Poker Room Review
Overview
Poker Room is one of many poker rooms owned and operated by Poker Network- Ongame Group. Poker room shares customer base with Hollywood Poker, Holdem Poker and Euro Poker. Poker Room is currently advertising heavily on television under the logo “all it takes is one killer hand.” Poker Room is the world's leading no-download poker room, with a unique and sleek design and good traffic.
Poker Room also allows access to a casino room that includes: blackjack, roulette, craps and various poker games. The competition on the site is about average. While the signup bonus is not impressive, the regular promotions are numerous and always changing. Poker Room has a stronger emphasis on 6 seat tables than you will find on most other sites but still has plenty of 10 seat tables in Texas Holdem and in tournaments. At Poker Room, they offer players the option of setting up Private Tables and hosting their own tournaments.
Ease of Competition
The competition on this site is about average and getting easier. Recent television advertising has loosened it up a bit from an above average class of player.
