# 🏠︱Rake & House Edge

The PlayLand platform allows game owners to customize rake and house edge settings for every game. These settings influence the game's profitability and the maximum allowable bet size, aligning with strategic financial management and competitive gameplay.

### Configuration and Transparency&#x20;

* **Customization:** Game owners can tailor rake and house edge based on game dynamics and target player demographics.

* **Visibility:** All users can view these settings before engaging with a game, promoting informed decision-making.

### Influence on Bet Size&#x20;
