Rake Reports

A Rake Report is basically the financial heartbeat of any poker platform — it tracks how much money the house (platform owner) earns from players by deducting a percentage of each pot in real-money games. If you’re running or renting poker software, this is one of the most crucial reports because it tells you exactly who played, on which game, at which table, and how much rake they contributed.

Here’s how it works with your three parameters — Players, Game, Tables:

1. Game – Different games (Texas Hold’em, Omaha, etc.) can have different rake structures. The report splits the rake totals per game type, so you know which variant is more profitable. For instance, Omaha tables might have brought in 30% more rake than Texas in the same week.

2. Players – The report lists each player and the total rake they generated. For example, Player A might have contributed $ 1,200 rake in Texas Hold’em over 4 days, while Player B generated $ 800. This helps identify your “high-value” players and also track VIP or loyalty rewards.

3. Tables – The report also breaks down rake by table ID or name. This is important because some tables might consistently earn more rake (maybe because of higher stakes or more active players). You can use this insight to adjust table limits, seating capacity, or promotions.

Flow example: A player joins a Texas Hold’em table → plays multiple hands → in each hand, the system automatically takes a rake (say 5% of the pot, capped at $500) → the software logs the player’s ID, game type, and table ID for that rake → at the end of the day/week/month, the Rake Report aggregates all that data so you can filter it by Player, Game, or Table and see the revenue distribution.
