Rake & Match Fees

Every match has a 10% rake. The rest goes straight to the winner.

Rake Overview

PoP never plays against you. Instead, we take a 10% rake from every match pot. The rest goes directly to the winner.

The rake is split into:

• 40% Burn → Bought back and burned, reducing $POP supply

• 60% Treasury → Used for operations, growth, and buybacks

---

Example Match

Player A stakes $10 |  Player B stakes $10

----

Total pot = $20

----

Rake = $2
Burn = $0.80
Treasury = $1.20

---

Winner payout = $18

---

Why It Matters

The rake powers the token economy instead of padding a house balance. Every match makes $POP scarcer while funding the growth of the platform.

Deflationary

Continuous burns reduce supply

Sustainable

Player-First

In PoP, the rake strengthens the ecosystem. You never play against the house.

Fairness in Rake

• The rake is fixed and transparent (10%).

• No hidden spreads or fees.

• Lower effective rake when playing with $POP due to staking rebates.
