Cardplayer's Spadeclub

[Potsie P 0]

Did a forum search and didn't get anything on this, but apologies if there's a thread already.Saw a guy with a laptop in a bar playing on SpadeClub last weekend. He told me the basics, so I looked it up. Seems it's a legal way of playing poker online in the US by charging a monthly subscription price for the right to play freerolls that you can use to graduate up to tourneys with payouts of $5K up to $40K.Just curious if any FCP'ers have tried it. Not sure there's any reason to if you already have a working cash account on one of the other sites, but curious to see if this model becomes popular among what I would consider to be a large audience of people who want to play online but don't want or know how to deposit with the current restrictions.Anyone?

BumpI just joined a few days ago and I'm enjoying the site so far. A daily, weekly, and monthly Bellagio satellite has been added for a chance to win a $25,000 seat. I've been focusing on those. It's good times and if anyone else from here plays there look for the screen name ThriceGuy and say hello.

Sorry for the bump, just thought I toss out that SpadeClub is history.Adios.

No subscription site has really been a success so not surprising the the Shulmans have decided to take their lumps and close it down.

A big issue with those sites is that you can play them for free using the lottery system's alternate means of entry. I worked for ClubWPT for over a year before it closed and they weren't doing well.
