Hello,I am pulling my ****ing hair
out trying to articulate this to GG Poker support.📉 It's impossible to articulate this
to GG support and I don't think the community will ever know the true answer.📉 There is
no way the community can gauge the jackpot and calculate if it is being raked. The
language used📉 within the rules/TOS is both outdated (or incorrect) and ambiguous.Here
is the only place I can find on GG Poker📉 that MIGHT allude to whether or not the AoF
jackpot-fee is being raked -Unfortunately the seemingly more up to date📉 information
regarding the game variant doesn't have the same sort of disclaimers regarding a
possible jackpot-fee-rake - //help.ggpoker/article/2047-aof-table-fees - Doesn't
📉 AT ALL suggest there would be a 'jackpot-fee-rake'My hypothesis is that the Jackpot fee
is NOT raked, the general consensus📉 within the community however is that it IS
raked.Before I explain the issue I want to clarify important nomenclature
distinction.1.📉 Jackpot-fee: The amount taken from each player per hand that goes to the
jackpot, everyone theoretically has an even chance📉 to win the jackpot, and it isn't a
'fee' as such, but rather acontribution by the players, to the players.2.
📉 Jackpot-fee-rake: The amount GG Poker rakes from 'Jackpot-fee' , this may or may not
exist. This would also mean there📉 de facto exists a 'Net-Jackpot-fee' (Jackpot-fee -
Jackpot-fee-rake).This is entirely separate from the normal rakeI will now briefly
break down📉 the link in question ( //en.ggpoker/poker-games/all-in-or-fold/ the
plain incorrect (or maybe out of date) information:"The jackpot builds continuously,
with 50%📉 of the fee for all games of All-In or Fold contributing directly to the
total."YET-Total fee = rake + jackpot📉 fee + bingo fee = (.05 +. 05 + .05) = 00.15
bbjackpot fee / total.05 / .15 = .33333333So,📉 perhaps the quote '50% of fee', was
written at a time where AoF existed, or at least was conceived, but📉 Bingo wasn't yet
implemented, and they just haven't tidied up this information?, is GG Poker raking the
jackpot-fee itself, AND📉 charging a rake?From the same link above:"44% of AoF fees will
be accumulated to the AoF Jackpot from each hand📉 played per player."Was this perhaps
written during a time where AoF didn't have bingo, AND ALSO, the jackpot was just
📉 smaller, it was something like .056 bb rake, and .044 bb jackpot fee. I.e 44 percent of
the total fee📉 goes to the jackpot, and 56 percent of the total fee is the rake, thus
there is no jackpot-fee-rake.If Jackpot-fee-rake📉 does indeed exist then this should be
re-written to:"44% of AoFfees will be accumulated to the AoF Jackpot from each📉 hand
played per player." - This means that of the .05 bb jackpot fee, only (.44 x .05) goes
to📉 the players.Note the difference"44% of AoF fees will be accumulated to the AoF
Jackpot from each hand played per player.""44%📉 of AoFfees will be accumulated to the
AoF Jackpot from each hand played per player."Now to come back to my📉 hypothesis and
speculate. I don't think there is a Jackpot-fee-rake.1. I think the second and
seemingly more up to date📉 link ( //help.ggpoker/article/2047-aof-table-fees )
would clearly say if there was.2. Raking the Jackpot-fee by 56% seems really high and
unsellable.3.📉 The presence of Jackpot-fee-rake, and the ambiguity in TOS/Rules would
get eaten alive in jurisdictions like the Netherlands.(I feel like📉 one could try claim
back, Total Hands * .05 * .56 * 1 bb)
