PokerStars decided to increase rake and rake caps in various types of games. Those changes will go live in two phases, first November 3rd, 2014 and second from January 1st, 2015.

You can read the full post PokerStars representative posted with all changes listed:

    The following changes will be implemented for PokerStars.com and shared liquidity sites in the near future. Implementation dates are included for each change and full tables detailing the changes are provided at the end of the post.

    Battle of the Planets
    The week ending Saturday, November 1st will be the final week of the Battle of the Planets promotion. Prizes will be paid out this week as per normal.

    Rake Changes Effective November 3, 2014
    Rake will increase for all stakes of heads-up hyper turbo Sit & Go tournaments.

    Tournament fees for all forms of knockout tournaments, including both scheduled and Sit & Go tournaments, will now be equivalent to tournament fees charged for similar non-knockout tournaments. This is a change for all forms of knockout tournaments except for progressive super knockout tournaments for which tournament fees will not change.

    Hyper-turbo scheduled tournament fees will increase from 2% to approximately half of the fees charged for other scheduled tournaments at same or similar buy-in levels.

    The cap for ring game rake for hands dealt at PL/NL games to exactly two players will increase to $2 for stakes $25/$50 and higher and $1 for all other stakes.

    The cap for ring game rake for PL/NL games at $25/$50 and higher stakes with 5+ players dealt in will increase from $3 to $5.

    Spin & Go rake will be increased at stakes $3 and above. Details are in the table at the end of the post. Note that the ‘Rake’ row in the table refers to the % of prize pool withheld for rake, as is consistent with our current communication on our website and communication of pricing by competitors about similar products.


    Rakes Changes Effective January 1, 2015
    Hyper-turbo satellite Sit & Go fees will be increased at stakes below $2,000 from 2% to an amount equivalent to roughly 75% of the fees charged for cash prize hyper-turbo Sit & Go tournaments of the same buy-in. A table at the end of this post includes sample fees for a wide range of buy-ins.

    New tournament fees will apply in rebuy tournaments for players whose play is subject to significant local taxes in the form of gaming duty and/or VAT. For such players, tournament fees equivalent to those charged for initial buy-ins will be charged for rebuys and add-ons. We will soon provide a full list of sites/countries affected on January 1, but as examples, PokerStars.be, PokerStars.dk, PokerStars.uk, and PokerStars.bg will qualify due to gaming duty and players from Germany will qualify due to VAT.

    Spin & Go Prize Changes Effective November 3, 2014
    Spin & Go prize distribution will change to offer top prizes of 3000x the buy-in at each pool, increased from 1000x. Full details of the new distributions are available in the table at the bottom of this post.


    Details and Examples of Changes

    Sit & Go



    Spin & Go



    Scheduled MTT


    The above are examples; similar changes will apply at all stakes.

    NL/PL Ring Games

Isnt extra tax/fee for some countries the solution to let other countries play in the global server? Hope they use this money to restore a unique player pool again.

Not going to happen even if they increase the rake tenfold, restricted player pools are forced due to local law regulations (France, Italy).
