Online Poker News from pokeraffiliateworld.com 11/2/2005

 

In an unprecedented move yesterday, Excapsa Software Inc. closed all American and U.S. based poker players accounts at it's newest card room PokerShare.com.

 

Although details are still sketchy there are many rumors littering the internet.  All we can divulge right now at Poker Affiliate World are a few facts that affiliates should know before making assumptions.

 

Let's dispel a few myths about PokerShare.com and UltimateBet.com. PokerShare is NOT a skin of UltimateBet. Both companies are essentially skins of Excapsa Software Inc. which is based out of Canada. So contrary to popular belief Ultimate Bet does not make a percentage off of PokerShare's players. The only benefit they gain is having more active players on the network.  
  
There is no question that up to this point UB has been the flagship product and brand to Excapsa Software Inc. UB was launched back in 2001 and has grown to be one of the Top 5 poker websites in the world. Some of the other websites on Excapsa's network include: 
  
UltimateBet.net, UltimatePoker.com, DiscoverPoker.com, BenefitPoker.org,
cardplayerpoker.com, ACFPoker.com, GreenTiePoker.com, DV8Poker.com.............  
And of course the newest brand to the network PokerShare.com.

 

Here are the facts.  Last night all players received the following email from a third party and not from support@PokerShare.com.  Max Wright, CEO of PokerShare.com has publicly stated that he was not aware of this change and it was made as well the emails being sent without his knowledge.
