Commissions when playing pool for real money
|
|
|
The commission is taken from the sum plus 0.5% for each additional point in a game over 1 (the winner pays both).
Up to $20:
base commission: 5.9%, every point: +0.5%, max commission: 9.9%
Example: Diane and Julia play a match up to 3 points with a sum involved of $10. Diane wins the series 3-1.The commission for 3 games is a base commission of 5.9%+2*0.5%=6.9% The commission from each player is
$10*6.9%=$0.69 (the winner pays both their commissions). $8.62 will be added to Diane's balance and $10 will be deducted from Julia's balance.
$20 up to $100:
base commission (for 1 point): 4.9%, every point: +0.5%, max commission: 8.9%
$100 and over:
base commission (for 1 point): 3.9%, every point: +0.5%, max commission: 7.9%
Play89™ encourages matches between players with a similar rating level, therefore:
A maximum of $5 commission when the ratings of both players are over 1650.
Decrease of 50% in commissions if the ratings of both players are over 1700.
Increase of 25% in commissions if the rating of one of the players is less than 1620.
And:
Increase of 50% in commissions when the rating difference is 100 to 199.
Increase of 100% in commissions when the rating difference is 200 or more.
Increase of 150% in commissions when the rating difference is 250 or more.
Increase of 200% in commissions when the rating difference is 300 or more.
The following applies only when the last 4 rules apply as well:
-Increased commission will not be applied if both players have a rating higher than 1650 or less than 1550.
-A rating lower than 1400 is considered as 1400 and displayed as 1400*.
