The rake generated is proportional to the percentage contributed to the pot. To get rake on a hand you must have been dealt cards, contributed to the pot and the game must generate at least $0.01 in rake for you.

For example, in a $0.05/$0.10 No Limit game with 8 players the rake is $0.01 per $0.20 pot, with a maximum rake of $3.00.
