Everest Poker Review
Overview
Everest Poker is a new and still small poker room. Variety is limited to low stakes and tournament Texas Hold’em. Everest Poker is a multi-lingual poker room and their software is available in 16 languages. The clearance on their signup bonus is very poor although they have an excellent rake system. Other promotions are very limited.
Ease of Competition
The competition is fairly soft. Primarily because the only games that are popular are really low-stake games. Most people play No-Limit Hold'em games with blinds of $.25-$.50 or lower, so the competition is simply not going to be too difficult at these stakes.
Bonuses and Promotions
Regardless of the deposit amount, each player that registers with Everest Poker receives $100 in free bonus money. For every $100 someone wagers, they receive $1 in bonus money added into their real money account. While this is a nice advertising ploy, this bonus takes a VERY long time to clear for small stakes players.
Exclusive to AllOnlinePokerSites.com players, you can expect to get re-load bonuses on a regular basis. Unfortunately, the reload bonus is at the same clearance as the startup bonus.
Everest Pokers promotional program is below average by industry standards. Their most popular promotion is single-table tournaments that are free to enter but have real-money payouts, usually $.05. Although the payout is a mere nickel, the promotion does get a lot of play. Everest Poker also offers a number of free rolls.
Refer a Friend Program: $50 per referral.
Poker Software
The Everest poker software is low end of the industry. The most annoying thing for the player is the cards are frustratingly small to see. Currently, the site only offers Holdem cash games and single-table tournaments. For non-English speakers, the software is provided in 16 different languages. They also offer new players tutorials on how to play Texas Hold'em and how to use their software.
Rake/Cashouts/Customer Support
Everest Pokers rake is a distinct upgrade over the industry standard. Rake is 4% up to a maximum of $3, as compared to the usual 5%. No Rake on all pots that are less than 3x the big blind. There are also numerous other hand exclusions that are not raked. Overall, this is a great rake system for the player.
Cash out options: NETeller and Bank Transfer.
They have customer support available in many languages, which is nice. If you were to encounter a problem at Everest Poker, they offer email customer services at support@everestpoker.com
