is that on the same network as UB too? Or if not, do you know if UB and AP will be merging onto the same network?

It would make sense I think.

Vegas 24/7 is currently only an Absolute skin.

The question is...do they calculate rakeback on the "dealt" method , or the "contributed" method. I left Absolute because they changed to the contributed method .

[RakeTheRake]

Contributed

But they have been like that for some time.

Kind regards

Can someone explain the difference between the "contributed" method and the "dealth" method?

Thanks

To save my fingers i swiped this off our website...

There are three basic methods of rake calculation.

<u>Dealt Cards: </u>
If you are dealt cards in a hand then you are deemed to have contributed to the pot and therefore you are allocated an equal share of the rake taken. This is regardless of whether you fold straight away or not. If for example the rake taken on a particular table is $3 and there are six of you playing, then your rake consideration is $0.50. Examples: Interpoker, Full Tilt, UltimateBet


<u>Average Contributed:</u>
Similar to the dealt cards method as above in terms of the calculation, but you must contribute at least something to the pot. If you fold without contributing to the pot then your rake consideration is zero. If for example the pot on a particular table was $60 the rake taken is $3. Even if you contributed only $2 to the pot and there are six of you playing (but two folded pre-flop) then you get allocated a quarter of the rake as 4 people in total contributed to the pot.
Examples:Eurobet, Hollywood

<u>Weighted Contributed: </u>
You simply get allocated the weighted proportion of the pot that you contributed. If for example the pot was $60, the rake taken is $3. If you put in $2 to the pot then your rake consideration is (2/60 * $3) or $0.10
Examples:Purple Lounge, Absolute

Thanks a lot that was very helpful.

Is my logic right here?:

If you are a tight player who does not play many pots then you would prefer the dealt system as opposed to a loose player who plays many pots, who would prefer the contributed system?

I'm assuming the loose player prefers the contributed method because with the dealt method he always has to share his rake with everyone and the tight player would prefer the dealt system because he always gets rakeback even if he playes 1 pot per orbit.
