Contributed Rake
A method of calculating rakeback based on each player's actual contribution to the pot. Only players who voluntarily put money into the pot (beyond forced bets) receive rakeback credit. This method rewards active players who play more hands but penalizes tight players who fold frequently.
Example
You fold pre-flop while three other players see the flop and generate $3 in rake. Under contributed rake, only those three players are credited — you get zero rakeback for that hand.
