What is Rake and Commission Reconciliation?

Rake and Commission Reconciliation is the process of comparing rake, commission, platform fee, partner share, provider share, game round, wallet, tax, settlement, and accounting records to identify matched revenue, missing entries, amount differences, incorrect calculations, duplicate records, and open items.

What files are required?

The main files are usually the rake or commission report and game round report. Depending on the workflow, wallet ledgers, contest reports, platform fee reports, partner reports, tax reports, settlement reports, refund reports, ERP exports, or supporting data files may also be used.

Can Cointab identify game rounds missing rake?

Yes. Cointab can show game rounds, contests, or wallet transactions that do not clearly match rake or commission records.

Can Cointab identify rake records without source transactions?

Yes. Rake or commission entries that do not clearly match game rounds, wallet records, contest records, or settlement records can be shown separately for review.

Can Cointab recalculate expected rake?

Yes. If the required base values and rules are available, Cointab can compare reported rake with expected rake based on rake percentage, platform fee, entry fee, stake, or other business rules.

Can Cointab reconcile partner or provider commissions?

Yes. Partner commission, provider share, affiliate commission, agent commission, and revenue share values can be compared where the data is available.

Can Cointab identify wrong commission slab usage?

Yes. If commission slab, partner agreement, provider rule, or rate data is available, Cointab can help identify records where the wrong rule may have been applied.

Can Cointab reconcile taxes and deductions?

Yes. GST, VAT, TDS, withholding, gaming tax, service tax, platform tax, and other deductions can be compared where the data is available.

Can Cointab handle refunds and rake reversals?

Yes. Cancelled rounds, void rounds, failed games, refunds, rake reversals, commission reversals, and adjustments can be included where the data is available.

Can Cointab compare rake with accounting postings?

Yes. ERP or accounting exports can be added to check whether rake revenue, commission expense, partner payable, tax, and settlement entries were posted correctly.

Can Cointab handle settlement-level reconciliation?

Yes. Rake revenue, partner share, provider share, commission payable, taxes, deductions, refunds, reversals, and settlement amounts can be compared together.

Can I reuse this reconciliation every day or month?

Yes. Once this template is selected and the workflow is used, the same setup can be reused for daily, weekly, monthly, or custom reconciliation periods.

Can this run automatically?

Yes. Once configured, Cointab can receive or pull required reports through email, SFTP, or APIs where available, run reconciliation automatically, and push output back to downstream systems.

What if my rake or commission report format is different?

Cointab validates uploaded files against the expected format. If the file format is different, users can correct the file, update the workflow, or create a custom reconciliation.

Can AI help with rake and commission reconciliation?

Yes. AI can help match difficult open records, review messy game or partner references, analyze exceptions, create derived columns, and suggest possible reasons and next actions.

Can I manually match rake and commission records?

Yes. Users can manually match records that the system and AI could not confidently match, and undo manual matches if needed.

Can I download the rake and commission reconciliation report?

Yes. Users can download Excel reports with fully matched, partially matched, unmatched, skipped, rule-level, settlement-level, partner-level, and transaction-level details.

Reconcile rake and commission with game, wallet, and accounting records

Rake and commission may be calculated from game rounds, entry fees, stakes, contest fees, platform fees, winnings, partner revenue shares, taxes, and wallet movements. Cointab helps bring these records into one clear reconciliation report.

The Rake and Commission Reconciliation template helps finance, gaming operations, and accounting teams compare rake or commission records with game round reports, wallet ledger entries, player transactions, settlement reports, tax records, and accounting postings.

This helps teams answer questions such as:

Which game rounds generated rake or commission?
Which rake or commission amounts match the platform's expected calculation?
Which game rounds are missing rake or commission records?
Which rake or commission entries do not have matching game round records?
Which wallet debits, entry fees, stakes, winnings, refunds, or reversals affect rake calculation?
Which partner commissions, affiliate commissions, provider commissions, or platform fees need review?
Which tax, GST, VAT, TDS, withholding, or fee deductions explain the difference?
Which items need game operations review, partner follow-up, revenue review, accounting correction, or internal approval?

This template is useful for gaming platforms, real money gaming businesses, fantasy sports platforms, tournament platforms, marketplace-style platforms, wallet-based apps, finance teams, controllers, CFOs, and accounting firms that need a repeatable rake and commission reconciliation process.

Required files for this template

Cointab's ready-made workflow is designed around common rake reports, commission reports, game round files, contest reports, wallet ledgers, settlement reports, tax reports, partner reports, ERP exports, and supporting data.

Common rake and commission reconciliation exceptions

Cointab helps finance and operations teams focus on revenue and commission differences instead of manually reviewing every game round, wallet entry, platform fee, partner share, and tax record.

Game round missing rake

A game round or contest entry exists, but the expected rake or commission record is missing.

Rake record without game round

A rake or commission entry appears, but there is no clear matching game round, contest, wallet, or source transaction.

Rake amount mismatch

The game round, contest ID, player ID, or transaction reference appears to match, but the calculated rake amount differs from the reported rake amount.

Commission amount mismatch

Partner, provider, affiliate, or platform commission differs from the expected commission value.

Platform fee mismatch

Entry fee, joining fee, service fee, platform fee, or deducted amount does not match the expected value.

Wrong commission slab

A transaction is calculated using the wrong commission rate, rake percentage, slab, campaign rule, provider agreement, or partner rule.

Tax mismatch

GST, VAT, TDS, withholding, gaming tax, service tax, or tax deduction differs from expected tax values.

Refund or reversal not adjusted

A cancelled game, void round, failed round, or refund exists, but rake or commission was not reversed correctly.

Duplicate rake entry

The same rake, commission, game round, contest, wallet transaction, or partner entry appears more than once.

Missing partner commission

Partner or provider commission should be payable but is not reflected in the commission report or settlement report.

Commission posted without source transaction

A commission is recorded even though the underlying game, contest, player transaction, or platform fee is missing.

Settlement mismatch

Rake revenue, commission payable, partner share, or provider settlement does not match settlement or accounting records.

Timing difference

A game round belongs to one period, but rake, commission, settlement, tax, or accounting posting appears in another period.

Wrong game, partner, or entity allocation

Rake or commission is mapped to the wrong game, contest, partner, provider, entity, branch, business unit, GL account, or cost center.

Missing or unclear reference

Round ID, game ID, contest ID, player ID, partner ID, commission ID, wallet transaction ID, or source reference is missing, incomplete, or inconsistent.

Skipped record

A row cannot be reconciled because required data is missing, invalid, duplicate, incomplete, or unusable.

Structured matching first, AI assistance for difficult cases

Cointab applies structured reconciliation logic first, then uses AI to help with difficult open records where fixed rules are not enough.

Matching scenarios

One-to-one
One rake or commission record matches one game round, wallet transaction, contest record, or accounting entry.
One-to-many
One game round or contest maps to multiple rake, commission, tax, partner share, provider share, or settlement records.
Many-to-one
Multiple game rounds or wallet transactions are grouped into one rake posting, commission posting, settlement record, or accounting entry.
Many-to-many
Multiple game rounds, wallet records, rake records, commission records, tax records, and settlement records are grouped and compared together.
Partial matching
Identifiers match, but rake amount, commission amount, platform fee, tax amount, or settlement amount differs.
Rule-level matching
Rake percentage, commission rate, revenue share rule, slab rule, partner rule, provider agreement, or campaign rule is checked against calculated amounts.
Settlement-level matching
Rake revenue, partner share, provider share, commission payable, taxes, deductions, and settlement amounts are compared together.
Net and contra matching
Rake, commission, platform fees, taxes, refunds, reversals, void rounds, cancelled games, chargebacks, recoveries, adjustments, and settlements are netted where required.

AI-assisted transaction matching

After structured rules run, AI helps match difficult open transactions where:

References are incomplete
Game round IDs are formatted differently
Partner or provider names are written differently
Wallet references appear inside long narration fields
One game round creates multiple fee, rake, tax, or commission records
One settlement summarizes multiple game rounds
Refunds or reversals do not directly link to original rake records
Commission slabs require contextual review
Tax descriptions are inconsistent
Partner settlement records are grouped differently from game activity
Amounts require business context
Multiple possible causes exist for the same commission difference

AI exception analysis

For transactions that remain open, AI can help identify possible reasons such as:

Game round missing rakeRake record without source transactionRake amount mismatchCommission amount mismatchWrong commission slabPlatform fee mismatchTax mismatchRefund not adjustedReversal not appliedDuplicate rake entryMissing partner commissionCommission posted without source transactionSettlement timing differenceWrong partner allocationWrong game allocationInternal accounting issueUnclear reference

AI assists matching and exception review, but Cointab keeps reconciliation transparent, reviewable, and audit-friendly.
