Poker Room Review: Cardspike is a SCAM!

Hey losers, this isn’t how my normal poker sites reviews are going to look, but this is a special case. Usually, I don’t really care where you lose your money… Whether it’s Cake Poker (my recommendation for US players) or Chili Poker, or even the whacky 3D Pkr Room, it doesn’t matter to me to be quite honest. Everyone wins (especially me) and loses (especially me) so where it happens is irrelevant to me.
However, in the case of Cardspike, I have to let you guys know that there is some shady shit going on. It was first brought up in various poker affiliate forums that I participate in, and some blogs have mentioned it too. basically it goes like this: If you are an affiliate or a player on a rakeback deal with Cardspike, you are not going to get any money.
Normally, you probably couldn’t give a damn whether we filthy greedy affiliates make money or not. But think about it, loser: if we aren’t getting paid, what makes you think you’ll get paid in a timely manner? Right now they are buying themselves some time by saying “wait 8 weeks for your check to be sent” to players, but who knows if they’ll be around by then?
Cardspike is affiliated with Cake Network, so chances are, it will be taken care of in some way. How long it will take, and how much money we lose, and whether they will even exist after that, who knows?
My advice is to just forget about Cardspike, and go play at Cake Poker instead.

Thanks for the good word. I never heard of the site but a good heads up for the future. I can let me tourney directors know as well! So many shady poker sites out there, really sad.
