    I did a Google search and came up with clubwpt.com run by World poker tour it is on the stock exchange even. it looks like ultimate bet. a little, don't like the monthly fee part but USA has a problem with white collar crime (politicians). have a little $$ left on pstars & ftp..

    Default subscription poker sites

    hi

    as I understand it subscription poker clubs / sites have been tried for a couple of reasons ...

    a) It seems to be a legal get around for US players (but not certain states) as its technically not gambling - you join a "club" and pay subscription / membership and then the club throws tournaments and games etc for all its members

    b) To form a club where I think everyone can play all the games effectively for a fixed monthly membership (then that funding is pooled and allocated to all the games) this way your still winning money from other players but for a known monthly membership

    hope thats a help - we havent currently got any reviews for these sort of sites - but I'll look into it

    of course it all comes down to your own personal feelings on the UIGEA etc - but as has been commented on by many poker rooms and from actually reading the UIGEA bill DOES NOT suddenly make playing poker illegal - it has it least in theory tried to make the processing of payments etc by banks etc from poker rooms illegal - BUT the UIGEA specifically says players are not at risk from the bill - it's all about trying to stop poker by making it ackward for payment processing and doenst criminalise the players at all.

    as always that is just everyones layman interpretation of the UIGEA but it is pretty clear on it

    cheers scrawnybob

    Default impossible payment

    That is why I'm looking into subscription poker (USA based online poker sites) There making it next to impossible to deposit $$$ on Pstars FTP. etc... not the legality of playing online poker. As long as i can make enough $$ for the subscription site to pay for itself it will not be to bad, it wont be the same as FTP. etc.....It is an alternative for USA. online poker players.

    Default spade club poker worst subscription site

    I have played on both pure play poker and spade club poker. I am so frustrated with verify my account on spade club. I had to fax my drivers liscence 3 times. Then there where issues in getting my account verified for cashout. The software on spadeclub is horrendus I cannot see aces in my hand or on board . There is a glitch in my program where support cannot email me they where going to get all these problems straightened out never did. Donk play is constantly rewarded on spade club. I won 150 my first month then took me nine months to cash out. I mailed pure play my drivers lisence and they processed my winnings in less then a week. If you want great customer service and a reputable site choose pure play poker. If you want bad software, non existent support then go to spade club poker. Where a handfull of players consistently win and the others get subjected to donkey beats day after day. I am no longer a member of spade club but do play on pure play and reccomend pure play to anyone who wants to play poke rwithout the risk. I won 200 my second month on pure play and no problems or headaches cashing out. Whenever i have any issue pure play responds in hours even on weekends . Spadeclub dosen't respond.
