Short Description
Full Description
The possibility to play without a download at PokerRoom.com benefits Mac and Linux users. It should be noted that Poker Room charges a higher rake than most sites for low- and middle-stakes games.
Software & Graphics:
Pokerroom.com is the best no-download alternative out there. Its graphics is nice and runs smoothly. The download version is even nicer. Pokerroom.com is the best choice for Mac and Linux users. The hand history has a good statistics feature where you can see the hourly win/loss rate and big bets won per hour.
Pokerroom allows up to 4 tables to be played simultaneously.
Games:
Besides Texas Hold'em, Pokerroom has the standard variation of games, Omaha, both high and high-low and Seven-Card Stud, high and high-low.
The rake is at industry standard with 5% max $3.
Poker Tournaments:
Their most famous promotion is their $5 Million Guaranteed tournament. This is an online tournament with a $5000+$20 buy-in that will take place September 2. The final 45 players will play live in Barcelona, with a first place prize of at least $1 million.
Pokerroom reloads generally occur 10-12 times per year.
Player Traffic:
Player volume increased heavily during 2004 and on peak hours there are more than 2500 real money cash game players and 5000+ tournament players. Off course, most of the traffic is at the Texas Hold'em games, probably more than 90% of Pokerroom.com players play Texas Hold'em.
Soft Competition:
The competition is soft and the many of the games are packed with beginners. Even at the higher limits you can find really soft games but that is not as common as it used to be in mid-2004.
Sign Up Bonus:
Sign up bonus: 100% up to $1000 (deposit $500 get $100 bonus) using this link: Poker room 20% Bonus
Clearing Requirement: 7 player points/$1
Loyalty Bonus/ Promotions:
The $5 million guaranteed is similar to another promotion they have ran for awhile, their "Grand Tournaments." These are $1,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em events. There is no entry fee to this tournament (Poker Room will not charge an extra fee in addition to the buy-in like most poker rooms do). For most tournaments that have a $1,000 buy-in, the poker room charges about a $60 entry.
There is also a frequent player program and the points can be transferred for cash or merchandise.
Support:
PokerRoom only offers e-mail support, however, the support staff is knowledgeable and friendly.
Financial Security:
Like all the other major sites Pokerroom.com has no financial problems whatsoever.
Advantages:
- Request a cash out to Neteller and you have it the next business day
- Available in Java and download version
- Mobile poker
Disadvantages:
- Might be un-stable at big tournaments time
