Commonly referred to as proposition players, prop players or props the poker prop is a poker player who works on behalf of online poker sites or brick & mortar poker rooms to start poker games or help maintain table action in existing games. The poker prop is paid an hourly rate or rake-back percentage of poker games he or she plays in as compensation for their services. The difference between a poker prop and a house player (or shill) is that a poker prop plays with his or her own bankroll.

A prop is a poker player who gets paid by a poker room to start new tables and keep games going. Generally these are small sites with very few active players. The poker rooms goal when using prop players is to make their site look active enough so a new player will be interested in joining.
