The rake for playing on our backgammon tables is calculated as follows:

	The base rake: depending on the stake of the game and of the match length in case of matches

For backgammon single games the base rake is 4.4% for games up to €20 per point, 3.4% for games from €20 to €50 per point and 1.4% for games €100 per point or higher.

For backgammon matches the base rake depends on the length of the match and the money at stake. Basically, two guidelines may be considered: The longer the match the higher the rake and the higher the stake the lower the rake. For example: For a 1-point-match with less than €20 at stake, the rake is 4.4%. For a 1-point match with at least €20 at stake the rake is 3.9%. For details see the following match rake table.

For backgammmon tournaments players pay a registration fee. No further rake must be paid. The fee is not subject to the correction rules, thus it is always the same for all players.

The rake changes will take effect with the introduction of Backgammon 3.0 on 07.10.09.
