Ensure the maximum alloted CardSpike.com bonus by using our links. Card Spike Poker is NOT RECOMMENDED will be launched within a few weeks - is now open on 9/22/08 and features some very well known and respected poker players from within the online poker world. If you want to play on the same network, we recommend Sportsbook Poker or CakePoker.com.

CardSpike.com looks to be one of the few new online poker rooms we've seen over the past year that seems to have a real chance of seperating themselves from the majority of the poker skins that can not compete in the cut throat environment for online poker players. *oh they seperated themselves, they became known as a rogue operation.

Why are they blacklisted? Here is what Google says.

CardSpike.com is managed some of the most well connected online poker insiders in the industry and has joined the CakePoker.com network. They have also built a fully integrated casino client that will allow you to not only get a great game of poker, but if you want to blow off a few bucks playing blackjack or craps you can do that as well.

Quick Card Spike Facts

• CardSpike.com has been BlackListed
• USA Players Accepted
• 97%+ Visa & Mastercard Acceptance Rates
• 100% Deposit Bonus up to $500
• Full Card Spike casino and Card Spike poker room

CardSpike is approaching it from a different perspective, they are working from within the poker community to build out their base of poker players, while also offering generous sign up bonuses for new players looking for a new room to call home. Too bad they blew it.

CardSpike Poker Table Review
Well, we don't know exactly what the CardSpike tables are going to look like, but it's on the Cake Network and we like the Cake Network. Here are some screenshots that we'll update to CardSpike as soon as they are available.

We'll detail the unique things on the Card Spike Poker Table coming soon, but general abilities include:

• Note Taking
• Hand History
• All Standard Buttons
• Easy to see bet amounts, pot size and your cards
• laid out well, familiar style for regulars and easy to pick up for players new to online poker.

A few of the things that I will probably turn off in the lobby was some of the sound effects that went into place.

After I won this hand testing out the play money software, on my very first hand by the way, I got a round of applause from the internet. Uhh, whatever.

I get it all in pre-flop with 99 and get like 7 other all ins... at least the big blind had a real hand but that's free play money poker for you.

The Card Spike Lobby

A nice and clean, easy to navigate lobby is delivered. I really like the color scheme and how easy it is to see the important things about for table selection. If Card Spike does anything special or different than the rest of the skins of the Cake Poker Network, we will feature them here after the launch, but you will are able to:

• viewed-flop percentages and
• average pots sizes.
• easy navigation
• They do not offer any features that are above and beyond any other poker rooms but they do not lack in features either.

CardSpike Poker Games Offered
The games that are offered here are Omaha, Texas Hold’em and Seven-card Stud. All of these games are offered in different variations. They could have better game selection, but they could also have worse.

• CardSpike Casino - blackjack, three card poker, Blackjack Switch, Casino Hold'Em, video poker, slots, roulette, craps and a whole lot more
• CardSpike Poker Room - Texas Holdem, No Limit, Limit, Omaha, Hi-Lo, Eight or Better, Sit-N-Go's, Multi-Table Tournaments, Freerolls

Traffic Levels
The network that CardSpike shares has growing traffic and accepts USA players. There is plenty of choice (20-40 tables) in the micro levels from .05/.10 up to$2/4 or so, and consistent traffic up to the $10/$20 level. During peak hours you will see ten plus no limit texas holdem games at nearly all levels except the highest stakes. Six handed tables get a bit more traffic than their full ring tables of 9 plaers.

Competition - Player Quality at SpikePoker
Being on the CakePoker.com network means that for the most part you can find plenty of really weak players, lots of them. Since you can deposit with a credit card it is easy to start playing there. Find the fish. Profit.

Take a look at the CardSpike lobby. See all those tables with 45% + to the flop. Not bad eh?

Card Spike Tournaments Offered
Suprisingly a lot of tournament traffic here compared to total number of players. I suppose it is the guaranteed tournaments that range from $5k to $75k guaranteed each week. You can find bigger tournaments at PokerStars and Full Tilt, but these look winnable with smaller than average fields compared to the mega sites. The freerolls are reasonable, but I haven't played in more than the initial freerolls you get when you create your account for the first time.

Deposit Options
Credit Cards accepted, very high acceptance rate of all major credit cards. The minimum deposit is $20. Be sure to check out the site for the most up to date deposit methods.

Final Thoughts
CardSpike.com has been blacklisted Since USA players don't have the easiest time finding a trustworthy and reputable that is easy to get money on to, it is a fresh shot of adrenaline into the USA online poker market.
