The sweepstakes poker platform says players at the designated tables keep 100% of the pots they win.
Key points
- Time-Based Tables charge players according to how long they play.
- The designated tables appear with a stopwatch icon in the cash game lobby.
- The feature was included in the Tuesday, November 10 maintenance update.
- Some Texas poker rooms use a similar approach to table fees.
ClubWPT Gold introduced time-based fees at designated ring game tables in a Tuesday, November 10 maintenance update, adopting a charging model used by some poker rooms in Texas.
The sweepstakes poker platform’s Time-Based Tables replace pot-based rake with fees calculated according to the time a player spends at the table, Poker Industry PRO reported.
According to the operator’s support documentation, players at those tables keep 100% of the pots they win. A stopwatch icon identifies the tables in the cash game lobby.
The approach resembles the model used by some Texas poker rooms, where players pay for table time rather than having a portion taken from each pot. Poker Industry PRO reported that Hijack Poker, a real-money online poker platform, also uses the model.
The ClubWPT Gold maintenance update also added support for GIFs at tables.
