True Value will allocate player rake to operators based upon volume, activity and win/loss ratio.

“This is our biggest release thus far this year, and we believe it is one of the most important releases in online poker,” stated Lydia Melton, Head of Network Games at Microgaming, whose company currently uses the “contributed” method of rake calculation for their players.

“What sets True Value apart from other networks’ solutions to the valuation problem is that it uses a dual layer system, which does not impact the players themselves. Any players earning rake-based promotions, like bonuses, will clear those promotions at the same rate on True Value as on the current method.

“We are firmly on a path to creating a new type of poker network, and this is one vital step on that path, and follows on from the formation of the industry’s first Network Management Board last November.”
