Here we compare the rakes for Turbo SNGs at 3 of the main poker sites, Stars, Full Tilt and Bodog. We will start with 3 separate charts which show you the rakes and number of players at the table – this will be followed by a look which site is the best site for Turbo SNG tournaments which will include other factors such as bonus clearance and other benefits.

Turbo Sit N Go Rakes – Observations On The Above Charts

Other Factors Important To Choosing The Best Site For Turbo SNGs

  1. Bonuses: While Bodog offer an ‘unlimited’ 10% bonus on your first deposit this is realistically only $50 for most players. Stars $50 bonus is fast to clear and they have the best VIP club benefits around. Full Tilt offer a 100% to $600 bonus (also fast to clear) and is undoubtedly the top site on this measure alone.

  2. Winning Regulars: Bodog comes out on top based on this measure – the opponents at all levels being markedly weaker than the other sites. Stars has a lot of regulars making the games above $25+2 require better table selection. There are less regulars at Full Tilt but at the mid-to higher limits you will need to practice table selection, especially during off-peak hours.

  3. Multi-Tabling: Stars and Tilt both get 10/10 for the ability to multi-table. Bodog do not have the same volumes but those wishing to play 3 tables should be able to get their games especially in the evenings.

Conclusions – Best Turbo Sit N Go Poker Site

It’s close! Based on the rakes we see little difference, the jump from $6 to $15 at Stars pushes us slightly to favor Full Tilt, the $11+1 Turbo sit and go tournaments are soft and have a reasonable rake. Bodog have the softest opponents by a long way and are a the best option for those players wishing to play only a couple of tables at a time.
