At our last review of this on line poker site (24.00 GMT, on 24/5/07) there were 15,236 players logged in.

The Main Lobby interface is straightforward with tabs to choose the type of poker table to play, however a button needs to clicked to play cash poker games, they are run on a separate server.

Having chosen to remain in the tournament department you can choose scheduled or sit and go tournaments. The sit and go allow a choice of 1, 2, or 3 table tournaments. The actual tables then scroll down the left hand pane of the lobby.

The right hand panel gives a nice summary of the tournament that you have highlighted. It shows number of entrants, prize pool, countdown clock etc. There is also an annoying chat box in the left hand pane

The site uses 10 player poker tables with fixed avatars. Play is very simple with big buttons for you desired action. It does not have the facility to show what part of the world your opponents are from, personally I like to know that.

Sign-Up Poker Bonus

The current sign-up poker bonus is 50% of first deposit - up to $100. You will also get 3 tickets to a real money beginners tournament.

Support

Poker Room have been dealing cards on-line since 1999, and that's a long time in on-line poker.

They are very proud to offer a large variety of options for financial transactions including Neteller, Visa, Mastercard, Debit Cards, Click2Pay, Click&Buy, Switch, Delta, Paysafe and Moneybookers.

In order to live up to the word 'secure' in their company mission, several measures have been taken.

One of them is Poker Room's use of Thawte SSL (Secure Socket Layers) Certificates that offers secure communications by encrypting all data to and from the site.

Another is the fact that Poker Room is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission - Kahnawake being the location of the Poker Room servers.

Poker Room has been accredited with the eCOGRA seal of approval, which means that eCOGRA states that their games are fair, that they operate honestly and behave responsibly, that monetary deposits are safe and that winnings are paid out in a timely manner.
