Damn!, why the table chat is disabled?

And why every time I bet and win I lose 5% from the winning pot?

Sounds like the house rake to me. Rake is The profit a poker room makes off of every cash/bitcoin pot. This is something that is done in all casinos/poker rooms and is how the company, not exclusively makes money. The size of the rake a poker room takes should be a small percentage of whatever the pot is, usually excluding micro stakes. 5 chips seems high, what kind of game were you playing?

Yes it should be the house rake, 5% is a standard rake on poker game imho as it might be higher than that (up to 10%). This is how the house make profit, poker sites wont be survived if they have no rakes. The more active players on the ring games, the more profit a poker site gets.

We collect a constant rate of 4% for all types of ring games. This rake from the pot never exceeds 5000 chips (0.005 BTC). We have "No Flop No Drop" rule, which means no rake is collected on hands that don't make it to the flop.
