Devilfish Poker uses a weighted contributed rake system. One VIP point is rewarded for each €0.50, which has been contributed in rake. When a player bets money into the pot, he/she also contributes an amount in the rake. The amount of VIP-points awarded to the player per hand is based on the player’s contribution into the pot and consequently to the rake. If the player’s rake contribution is less than €0.50, then the player is awarded with partial VIP-points. The maximum rake which can be taken from the pot is €3, thus the player can earn up to 3 VIP-points per hand. The players that do not contribute any money into the pot are not rewarded with any VIP-points.
Example:
Game: Texas Holdem €1/2 No Limit
Players: 6
Player A bets €1 (small blind) into the pot
Player B bets €2 (big blind) into the pot
Player C bets €40 into the pot
Player D bets €40 into the pot
Player E folds
Player F folds
The total pot of this hand is €83 and the rake is €3.
| Player | Pot Contribution | Rake Contribution | Awarded VIP-points |
| A | €1/€83 = 1.2% | €0.036 | ~ 0.072 |
| B | €2/€83 = 2.4% | €0.072 | ~ 0.144 |
| C | €40/€83 = 48.2% | €1.446 | ~ 2.892 |
| D | €40/€83 = 48.2% | €1.446 | ~ 2.892 |
| E | €0/€83 = 0.0% | €0 | ~ 0.00 |
| F | €0/€83 = 0.0% | €0 | ~ 0.00 |
VIP points are also awarded for participation in tournaments. If you participate in a scheduled multi-table tournament or a Sit & Go, you will receive 1 VIP point for each €0.5 paid in tournament fee.
No VIP points will be awarded, if VIP points are used to settle the tournament buy-in cost.
