Poker Margin Structure

At Pocket52, We have evolved our poker margin structure keeping you in mind. Our poker margin structures are one of the most competitive in the online Poker Community –

Pocket52 lives by the No Flop, No Drop rule, meaning that we do not collect any margin on the cash game tables before the flop. Whether you are playing Texas Holdem Poker, Pot Limit Omaha – PLO, Pot Limit Omaha 5 – PLO5, Pot Limit Omaha 6 – PLO6 at Pocket52 you deal with the most transparent & legit margin structure.

For Cash tables, refer to the tables below:

In poker tournaments, players are required to pay a fixed entry fee called buy-in, which may vary depending on the tournament. For paid tournaments, the buy-in includes 10% margin.

Following recent GST changes effective from October 1st, 2023, a 28% GST is now applicable on all deposits. At Pocket52, we are dedicated to providing our players with a seamless and top-notch gaming experience. As a testament to our commitment, we bear the entire GST on deposits for our valued players.

Separately an additional margin of 28% on existing margins shall be applied to cash games. This approach allows us to optimize our reward. We extend our sincere gratitude to our players for their ongoing support.
