Poker Players Protest Against PokerStars' Rake Increase
On November 5, poker players protested against the rake increase in the largest poker room. Some players did not open the client on the day of the protest, while others blocked tables.
HaraLabos Voulgaris called Daniel Negreanu's statement about the rake increase 'nonsense'. Daniel Negreanu responded to HaraLabos Voulgaris' criticism by stating that PokerStars is still the cheapest online site.
Daniel Kayts announced his intention to switch to BetSafe. PokerStars explained the rake increase in their corporate blog, citing the need to attract new players and expand the legal online poker market.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
