Poker.com Poker Room Review

Page Navigation:

Being a new poker room doesn't mean that Poker.com isn't experienced with their players or with their software. Poker.com was launched in early 2005 and has since become a major poker room with many high profile players.

With fresh, clear graphics and great functionality Poker.com has something valuable to offer its players. There are quite a few high value promotions at Poker.com, they offer a weekly $20,000 freeroll and $100 freerolls every three hours.

With such a great domain name like Poker.com you would think it would be hard to live up to such standards but the staff at Poker.com have made it look easy.

The Poker.com software is unique because it was built by them for them. The Poker.com software has revolutionary gameplay features that have not been seen in any other poker room.

Some of these features are the ability to be able to tag players at your table as, for example - 'sharks' or 'fish'. You also have the ability to see the All In percentages - when all remaining players are All In on the pot you can see the relative percentage chances of winning for all the players still in the hand.

Poker.com has one of the best marketing strategies for any poker room available. They offer a $50 refer a friend package, $20,000 weekly freeroll, $4000 weekly freerolls and $100 freerolls every three hours.

There is also $10,000 guaranteed freeroll on Sundays but that can increase depending on how many players enter.

Although a relatively new poker room on the scene, Poker.com has attracted a good amount of regular players. The players are at times quite competitive but are always good company.

With so many freeroll tournaments it isn't hard to see why there is a regular player base.

The poker games currently offered by Poker.com are Texas Hold'em and Omaha Poker, both of these games have fixed limit, pot limit and no limit offers.

Poker.com also offers backjack as a side game if you ever feel the itch to play some 21!

Poker.com offers a wide range of poker tournaments. The most noticable is the $20,000 Weekly Freeroll which is held every Sunday at 2pm EST. The requirements for this freeroll is 2000 comp points in the previous 7 days.

Although Poker.com has such a valuable weekly freeroll they still have more to offer, with $4000 freerolls on Mondays and Wednesday nights at 6pm EST and $100 freerolls every three hours.

Poker.com is the best online poker room when it comes to rewards for their players. Poker.com awards points in "blocks" after 15 consecutive hands have been played. The amount of points for each block varies between 45-150 depending on what stakes you play.

For NL Holdem: 150 points on $0.5/$1 and up. 75 points on $0.25/$0.50 and up. 45 points on $0.10/$0.25 and up. Also a refer-a-friend program exists where you can earn $50 in bonus per referred friend as soon as they have deposited money and played 100 raked hands. The referrer will also be egligble to particpate in a free roll tournament.

Poker.com has the best customer support system with 24/7 customer support with email and live chat being available. The speed of replies is very fast and the customer support team know the software well.

One of the best features at Poker.com is the instant cashouts. Online poker players are known for being impatient when withdrawing their money and the instant NETeller and Click2Pay withdrawals are a nice touch to their service.

Poker.com has the best poker room features of all - they are:

• Custom Table Graphics - Make a final table of a tournament and you'll see the table graphics change to a upgraded tournament final table under the spotlights - Feel like a high roller when you sit at the high rollers table for once.
• Rabbit Hunt - When all remaining players are all in, see the relative percentage chances of winning for all players still in the hand.
• Expose One Card - If you are the last to fold or the winner of the hand, you have the option to expose just one card. Choose to show you ace without your deuce kicker, or just show your deuce to really mess with your opponents heads!
• Instant Withdrawals - That's right, you can withdraw your money instantly with Poker.com through NETeller and Click2Pay.
• Tag players - in game you are able to choose from a variety of tags to help you remember player attributes. Fish, sharks, bluffers, muppets & more!

Poker.com is a stand alone poker room at the moment although I have heard rumours other rooms will be added to their network soon. Their staff are great - very friendly and helpful with a wealth of online business experience. You can interact with management directly through the Poker.com Forum and feedback forms.
