Sponsored Post: Card Room Supply
First an update on ReviewMe. Other bloggers have weighed in on this topic with much discussion, but I think it is mainly a rehash of previous ad revenue discussions, with personal opinions of those behind ReviewMe interjected. They kept up their end of the bargain for the first post I did. I received the payment about two weeks later, proving to me that there is cash flow from this. About three weeks later, I've received the first legitimate review offer from Card Room Supply. Which, if you continue to read this post past the first paragraph, you'll noticed I've accepted. Before I get into the actual review, I want to offer up a suggestion to the ReviewMe business model. As most already know, they split the fee with the blogger from the advertiser for the review. In the past, I've done a couple of product reviews in exchange for samples of the product. Cash is very liquid, but I like the samples. I'd rather have twice the money to use in the advertisers store to buy a product, and then post the review. With that deal, the advertiser would most likely give more, since they would write off the item at cost. They'd probably be willing to pay out more in store credit. I suggest that ReviewMe offers that option to the advertiser, where applicable. I'd bet it would be a more involved post and not as dry as some of the reviews we've seen (and done) up to this point.
At first glance, you notice that Card Room Supply has a great selection of tables. I would say this is their strength. Their selection runs from the common fold out table top to fancy legged fixed tables with lots of thick wood used and matching chairs. They will even do custom graphics on the felt. They also include various other game tables in their selection. Both board games and casino games are available.
They have a modest selection of chips, chip sets, chip cases chip racks, Copag playing cards, and any button you'll possibly need. If you are setting up a serious poker game, they offer a selection of drop boxes.
The bottom tab on their sidebar menu includes a few interesting items. They include a Poker Tournament Timer, Dealer DB, All in Tournament Organizer and Timer. The Timers and the Dealer DB are useful things for players to have for informal games. It saves the pain of resetting the microwave every so often, or missing the beep over all the action. I have the Dealer DB and have been pleased with it's set-up, design and use. The other timers appear to offer more aid, possibly with setting up the structure and controlling the blinds, ante, starting chip count and level time to manage the tournament but I may be mistaken.
The Dealer DB seems to be a little pricey, but I received mine through involvement with Poker Source Online and didn't pay cash for it. The tables can get expensive, but they appear to be worth it.
ScurvyDog also has a review of these guys posted. Feel free to remark on this company if you have experience with them in the comment section.
I feel like I owe my site better and more content after posting this so . . . Coming Soon! I've deposited a bunch of cash at a smaller site and have been trying it out. I'll relate my experiences there next week, hopefully.
