Poker Prop

A Poker prop is a player (or prop, as they are commonly known) that is paid by the poker site to help start new tables and sustain short handed tables while creating a good atmosphere for the other players. The prop plays with their own money, but they get a much better rakeback/propback deal than all the other non prop players for this service. In return, they must follow a few simple rules that each poker site has for their props. They are responsible for their own bankroll and their own wins and losses at the table, but they have a significant advantage by getting paid by the poker room to play this role. A similar situation occurs in live poker rooms and casinos, where some players get paid, comped meals and rooms, for props.

A newer site may have great software, good promotions, but just not enough players. If a new player comes in and sees that there is no one to play against they will leave quickly. Props are there to start action and maintain a good atmosphere by being friendly. For this service the poker rooms pay a competitive price. It also means that the traffic on prop sites, in general, is lower than more established sites, but not always, as some more established sites have realized the value of props for certain areas of their site. In exchange for helping start, sustain games, and following some basic rules, you are paid anywhere from 70-135% of your rake back, depending on the site. Props provide a valuable service to the poker rooms. The poker rooms are willing to pay well to secure reliable props if it helps them increase their on-site volume, start games, and help short handed games stay alive.

If you need further reasons to consider becoming a poker prop, we've noticed changes in the online poker scene the last few years. The players have generally become more skilled and tougher to beat. Some countries have enacted restrictions affecting the quality of the overall casual player pool. These changes require that poker players work harder to improve their game and look for profitable edges. Poker propping is a great edge for the right player. Whereas most players pay around a 5% rake to the poker rooms they play on, with poker propping you can get most or all of that back. In some instances, you can be paid to play. That edge can turn losing and break even players who like to grind into consistent winners and regular winners into much bigger winners.
