Buying in (poker)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In poker and gaming, "buying in" is the process of entering a tournament that requires an up-front payment. The size of the payment, otherwise known as the "buy in", determines the total winning prize pool and also contains a fee, otherwise known as the rake, that is paid to the house.[1]
