PokerStars plan to increase their rake on some select games across their shared liquidity markets while affirming that the changes still leave them ahead of the competition.

The PokerStars fan club may be losing a few more members after Eric Hollreiser, VP of Corporate Communications for Amaya and PokerStars, announced plans for a series of rake increases.

The article entitled PokerStars Announces Revised Pricing appeared on the PokerStars Corporate Blog March 21. The date of the proposed increases is March 28. You don’t need to have read The Mathematics of Poker by Bill Chen and Jerrod Ankenman to calculate that’s only seven days notice.

A million minions won’t see the difference. Thousands of people who view playing poker as their profession will. Hollreiser explained that the changes come about after a ‘review of the current business environment and the pricing policies employed across the competitive landscape for online gaming.’
