The Cake Poker network has grown massively in the last year, primarily because it allows online poker players from the United States to join and play, since the UIGEA ruling many poker rooms pulled out of the US market and their player numbers dwindled extremely quickly.

Due to it's overwhelming popularity the network is gaining many supporters and new skins are appearing, the newest is known as CardSpike.

CardSpike offers poker games for all players, wherever they live in the world. The traffic levels do not match those of the biggest online poker rooms such as Full Tilt and Poker Stars but they are large enough to give you a decent game selection and variety of cash games and tournaments to choose from.

All skins on the Cake network, including CardSpike, share most of the big promotions.  The popular promotions involve Gold Cards and Gold Chips.

By playing real money games on Card Spike you will earn frequent player points, known as FPPs, as these add up you are rewarded with a Gold Chip and you are able to collect an unlimited number of chips.  You can use these chips to enter tournaments and win real money or buy an item from the reward store.

Gold Cards are randomly handed out to players when the table they're sitting at has raked in a certain amount, the software then generates a random card from a standard deck and awards it to the player.  These cards are stored in your account and by accumulating them you can exchange them for large cash bonuses or enter tournaments.

CardSpike also offers all players a $500 deposit bonus and you can get 33% CardSpike rakeback on top of that.
