Software (9)
The interface at Poker Room is one of the best you will find. It is one of the few poker rooms to offer a 3D version along with the more traditional 2-D play mode. The graphics are very sleek and the functionality is excellent. PokerRoom.com is also one of the few sites that offers a no-download version. Note-taking functionality at Poker Room is some of the best in the industry, allowing you to color-code opponents. For Mac users, Poker Room is an excellent choice because it requires no special installs. For players that wish to analyze their play, personal play statistics are also better and more comprehensive at Poker Room than at most sites. |
Ring game traffic (7)
Very decent traffic volume in all games. One can expect to see over 3000 ring game players during peak hours. |
Tournament traffic (7)
Tournament traffic typically reaches over 5000 real-money players during peak hours. There are also 2 large daily freerolls that draw a lot of traffic. |
Soft Competition (7)
There are quite a few soft games available at PokerRoom due to their good positioning in search engines like Google and their heavy marketing. However, the top stakes games at PokerRoom are less of a "fish pond". Overall, many full ten-player hold'em games have a view flop percentage in the 40s and 50s, and some in the 60s - so the games are quite soft and the trend is good. |
Game Variety (5)
The variety of games at Poker Room is good, but most of the traffic is concentrated in Texas Hold'em. You can play 10-handed, 5-handed, or 2-handed Texas Hold'em (Lim, PL, and NL), plus 10-handed, 5-handed or 2-handed Omaha (Lim, PL, and NL) and 8-handed or 5-handed 7-Card Stud (Lim). |
Rake (5)
The rake is now on par with the industry standard, with 5% of the pot up to a maximum of $3. The policy to rake uncalled bets and no flop games has changed, with no rake taken now. |
Promotions (6)
Poker Room offers a good deposit bonus - a 20% match sign-up bonus (up to $100). There are a good level of promotions nowadays, including two daily $1000 free roll tournaments and two $500 added money tournaments as well as a $2500 added money "Lucky Dollar" every Saturday. Players scoring the most points any given day are also awarded cash prizes, ranging up to $250. |
Support (7)
Poker Roomhas good customer support, with telephone support as well as live online support and email support. Support is relatively quick and knowledgeable. |
