According to the terms of the MSIGA, rake is assigned to each player in cash games using a weighted contributed methodology. For tournaments, each player is considered to have paid his own entry fee. The revenue from each player is treated as being generated in the state from which that individual has logged on to the system. The poker revenue thus assigned is collected every month and then distributed to each participating state, which then levies its own taxes or fees on it in accordance with that state's gaming laws.
