It's very widespread, and it's actually one of the worst houserules you could use. It actually causes the game to break!
The reason is that, on an average pass around the board, you'll lose over $200. So, there's a spiral downwards with your cash that means the game has an end.
If you use the Free Parking houserule, that isn't in effect: more money is placed in the game than is taken out. And thus you get the game of
Monotony (not that I enjoy the game much in any case) where it just drags on and on and on and on...
Cheers!
