WSOP Dealer Shares Insights on Earnings, Tips, and Challenging Moments
A dealer at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) has shared her experiences and insights into her work, earnings, and the challenges she faces. Dilers receive 70% of the 3% rake allocated for them, while the remaining 30% goes to the floras.
The dealer mentions that players often leave tips, but these are not officially part of the rake. The dealer expects to earn at least $15k from two months of work at WSOP, after deducting taxes and expenses. She has witnessed various incidents, including players making inappropriate comments and health emergencies. The dealer's most successful day involved earning $600 in a single night at WSOP.
Despite the challenges, the dealer highlights the importance of tips and the unique experiences that come with the job. Dilers often live in low-quality motels during poker series, adding to the hardships they face. However, the dealer remains optimistic about her work and the opportunities it provides.

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.
