As you can probably guess from the site’s name, Pokershare is an online poker room. Unlike some other “specialty” gambling sites, Pokershare does not really offer much in the way of side games. Therefore, if you are not a hardcore poker fan, this site is not really meant for you.
Pokershare is an adherent of Responsible Gaming. No players under 18 are allowed. The site offers some advice and links for players who are problem gamblers, or think they exhibit problem gambling behavior. However, its actual support for problem gamblers (that goes beyond words and posting of links) is not as extensive as it is on other sites.
Promotions and bonuses
The welcome bonus is particularly generous, at a maximum of $1,000. (Other online casinos have welcome bonus upper limits of a few hundred dollars.) However, be advised that you will not be getting the welcome bonus all at once. Rather, it will be released to you gradually, $10 at a time. This helps to prevent abuse of the bonus system by people who would just sign up to get the bonus, then close their account and run off with the money. There are also various tournaments and progressive jackpots for site veterans. However, for long-time players, the real draw is the VIP Loyalty Programme. You get personalized service, plus direct contact with the person managing your account. Financial processing is also faster. Of course, you also have access to other promo packages that “ordinary” players will not be able to use. On a final note, you can also get bonuses for successfully referring friends to the site.
Casino's Games
As has been said before, this is most definitely a poker site, tailored to players who can spend hours on poker without needing to switch to another game for “breaks.” However, it has practically everything a poker player will need. You can chat with other players, join tournaments, learn poker, and improve your skills through tutorials.
Safety and security
The site purports to use 128-bit encryption to protect your data from external threats. Then again, not all security threats always come from external hackers. If for some reason you feel the casino has accidentally or deliberately cheated you, your financial transactions are all recorded, and you can take a look at them. Records are also open to external auditors.
Support
This site has FAQ pages for various concerns, so it is easier to find the topic of your choice without having to scroll down, down, and yet further down one massive page. If you need to contact site staff, try sending them an email. Interestingly, you can get email support in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. There are phone numbers for the USA, UK, and Canada, as well as a live chat option for all players.
Language
This site’s content is in English (in its default URL), but can also be accessed in French, German, Italian, and Spanish.
US Players
Despite the fact that a contact number is offered for the USA, many sources affirm that Pokershare no longer accepts US players.
