Poker Share

Summary (5.4)

Poker Share is a relatively new name in the world of online poker gambling. Despite a plethora of various rooms, Poker Share has established itself as a unique poker provider who offers stock hold to its players. Add a wealthy bonus to that, worth a total of $300, and you get a pretty interesting poker room. The Software is great if you enjoy fast-paced poker games against some of the softest competition, but the lack of proper tournaments and cool satellites is crippling the final result of Poker Share, which still manages to climb to the top of poker rooms thanks to creative thinking.

Software (7)

Poker Share uses Microgaming software to provide what they think is the best online poker client. The EveryPoker.com staff is certain that most people agree that it is good software, although the graphics could be purtier than they are. Aside from that, the lobby is superb in terms of filters and navigation. The table is decent and delivers a very smooth and fast-paced game.

Traffic (6)

You will find plenty of competition even at high stakes ranging as high as 20/40. This is considerably good for a network with about 4000 connected users during peak hours. Roughly half the amount of players reside in the ring games.

Tournaments (3)

If you're on the hunt for tournaments, keep looking. Poker Share offers sit & go games in many variations and does so with some success. Unfortunately, as far as tournaments go, only scheduled tournaments of the regular type can be found here. The buy-in fees go as high as $20,000, but you will probably find more thousand dollar bills inside a homeless guy's pockets than hooking up with competition at these levels.

Game Variety (6)

The variety of games is not outstanding, but if you are a regular poker player, you will hardly complain about the list of game types. You can choose between Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo and 5 Card Stud. Turbo games are available, but in a very limited form.

Soft Competition (8)

The competition is usually not very tough at Poker Share. Successful marketing has brought a lot of new players to the site, some experienced and some not so experienced. We believe that you will be able to tell the difference. High stakes are usually tighter than the usual, but if you're not exceeding 0.5/1 stakes, then count on a lot of fishing.

Sign Up Bonus (5)

EveryPoker.com and Poker Share are offering a Poker Share sign up bonus worth a total of $300. With a match of 100 %, you are required to deposit $300 in order to claim the full bonus. It is farily simple to claim, but we recommend that you play at least $1/$2 stakes to make it worth the effort. To claim the bonus, you are required to enter the Poker Share bonus page. Once you are there, enter the Poker Share bonus code top300 and download the client.

Loyalty Rewards (6)

Poker Share may ring a bell to stock holders. Its name is based on the very concept of this online poker room. Players are rewarded while playing poker through the Frequent Player Points programme. Every raked hand counts and awards the player. The more you play, the bigger the share of Poker Share you get. To benefit frmo this programme, we recommend that you are a high stake player.

Promotions (3)

Unfortunately, Poker Share is running low on promotions. Currently, you can benefit from the Share Points programme which is described above under Loyalty Bonus. You can also claim a wealthy bonus worth up to $300 with a 100 % deposit match.

Support (5)

The only way of communicating with Poker Share agents is to mail them directly via the Poker Share web site. Most questions are probably already answered in their highly comprehensive FAQ. Unfortunately, there is no telephone support nor any live chats.

Deposit & Cashout Methods (5)

Cash-outs: Neteller, Checks and FirePay.
