SpadeClub Reaches Milestone of More Than 1,000 Paid Memberships

Poker community accelerates within one-month landmark.

March 11, 2008, Las Vegas, NV: SpadeClub, a popular online poker community, recently reached a milestone of more than 1,000 paid memberships and 10,000 free members.

With March 11, 2008, marking the one-month anniversary of SpadeClub, the innovative poker community has already crowned two $5,000 weekly tournament winners and one $40,000 mega-monthly main event winner. Both $5,000 weekly tournament winners cashed in for $1,500, and the $40,000 monthly winner walked away with $10,000. Each of the three winners has been interviewed and published by Card Player magazine or CardPlayer.com.

Understanding SpadeClub is simple; each player has the ability to win points through tournaments, which can then be used for daily tournaments, which award cash prizes, tournament-entry tokens, or more points. Tokens can be used to enter the $5,000 weekly and $40,000 monthly main events.

SpadeClub offers cash prizes to both Exclusive and free basic members. Exclusive membership allows full access to community features, including creating a player profile, earning badges of achievement, and utilizing an on-table odds calculator. Free basic membership offers limited freeroll tournaments and partial access to community features.
