed rake

[Artsemis]

Okay, before you say it, I've searched... lots. It's not that I didn't find answers, it's that I found largely varying results.

Here's my question: When you are given rakeback on WSEX is it based on how much you contributed as a percentage to the pot being your percentage of the rake you get back or is it rake divided by players dealt cards?

The former is what WSEX support claims:
The rake back is based on who contributes. If you didnt contribute, you wont accumulate rake. Thus, you wont receive any rake back.

However, I just sat at a table, posted a blind (0.25) and folded on the flop. The pot was raked .05. Next I posted the small blind (0.10) and folded preflop -- the pot ended up getting raked over $1.50.

After this, I closed the table and had a little over .50 for my rakeback -- this is more than I even contributed so its no way near my percentage share of the rake.

It seems obvious that this proves you get equal rake based on the number of players dealt cards, wether you fold or not preflop -- but why are there so many people arguing one way or the other, including WSEX support?

Thanks in advance.
