Rake Distribution

Post by Superderp »

Adding some ways to organize how ring game rake/tournament fees would be really useful if you have multiple people splitting the rake or want to separate x% of rake for expenses and y% for profit. Thought of a couple ways this could be done:

1. On the rake account page add an area where you can enter in an account name and the percentage of total rake/fees the person is entitled to. When rake is collected it would be distributed between the accounts listed. Any percentage not allocated to an account would go into the default rake/fee account.

2. Have the option of disabling rake/fees from being added to the default rake account. On top of this add a rake/fee callback that is triggered when a tournament fee or rake is collected. It would POST info like source (Rake or fee) and amount (the amount collected). This way any rake can be dispersed as desired through a user created script.

Option 1 would be a lot easier of course since it doesn't involve making your own script but either would be very useful.

This part can be implemented now since there already is a callback event that is triggered at the end of each hand. And the text of that hand can be retrieved via an API (LogsHandHistory) call where the rake is recorded.
