Rake & Rewards
Purr Poker implements a transparent and community-oriented rake system that benefits the ecosystem through token buybacks mechanisms, while offering various features to token holders.
Rake System
Protocol Tables
Tables created and managed by the Purr Poker protocol implement a simple and fair rake structure:
- A fixed 3.5% rake is collected from all pots
- The rake is calculated automatically and transparently
- 65% of collected rake is used to buy back and burn $POKER tokens
User-Created Tables
The platform also enables users to create and manage their own tables with customized parameters:
- Table creators can set their own rake rate (up to a maximum)
- 75% of rake collected goes to the table creator
- 25% of rake goes to the platform to maintain infrastructure
- Creating custom tables requires paying an amount of $POKER tokens
- Custom tables can have password protection, nft/token holding requirements, and invite-only access
Additional Revenue Streams

Benefits of Holding $POKER
Token Appreciation
The 65% minimum buyback mechanism from rake creates constant buy pressure and reduces token supply, potentially increasing the value of $POKER tokens over time.
Custom Table Creation
Use $POKER tokens to create your own personalized tables with custom rules, buy-in requirements, and rake structures, allowing you to host games for friends or the public while earning revenue.
Premium Features
Stake your $POKER tokens to unlock premium features like Rabbit Hunting, HUD Stats, Timebank Advantage, and Rake Discounts based on your staking tier.
