• PokerStars is an Internet poker room, not a casino. That means you never play poker against the house, only against other players. PokerStars receives compensation by taking a "rake", a small amount from each ring game pot. This rake from the pot never exceeds $5. At the lower limits, PokerStars takes a smaller rake. Please see our Rake page for exact rake information. There is no rake in play money games. No “per hand” rake is taken in tournaments; there is only an initial fee to enter. Some tournaments do not charge a fee or a rake.  more
