PLO Rake
Best PLO Poker Sites: Rake Compared by Stake (2026)
BC Poker charges the least PLO rake of 20 rooms we track at $0.10/$0.20, $0.25/$0.50 and $0.50/$1 six-handed, and cut its caps by a third at the three lowest of those stakes in May 2026. WPT Global is second at all three and first at $0.02/$0.05, and its 30% PLO rakeback pulls it level with BC at $0.50/$1 once returns are counted. From $1/$2 up, PokerStars is cheapest or tied for cheapest, and BC Poker ranks 11th at $1/$2.

PLO Rake by Stake
PrimeDope's rake model assumes PLO pots run 60% larger than Hold'em pots at the same blinds, with 15% more hands seeing a flop, so a PLO table reaches the rake cap far more often. Figures are rake in big blinds per 100 hands, six-handed, with each room's rank among the 20 tracked (17 at $0.02/$0.05). BC Poker spreads $0.10/$0.20 and $0.20/$0.50, and the model compares it at the nearest big blind.
| Stake | BC Poker | WPT Global | PokerStars | GGPoker |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.02/$0.05 | 10.66 (2nd) | 10.05 (1st) | 14.44 (9th) | 13.75 (7th) |
| $0.10/$0.25 | 7.69 (1st) | 9.55 (2nd) | 11.70 (4th) | 13.20 (8th) |
| $0.25/$0.50 | 7.70 (1st) | 9.13 (2nd) | 10.70 (4th) | 13.52 (20th) |
| $0.50/$1 | 8.71 (1st) | 9.43 (2nd) | 9.48 (3rd) | 12.49 (20th) |

BC Poker's 2026 PLO Cap Cut
In May 2026 BC Poker kept its 5% rate and lowered the caps at eight of its eleven PLO stakes. Six-handed caps:
| Stake | Old cap | New cap | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0.02/$0.05 | $0.30 | $0.20 | -33% |
| $0.10/$0.20 | $0.60 | $0.40 | -33% |
| $0.20/$0.50 | $1.20 | $0.80 | -33% |
| $0.50/$1 | $2 | $2 | None |
| $1/$2 | $4 | $4 | None |
| $2/$4 | $8 | $6 | -25% |
| $5/$10 | $8 | $8 | None |
| $10/$20 | $20 | $15 | -25% |
| $25/$50 | $100 | $20 | -80% |
| $50/$100 | $100 | $25 | -75% |
| $100/$200 | $100 | $30 | -70% |
The cuts at the three lowest stakes fall where BC's games run, and the deepest apply from $25/$50 up, where the review records no reliable games. Its PLO cap at $0.50/$1 is $2, lower than its own $3 Hold'em cap at the same stake. Tables of two to four players pay half the six-handed cap at every stake.
After Rakeback
WPT Global pays 30% on PLO through its Table Starter programme, ten points above its Hold'em rate. BC Poker's 18-tier VIP ladder pays 10% to 50%, and most players sit at 20 to 25%. GGPoker's Ocean Rewards starts at 24% and reaches 80% at the Shark tier. Net rake per 10,000 six-handed hands at each room's typical tier:
| Stake | BC Poker at 20% | BC Poker at 25% | WPT Global at 30% | GGPoker at 24% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.02/$0.05 | $43 | $40 | $35 | $52 |
| $0.25/$0.50 | $308 | $289 | $320 | $514 |
| $0.50/$1 | $697 | $653 | $660 | $949 |
Where the Games Run
BC Poker peaks near 150 concurrent players in European evening hours across all formats, and action above $1/$2 depends on waiting for a table. BC does not publish PLO table counts, and PrimeDope has not measured them by stake, so the PLO share of that peak is unknown. The HUD ban and facial liveness check keep tracking software out, which suits players who play from reads and rules out anyone who studies from a hand database.
WPT Global's cash games run reliably from NL10 to NL200 in European prime time, and the room allows HUDs. JackPoker spreads one to three tables from NL5 to NL50 and little above that. Those counts come from each room's review and cover Hold'em. GGPoker and PokerStars run the two largest cash pools online, and GGPoker's caps make it the most expensive of these six rooms at every stake up to $1/$2.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which poker site has the lowest PLO rake?
It depends on stake. As of 26 September 2026, BC Poker is cheapest of 20 rooms at $0.10/$0.20, $0.25/$0.50 and $0.50/$1 six-handed, WPT Global at $0.02/$0.05, and PokerStars at $1/$2 and $5/$10, with a three-way tie at $2/$5. Current figures for every stake are in the PLO rake calculator.
What is BC Poker's PLO rake?
5% at every stake, with six-handed caps of $0.20 at $0.02/$0.05, $0.40 at $0.10/$0.20, $0.80 at $0.20/$0.50, $2 at $0.50/$1 and $4 at $1/$2. Tables of two to four players pay half those caps. Full detail in the BC Poker review.
Does WPT Global pay rakeback on PLO?
Yes. The Table Starter programme pays 30% on PLO and 20% on Hold'em, with higher tiers reaching 40%. See the WPT Global review.
Why is PLO rake higher than Hold'em rake?
PrimeDope's rake model assumes PLO pots run 60% larger than Hold'em pots at the same blinds and see 15% more flops, so more hands reach the cap. At $0.50/$1 six-handed, the cheapest PLO room costs 8.71 bb/100 in PrimeDope's model.
Which site is best for PLO above $1/$2?
PokerStars charges the least rake at $1/$2 (6.41 bb/100 on a $2.75 cap) and at $5/$10, ties BetMGM and PartyPoker at $2/$5, and runs the second-largest cash pool online. GGPoker runs the largest at higher rake, offset in part by Ocean Rewards at 24 to 80%.
