All of the most important information used for selecting the right table is here... average pot size, players per flop and hands played per hour.

Graphics (Rated 7 out of 10)
A soothing blue color is the main thing you'll notice about the look of the software and tables. When you open a table, you can choose between a normal or mini-view. In normal-view mode you can see the avatars for each player and your points (called CPPs) if you turned on the option to view your points while at the table. In the mini-view these options are not available, but this mode is useful if you like to play more than one table at a time (you can play up to 16 tables at the same time at CelebPoker!) Some players may find the sounds aggravating, but fortunately you can switch them off.

Profitability (Rated 9 out of 10)
CelebPoker has one of the best VIP reward programs out there. As you play you earn CelebPoker Points (CPPs) which determine you VIP level. There are six different levels, and the better level you have, the more rewards you receive! They boost the amount of points you earn each month depending upon your level (get up to 60% more points), and at any time you can use your points to claim different cash rewards and tournament tickets. In addition to all of this you can get in on some cool races such as the Double-Up Race or the iPoker Rake Race!

I liked this room because of its software which is simple and fast to launch.
Be careful to the bonus which is very difficult to finish because of the rake to generate. If you play high limit no problem. But if you play like me in small limit... it will be difficult.
Celeb Poker: easy promo

Celeb poker was very easy to clear. It required 600 raked hands & like all Boss Media / IPN sites it's contributed rake. The way to clear this one is to play micro-limit 5-max Stud. In stud you pay an ante every hand so EVERY hand is raked. You can play micro limits (10 cent antes) & it's a fun way to learn a new game. If you can't play stud then micro NL works well too.
Ok site

Not much bad to say about this site. Although you have to contribute to the pot in order to get raked hands...not good.

made out well, made like 100 for a deposit of 100 and had no problems getting my savvy points. Guess there must have been some problem because its no longer open to sign up, but if they open it up again i'd say its an easy way to get savvy points.

CelebPoker is a part of the Boss Media Network, probably the worst network when measured in competition, so it is very soft. It isn't a surprise to see a 5/10 full FL table with flop 50%. Unfortunately the software is pretty slow and the bonus clearing system is just awful. However the graphics are OK. The cashouts also take ages, mine was 5 days, and thats probably the worst speed i've seen anywhere. So, the competion is really soft, and if you're willing to give up good software for fishes, this is the place for you.

i've been playing on the boss network almost half a year and i was excited when i found one of their skins on PokerSavvy. The place is great when playing low limit pl omaha and also texas hold'em is pretty easy. Points and signup bonus cleared in two nights multitabling 2-4 tables.

I felt that the software options such as account info, bonus points etc were lacking but overall was a good site and cleared the pokersavvy bonus faster than I thought. But not likely to be one of my regular poker rooms.

Celeb Poker was a real easy bonus. Now that I'm totally into Poker, that was an easy bonus to clear even tough I didn't have much time. Played 2-3 tables at a time and cleared the bonus in approximately 5 hours total.
Easy 750!

I enjoyed playing at CelebPoker. The graphics and software was nothing special. What I did like was that in order to quailify for a raked hand, all you have to do is bet or place a blind - NO MINIMUM RAKE! So play 500 hands and you're in! The only problem is that CelebPoker doesn't have a way for you to track your raked hands. You have to e-mail customer service to get this information. And save your e-mails! I had one person tell me I had 351, only to be told the next day by another person that I had 325, even after playing the night before. Some screwy stuff. But I had already made it past the halfway point, so I played on. No one at CelebPoker that I ever spoke to knew what PokerSavvy was. So needless to say, I had some problems getting my 750 Savvypoints credited. But I e-mailed PokerSavvy and it was corrected with 2 hours!

This site is part of the boss media network. At low limits, the games are very loose and mostly passive. It is one of the easier sites to beat. You can only play a maximum of five tables at a time though. It does take a while to clear the 500 contributed hands and the only way to find out the amount of hands that you cleared is to ask the support. Overall, it is a decent site and I would recommend it.

Pretty good games and players. Support staff was a little flakey. I enjoyed the site alot and would probably use it, except I did get sucked out on pretty badly so I may just play else where...stupid runner runner flush.

Slow site to clear *BUT*
Nice interface and very weak competition at LHE
Playing the EURO currency was esp. profitable.
Overall: tougher to clear, but a good site to return to when other sites are looking rockish...
Good graphics, traffic and experience

Celeb Poker has a very slick and polished look to it, which enhances the playing experience.
Navigation is very easy and the ring game traffic is very plentiful.
The support is speedy by live chat and email.
The short-handed games are 5-seaters instead of the standard 6-seaters, which takes some adjustment.
The promo clears a bit slower and the bonus takes awhile, but is a good site to spend a lot of time on.
nice graphics, lots of fish

CelebPoker is a relatively new room but it's already a nice place to play - good graphics and a lot of very weak players. Can be a very profitable place to play.
