Poker Basics

Weighted Contributed

A rakeback calculation method where each player's share is proportional to the amount they contributed to the pot. Players who put in more chips receive a larger share of the rake credited back. This is the most common rakeback model used by modern online poker rooms and favors aggressive, high-volume players.

Example

In a $100 pot, you put in $60 and your opponent put in $40. The $5 rake is attributed 60% to you ($3) and 40% to your opponent ($2), reflecting each player's actual contribution.
