On The PokerWorld website, go to the "My Account" page and follow the instructions.

As in most card rooms, the minimum buy-in is ten times the small bet. For example, you need $100 to enter a $10 - $20 game, $50 to enter a $5 - $10 game and $20 to enter a $2 - $4 game. Upon entering each table, the software will advise you of the minimum buy-in for that particular table.

This is called a short buy-in, and players are allowed one short buy-in during a playing session but not on the initial buy-in. If you do not have enough money on deposit for the initial buy-in to enter a game, you are allowed to get action on your remaining account balance at the lowest limit table in the card room.

The money removed from each pot by the house is the rake. The house rake is 5% of the pot size, capping at $3, calculated on a variable rake structure. This allows us to adjust the rake depending upon the number of players and the betting limits.

For limits of $2 - $4 and over, the maximum rake is $3 per game. For limits of $1 - $2 and under, the maximum rake is $1 per game. Please see the rake table for all our games by clicking on the Rake section of our website.
