In lieu of a monthly membership fee, PoolStars takes a percentage fee from each game playedbased on the game size. The fee is deducted from the pool after the buy-in is taken. The larger the buy-in of PS$, the smaller the percentage is taken. Tournaments all maintain a flat 10% fee, while the head-to-head single games are based on the sliding scale shown below. The fee is the same whether it is a race to five or a race to one.
