The REAL story on Pokershare/UB

[dtbog]

As many have said -- well researched, nice post.

This starts to make me wonder... does UB have any legitimate grounds for righteous indignation here, or are they just an example of the squeaky wheel getting the grease?

What gives UB the right to retain its customers when they are not offering the best deal on the market? If Pokershare is offering players an incentive to play on their site (namely, rakeback + share profits), then they will be making less profit on each player than UB will -- but they intend to make up for that by attracting the bulk of the players.

What "right" does UB have to these players? Sure, they helped build the Excapsa network -- but now the Excapsa market has evolved to include a better product. UB got rich over the last 4 years through the use of one business model, but now a competitor has come along with a better one.

What am I missing here? Why did Excapsa let UB get away with this?

I suspect but could be wrong that the prime movers in UB are also the prime movers in Excapsa. In any case the marketing/growth of UB has to have been the result of the UB principals. Excapsa is the corporate shell which insures that each individual, entity cannot tear down the rest. Excaspa did certainly not build up UB but the opposite.

This affair is Party revisited. The idea that UB and Excapsa are at arms length is specious for they are joined at the hip. The loser in this affair is the Pokershare owners who paid leasing rights/whatever to Excapsa who should have known it was taking swindle money.

Addendum.-Swindle on both sides-- Pokershare owner knew he was going to parasite the work of UB and take the gravy without any effort of marketing(which is primary in online poker in the building up of clientale). Two disingenuous entities clash and one flames in a fire of greed.

The market is UB...Pokershare could not even exist without UB. Excapsa and UB essentially the same entity.

If this were true, then Pokershare would pose no threat to UB.

does anyone know of any other site that does profit sharing simular to this one?

jump-snap-mule kick me to the side of the face if this is a newbie question.

This was inevitable. I was amazed I was even able to grind out a couple months of 30% RB at pokershare. Thought this would happen sooner.

If UB wanting Pokershare out was the reason for them closing, why doesn't pokershare just find a different software source. I only played at Pokershare cuz of the bonuses, not for the software. If they got some decent software and offered the same benefits such as the profit sharing, why wouldn't anyone rather play there. Its obvious people were playing there for the benefits, shouldn't be hard finding new software.

Because they won't have any players.

See GamesGrid. Great bonuses, no players.
