FWIW - my Pokershare experience
Yesterday I thought I was joining a new poker site - Pokershare. I wanted to post because yesterday I answered two posts about "also being a UB member" and now I see that I was wrong.
The idea sounded great, and I thought this was a site's idea to combat the "rakeback" deals and to offer something along the lines of O'Doyle's ideas......... Oops, my mistake. Everything said pokershare, but I was just joining Ultimate Bet. Since I already had an account there, I later found that I was only playing on the pokershare "logo" tables, and I just had another acount set up at UB, and I'm not able to get the "share" each quarter for my play [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] For those of you that make your living at UB, well, God Bless you! I don't play their often because I don't do well (which I guess really means that I am outplayed). I did get a 40% bonus with my new account, but after 5 hours I am stuck $47 (which I shouldn't bitch about since I was down $350 at one point), have $129 left in the bonus account, and am calling it quits. Good idea Pokershare, and I wish you guys the best. Next time, give all the info upfront, instead of waiting until you have "spammed" a little and "peaked" our interest. It's my own fault, I suppose, but all this did for me was waste five hours of my time.................. Dogmeat [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] |

Re: FWIW - my Pokershare experience
I noticed the "Can I have an account at UB and Pokershare" question got dodged. Hopefully they can come out and state exactly what is up.

[ QUOTE ] If you have an account at UltimateBet are you allowed to have an account at PokerShare? I do not see any information on your site regarding this. [/ QUOTE ] If you have an UltimateBet account you will be able to USE the software at PokerShare.com, however, you will not be a pokershareclient and therefore not entitled to sharepoints as you are an UltimateBet player not a PokerShare player. Therfore if you require to earn sharepoints you must be PokerShare.com user. I hope this makes sense All the best Max Wright Poker Room Manager at Poker Share.com [/ QUOTE ] |

Re: FWIW - my Pokershare experience
Of course that response says if you are an UB user you can use Pokershare, but to get sharepoints you must be a pokershare user.... Nowhere does it say you CANNOT be a pokershare user if you have an UB account! I am glad that an UB user can use either skin to login, and I would hope the reverse might be true as well... but the real question is can I signup on both!

I agree with OP, they should just say "If you have an existing UB account, you are not entitled to a new account at PokerShare, and will not be allowed to gain poker 'shares'. " |

No better way to make people angry than offer something better than a permanent benefit to new players that existing players can't have. |

Re: FWIW - my Pokershare experience
The whole idea behind a new skin, is to bring in NEW players, not offer the old ones better benefits at their own expense... this shouldn't be too hard to understand!
