What are Betfair Points?
On Betfair Poker’s new and improved platform, “Betfair Points” have become our loyalty scheme’s base unit. You will earn Betfair Points across all four of the Betfair products; Sports Exchange, Poker, Casino and Games.
On Betfair Poker you will earn one Betfair Point for £0.05 (approx $0.10) of rake paid. Points are earned for both cash games and tournaments.
So, for example, if you were to buy into a $25 + $2.50 STT then you would earn approximately 25 Betfair Points.
How is rake apportioned to a particular player in a cash game?
In a pot, rake is apportioned to any player who has contributed to it. If four players contribute, then the rake apportioned to each player will be a quarter of the total rake taken in that pot. The amount a player contributes is irrelevant, therefore if a player is on the small blind but folds before the flop is dealt, he will still be have deemed to have contributed. Remember, no rake is taken if the flop is not dealt.
