The rake at @WSOP Paradise is a lot higher than most people think, because the way that the buyins are listed in the app doesn't reflect an additional 3-5% staff fee. While WSOP technically discloses this fee, it's still not obvious what they're doing (1/x)
Most people aren't aware. This is a mistake; rake should always be transparent and obvious. So, at a minimum I think WSOP should relist their buyins with all fees in one line. Ideally, I also think WSOP should lower the rake %s to be closer to their summer levels
Also have to call out @AsianPokerTour for doing a bit of the same thing. It's more obvious here than with WSOP, but can we please just list this is a $9,312 + $400 + $288 so no one is confused

Breaking: the big tax bill with a provision to repeal the 90% cap on gambling losses was just overwhelmingly voted through, with bipartisan support, to the House Rules Committee. It’s a technical step before it goes to the House floor for a full vote.
The 90% cap on gambling losses would be repealed retroactive to 1/1/26 as part of the Ways & Means tax bill.
Joint Committee on Taxation estimates a negative impact on revenue of $2 billion from ‘27-36 from this repeal.
The ‘27-34 estimate is $1.5 billion, up 33% from its $1.1 billion estimate during same period.
Wonder if this means estimated tax payments from gamblers were higher than anticipated?
