SpadeClub offers a unique way to play poker and with no risk and no deposits. The site offers $100,000 in freerolls to its Exclusive members each month, the biggest of which has a $40,000 prize pool and awards $10,000 to the first-place finisher.

SpadeClub's software bright and colorful and easy to navigate. The software allows for user-uploadable avatars (and has the option to turn off other players' avatars). The site also offers a four-color deck that gives the table a fun feel.

Exclusive members at the site have both a Hand Helper and an odds calculator inset into each table for easy access. The Hand Helper allows players to input their holecards, their position at the table, and the number of players at the table to get a ranking of the hand's preflop value. The odds calculator allows players to input two sets of holecards and anywhere from zero to four boardcards (from preflop up to the turn) to see the odds of one hand winning over the other. Both of these tools are helpful for members to improve their games.

SpadeClub also offers extensive community tools like personal profiles, blogs, and a friend-tracking system. A player's profile shows their bio and interests along with any badges of achievement they've earned. Badges are earned by achieving certain milestones, such as hands played, first-place finishes, or bounties (players eliminated).

The site has plenty of tournaments running 24/7, and they're all freerolls. The flagship tournament for the site is the $40,000 Mega Monthly freeroll. Players qualify for that tournament, as well as the weekly $5,000 tournaments, by playing in free satellites that offer entry-tokens. There are also freerolls that award cash payouts running throughout the day.

Points and tokens are the currency on SpadeClub. Tokens are earned through the qualifiers mentioned above. Points can be earned in almost any tournament (aside from the token-awarding events), including tournaments that already award cash prizes. Players then turn around and use the points they earn to enter bigger tournaments.

The site also offers sit-and-go tournaments to its members. Players can play the sit-and-gos to earn points at all hours of the day, and both single-table and multitable sit-and-gos are available.

The site offers play-money cash games for players to hone their skills.
