Key Takeaways
  • A month later than planned, iPoker is switching the way it shares revenue between operators to its new Source Based Rake (SBR) system.
  • The new system will initially be introduced on only half of the revenues which are attributed to each skin on the network—the remainder will be attributed using the traditional rake method.
  • Traditionally, network skins receive revenues based on the rake paid by their players. This rewards skins who supply high volume players—typically winning players—and undervalues the poker rooms that recruit the recreational players who provide the deposits on which the poker ecosystem is based.
