| Paradise Poker is among the top poker rooms when it comes to software and traffic at all the games. The sleek interface is one of the best you will find, and there are always plenty of players at the tables. Unfortunately, the games are very tight and there are very few bonuses and the sign-up bonus is low. It is a great choice for players that are looking for a good experience, with less focus on easy-to-beat games and bonuses. ParadisePoker used to be the world’s largest poker room, but was passive in its marketing. This is also why you find quite strong players at the site (as fewer new and inexperienced players find their way in). |

Software (9)
Paradise Poker is generally regarded as one of the leaders in poker room software. The interface is sleek and functionally sound. Lobby statistics are detailed and nicely laid out. Paradise Poker also supports player notes and has excellent personal statistics tracking. |
Ring game traffic (9)
Paradise Poker used to be the largest online poker room, and is still among the leaders when it comes to traffic. During peak hours, you can typically find over 3000 players at ring game tables. |
Tournament traffic (9)
Tournament traffic at Paradise Poker is also quite high. The number of real-money tournament players during peak hours often reaches over 5000. |
Soft Competition (2)
Paradise Poker is widely regarded as one of the toughest online poker rooms when it comes to level of play. There seems to be a smaller inflow of new and inexperienced players coming in to Paradise, leaving the tables packed with more experienced players. If you are looking for a fish pond, Paradise Poker is probably not your best bet. |
Game Variety (10)
ParadisePoker's game variety is one of the best in the industry, including no-limit and pot-limit at most standard games (Texas Hold'em, Omaha, 7-Card Stud) and more rare games such as Five-Card Draw, Five-Card Stud and Crazy Pineapple. |
Rake (4)
ParadisePoker's rake is slightly less attractive than the average in the industry, at least when it comes to lower limit games. This holds true also for the tournaments, where good rake value only is provided at the higher stakes. |
Promotions (3)
Paradise Poker offers a 25% match sign-up bonus (up to $50). There is currently no loyalty bonus. |
Support (7)
The email support at Paradise Poker is extremely quick. However, there currently is no live online or telephone support. |
Security (10)
One of the earliest poker rooms to come online, Paradise Poker has had an excellent track record when it comes to financial security. No reported problems. |
Deposit/Withdrawal (7)
Paradise Poker accepts VISA, Mastercard, Firepay, NETeller, wire transfers and bank drafts. Cash out process is relatively quick and easy. |
