Reduced rake at Portomaso Casino

Most of the regulars at the Portomaso Casino poker room have been waiting for this since a long time, and it’s now official: the rake appplied to all cash games has been decreased.

So far, the rake was between 4 and 7%, depending on the size of the pot. It is now closer to 3%, with 1 euro taken for every 25 euros in the pot (1 euro for a pot between 25 and 49 euros, 2 euros between 50 and 74, etc.). The cap is still fixed at 100 euros of rake. These new fees are applied at Portomaso Casino since this week.

The casino will also adopt a new poker tournament schedule, starting in June. All details can be found on our Calendar page.
