| Absolute Poker is a good room for players who want a more intimate feeling and like to be treated like a VIP. AbsolutePoker has a giant first deposit bonus, along with weekly reload bonuses with 10-20% deposit match. The volume is lower than at the top 10 rooms, but you find a good selection of games overall. The software has good functionality and decent interface. |
