PokerRoom.com - Detailed Site Review

Established in 1999, Pokerroom.com is one of the oldest online poker sites around, and, since they are part of the Ongame Poker Network, they carry an established clientele. The poker room itself is very easy to navigate, and they offer a good variety of both cash games and poker tournaments. One of the most attractive features of Pokerroom.com is that you can play on their site without downloading software, making it very easy for Mac users. Also, you can log on to Pokerroom.com through just about any internet cafe in the world.

Their poker promotions are usually generous, including specialized tournaments, frequent reload bonuses, and WSOP qualifiers. The Grand Series of Poker, a series of high buy-in tournaments in almost all popular varieties of poker, boasts a combined prize pool of $2 million dollars over seven events. They also offer a “Become a Poker Pro” promotion that gives one person a chance to play professionally for a year, a prize that is valued at $250,000.

Pokerroom.com also has a decent loyalty program that offers many different poker freerolls and guaranteed poker tournaments. In their Lucky Dollar Tournament, one can play in poker tournaments with prize pools ranging from $250 dollars to $2,500 dollars with just a single buck. Also, they give out player points that can be used to enter free poker tournaments, or converted into cash bonuses.

The biggest knock against Pokerroom.com is their high rake structure for low-stakes limit Hold’em players. Concerning micro-stakes and high-stakes, their rake structure is one of the lowest, but for low-stakes players the rake is extremely high compared to similar sites. To make up for the high rake, however, their reload bonuses are usually more generous than other major poker sites.

For new players they offer a poker school with rules, lessons, basic strategy, and other statistical analysis. They also offer a poker tutorial in Texas Hold’em – a perfect way for new players to be taken through the process of online poker step-by-step.

Pokerroom.com has decent customer support and quick Neteller payouts of 1-3 business days.
