Rakeback: VIP Signup bonus: 300$ Monthly bonus: - Software: Prima poker

 

Based in Canada and part of the Prima Poker network, Poker Share will give you a 100% deposit-match bonus up to $300, but no re-occurring monthly bonuses at all.

PokerShare has quite an interesting history to look back upon: owned by a player, it was first part of the Ultimate Bet network but got booted soon because it became more successful than expected. Many players moved to Poker Share from the star of the network, so they had to be disciplined somehow.

The software they now use, would seem overly simplistic, even dated, for some, however, I happen to like simple stuff that works well so I won’t slam it for that.

When it comes to traffic, Poker Share will surprise you. If you thought you were dealing with a small poker room, you’d better think again. There are 17.000-19.000 players at the tournament tables at peak hours and up to a respectable 3.500 at real money ring tables.
Because of the fact that Microgaming (Primapoker) no longer offers its new players rakeback, you won’t be able to earn any such benefits at Poker Share.

What’s the deal then ? - you may ask. They give you a fair signup bonus but no monthly bonuses and no rakeback? No too impressive, is it?
Well, surprise surprise.

By playing real money tables at Poker Share you will earn FPPs (Frequent Player Points).

These points will not only be exchangeable for gifts and such but they’ll also represent a share of ownership in the company. Impressed now? If you have FPPs amounting to a certain percent of the total number of FPPs all players have earnt, you’ll be entitled to the same percent of the company’s revenue. (Actually not the entire company but Poker Share Trust who own 40% of it, still not a bad deal though.)

The company has been operating for a while on a clean financial record, so I see no reason for you to be worried about your money deposited here.

In order to earn rakeback, you need to gather 1000 FPPs. (that’s like paying $200 in rake)
