* PG = PartyGammon
Beware! the amount raked at all servers except GamesGrid will be higher
than the nominal amounts shown above might lead you to expect. This is
because GamesGrid's rake is based on the original stake. The other
server's rake is based on the total amount won: the higher the cube, the
higher the rake.
Beware! The rake at Party Gammon, BackgammonMasters and
GammonEmpire/Play65 depend on the players' ratings. This means that the
actual rake may be as much as three times (200% higher) than the
percentages shown above.
Here are some examples showing the actual dollar amount of the rake per
game:
(1) Rake on an average money game (2.2 points), if Player A is rated
1500 and the difference in Player A and B's rating is no more than 99:

$100/point $0.80 $11.00 $10.56 $12.76 $17.16 $12.10

$10/point $0.24 $ 1.10 $ 1.93 $ 2.16 $ 1.76 $ 2.20
$1/point $0.08 $ 0.11 $ 0.19 $ 0.22 n/a $ 0.22
(2) Rake on a 4-point game (gammon with the cube on 2), if Player A is
rated 1500 and the difference in Player A and B's rating is no more than
