The change was not announced, but was spotted by players at the tables.
Typically the rake at a cash game is around 5%—so in a $20 pot, $1 is taken in rake. A rake cap sets a maximum total rake hand so these values do not rise too high—typically a cap between $1 and $5 is set, depending on buy-in level and players at the table.
The new rake caps for US tables at Revolution Gaming poker rooms are now:
- $0.10/$0.25 and lower: $2 rake cap
- $0.25/$0.50 to $20/$40 stakes: $4 rake cap
- $25/$50+: $5 rake cap
For tables in Euros, the cap has been increased to €5.
