PokerStars Announces Rake Increase, Expected to be Four Percent | PokerNews

• Spin & Go rake will be increased by one percentage point for buy-ins from $1 to $30 (two percentage points in $3 buy-in). $0.25, $60 and $100 buy-ins will not change.
• In multi-table tournaments, PokerStars will match the practices deployed in our closed-liquidity markets where rebuys and add-ons incur fees similar to the original entry. These tournaments represent approximately 12 percent of the current schedule.
• Multi-table tournament hyper-turbo rake will be increased to five percent.
• Cap and percentage of rake will be increased in some no-limit and pot-limit ring games, mainly heads-up. Some rake caps will be lowered. Limit games will not be affected.

pretty sure my serious online poker days are over.

Daniel Negreanu has enough "integrity" left to include analysis of how terrible PokerStars' changes are.

"If you spend a lot of time on the site playing heads up, hyper-turbo tourneys, or rebuy tourneys, I totally get that these changes suck for you and that you may not continue playing these formats anymore."
