Poker Prop Deals
If you’re a
rakeback player
and you’re in the clear about the benefits of such deals, you’ll be glad to
read this article, because it’s about rakeback deals that offer close to and
over 100% rake rebate, often effectively paying players to play. Such overly
generous rakeback deals are called poker prop deals.
How can a poker room afford though to not only give up its sole source of
revenue but to give money away on top of that? The answer is relatively
simple. Most online poker rooms use props (or used them at one point in
their existence). Poker props are needed to generate action.
When you log into a poker room, you always see action there. Bigger and
smaller poker rooms have natural traffic, but small upstart operations need
to pay players to play there and to provide the critical player liquidity
which is a must if they ever intend to get rolling.
This is why poker rooms give such incredibly generous deals to some of their
players. Signing up as a poker prop is relatively easy, but it does carry
responsibility. Since props are basically the hired hands of poker rooms,
they have to fulfill certain obligations that stem from this setup.
They may be forbidden to play on the limits they want/prefer to. They’ll be
required to sign in with a shift manager before every propping session. The
shift manager will be like a big brother to props. He’ll keep an eye out for
where props are mostly needed and he’ll direct them to those tables.
Being the employees of the poker room, poker props are
required to treat the other players with utmost respect. Swearing and
cursing are absolutely out of the question for props. The number of props
playing at the same table may be limited by the prop rules. It is not in the
poker room’s interest to have props playing among themselves. They need to
provide action for the regular customers and not to one another.
Heads-up play will often be forbidden to props. Besides the ones mentioned
above, other restrictions may be instated as well.
The breaking of the propping rules is usually punished by status suspension
and by the withholding of all due prop payments. Some prop sites enforce
their rules more loosely than others though.
