Poker Room Reviews
Online Poker Rooms love AllOnlinePokerSites.com. They each want our players to come to their poker sites. Because the poker rooms listed on this site must compete with other poker rooms on this site, they offer players going through AllOnlinePokerSites.com links and banners better signing bonuses, additional freerolls - free cash tournaments, and especially reload bonuses. The poker rooms are smart enouph to realize that as an AllOnlinePokerSites.com player, you know where to find a replacement poker room quick enough.
The reviews listed on this website were each reviewed by the staff at AllOnlinePokerSites.com. They were primarily judged on 4 items: Ease of Competition, Bonus/Promotions, Poker Software, Rake/Cashouts/Customer Service.
The number 7, or 7 out of 10, was considered the average in each catagory.
Poker Rooms tend to all flow toward that 7 number. Once a site begins to get very popular, like Party Poker, or Paradise Poker before it, they begin to decrease their signup bonuses and increase their rake, especially on low stakes games, decreasing their overall review number. While the newer sites with the lesser software, become competitive by providing lower than the industry rake, and big signup bonuses. Only by knowing the benefits and the detriments of each site can you make the smartest choices. We give you that information.
Most online poker players play multiple rooms, enjoy multiple signup bonuses, and very often choose a favorite site through that process. We recommend you do the same. Here is a more detailed explanation of the factors that made up each sites overall review:
Ease of Competition: When you are discussing thousands of players on each of these sites, you are discussing degrees. None of them are that much looser than you will find on another site, none of them are that much tighter. But certain sites tend to draw players of a specific level. Although they rarely realize it, better players tend to congragate, often, that is how they became better players. Better players are also the players you prefer to avoid. Over the course of playing a room for significant hours, someone who has played many other rooms can see the differences in play.
Bonus/Promotions: Bonus and promotions was grouped because they have intrinsic value to the other. The startup bonus provides the immediate short term value, while the promotions provide the visitor long term options and benefits. All of the percentage signup bonuses require a certain amount of play to attain. When discussing the startup bonuses, knowing how easy or difficult it is to actually bring the bonus to fruition is of primary importance.
Poker Software: Almost half of the poker rooms reviewed have undergone major software upgrades over the last two years. Some of the upgrades provide nice options. We have found others to be just annoying. Hopefully, we have picked through the maze to assist you in understanding the sites you are likely to better appreciate.
Rake/Cashouts/Customer Service: The rake is the primary issue in this catagory and warranted 2/3 of the overall catagory review. While the rake is standard in most, where it is lower or higher, it is something you must know to make an educated decision for where you should play. The options you have for getting cashed out and how strong the sites customer service is provided the other 1/3 of the catagory.
