How Do Online Bookmakers Earn From Poker?

[galimberti11]

Maybe this question is stupid, maybe not.
Someone can tell me how online bookmakers can earn money from online poker?
I mean , if this game is fair one person in a cardroom win and other players
lose.
And the bookmaker?? In wich way they can earn money from this (by means of
bots that simulate real players and win sometimes hands cheating????)
What do you think?

They get the rake!!! My rake "cost" is normally over $500 monthly alone

 

[Expertx]

they take a rake between %3-5.
if money in table is big,their rake rate is small.

Yes you're right - that was a stupid question!

With poker rooms taking a guaranteed no-risk cut from all the cash that crosses their tables, owning a poker room is like having a licence to print your own money!
