I understand that Unibet Poker needs to make money, but some tourney rakes are simply outrageous and probably not good for the business either.

Example: I wanna qualify for 50EUR UOS Freezeout so I play a 10 EUR (9+1) satelite (4min level crapshot). If I am a breakeven player I will have to play that qualifier 50/9=5.556 times in order to qualify, on average. Thus, the ticket will cost 55.56EUR. Now, the 50EUR target tournament itself is raked at 45+5 EUR, so I will only get 45 EUR value for my ticket. Thus, as a result, I will pay 55.56/45 = 1.23 i.e. 23% rake for the whole thing!

Previously this didn't bother me because there were number of overlay satelites across the board for UOS. Now that they are mostly gone, it is simply not feasible to play these events.

Tournament rake structures also seem rather random. For example 3 min level Gargle Blaster
is raked at 22.5+2.5 whereas some longer structure re-entry tournaments are more modestly raked. I also find Supernova's 90+10 rather outrageous.

Like I said I am here not to complain 'rake is too high'. It just doesn't make sense how you rake things. A few things to consider:

1) more modestly raked qualifier paths would lead to more success for many new players - to get them excited
2) there should be a correlation between the required skill level and rake (crapshots are raked less)
3) the money you burn for overlays could be more evenly distributed as lower rake if you managed to avoid those overlays. Like I said overlays are already disappearing from the regular schedule so this combined with high initial rake just means that players will pay more.
