Pokerroom Review
“Meet Them and Beat Them” – over 8 million of them to be clear – at PokerRoom.com, one of the oldest and largest online poker rooms in the world, and consistent winner of top industry awards. Any new poker room looking to do it right (or any existing poker room considering an overhaul, for that matter) need look no further than here to learn by exquisite example.
One of the features that has always made Poker Room stand out from the competition is that it is Mac and Linux compatible too, in that there is No Download version of the poker room available for people unable (or unwilling) to download the PokerRoom software. With the No Download software, you play from directly within your web browser. And now, in a recent 21st century innovation, Poker Room can now also be accessed from your mobile phone.
While almost all poker rooms offer a welcome bonus, Poker Room ups the ante and entices new player with even more. Sign up at PokerRoom.com and, beyond the 50% signup bonus (up to $100), you’ll also immediately get 3 tournament tickets with chances to win the WWS or Weekly Welcome Series, promising new players and new players only their shot at building a $2,500 bankroll with no risk.
Besides the obvious Texas Hold’em games, players at Poker Room can also enjoy Omaha, 7 Card Stud, 5 Card Draw – even Blackjack. As for tournaments, Poker Room offers guaranteed prize pool tournaments, daily freerolls, WSOP qualifiers, team tournaments, Team PokerRoom.com tournaments, and private tournaments. There are also ongoing Sit ‘n Go tournaments, and a Sit ‘n Go leader board so players can keep track of their top competition and shoot for glory. Features of the award-winning Poker Room software include real-time player statistics, odds, hand histories, and player notes.
Keeping the adrenaline running high, Poker Room also hosts a ton of special promotional tournaments, including: Spanish Football Freerolls, ChampionChip $500,000 guaranteed tournaments, a $100,000 Freeroll, The Bounty, WSOP 2008, Battle of the Forums, the Race Trophy (a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool and semi-finals located at spots around the world), eSport Team Play, WPT Canada 2007, WSOP Europe, and the King of Hill Tournaments (somewhere between a cash game and a sit ‘n go).
And while that may be a mouthful – it’s not even all! Poker Room also offers players exciting regular, ongoing Feature Events, including: Grand Tournaments (with the biggest buy-ins and prize pools available), Big Deal Tournaments (the biggest weekly tourneys the site offers), Lucky Dollar Tournaments (bankroll-friendly $1 buy-in events with $2,500 added), Live Tournaments (opportunities to play in live televised tourneys), and mouth-watering weekly Grand Prix and daily Midnight Oil tournaments.
But Poker Room is more than just a place online to play your favorite game. It’s also a poker community – or “Pokah” as they fondly refer to it – with blogs, forums, news updates, user groups, and photos and movies. There’s a loyalty program and a refer-a-friend bonus, gift vouchers and a poker shop. Poker Room even helps you to run your own live home game, with software for managing every aspect of running a live tournament smoothly and legitimately. And, as you’d expect from a top-notch, industry-leading poker site, Poker Room also manages a top-notch, industry-leading customer support lounge, with FAQs, and 24/7 assisted customer support via email, phone, and live chat.
Established in 1999, PokerRoom.com is the king of all poker rooms, and the very first to be eCogra certified – a prestigious honor that recognizes a site’s reliability, honesty, and responsibility.
