PokerRoom

Résumé (Rated 8 out of 10)

As the online poker industry navigates its way through this period of boom and expansion it is sites like PokerRoom that are leading the way. Slick graphics, extensive game selection, and all-round high standards, including players, make this is one of the most enjoyable and competitive playing experiences available. It is a place for good players to play good players for big stakes.

Choix des parties (Rated 9 out of 10)

PokerRoom’s game selection is one area in which they particularly excel with most players and every major game choice present and correct. Cash game options include limit, pot limit, and no-limit Texas Hold’em, regular and Hi/Lo 7-card stud and Omaha, and even 5-card draw. Each of these games are available pretty high on the stakes scale with, for example, limit Hold’em up to $500/$1000 and NL up to $50/$100, though there is a relative lack of games for the low-limit player with 25c/50c generally being their bottom rung. One fairly unique opportunity at PokerRoom is the option to set-up private games, both of the cash and tournament varieties. Tournament play in general is equally extensive though again with a more restrictive buy-in range than some other rooms. Scheduled games provide more options for the low-roll player than the site in general with a few freeroll, $1 and $2 tournaments thrown into the mix, though the majority begin at $5, ranging right up to the $1000 mark. Within these there is a lot of imagination and variety in terms of re-buys, prize pools, and satellites, including many to WPT events. These events can also be accessed through the huge selection of sit-and-go’s, which is somewhere the more low stakes players will likely be drawn due to the number of $1 games available. Among the very few weaknesses at PokerRoom in terms of game selection are the lack of non-hold’em tournaments and perhaps the lack of multi-table non-satellite games but, if these details are enough to put you off, then it may be fair to say that you are spending too much good poker playing time thinking about it.

Niveau des Joueurs (Rated 9 out of 10)

Player quality at PokerRoom can very much be equated to other high quality yet relatively low traffic sites such as Full Tilt – that is, very high player quality. The many attractive aspects of the site combined with its suitability for players who are willing to commit a higher bankroll means that there are large amounts of strong opponents to be faced here. This can be said to be pretty well true of the site as a whole although quality will, of course, increase proportionately as the stakes go up. Even low stakes games here will be made up of an unusually high concentration of solid players, most likely using the site as the good practice tool it is. The inevitable number of weaker players will most likely be found in low buy-in or freeroll tournaments but, with the amount of people entering these games usually rising to four figures, the weakness of players is largely irrelevant since getting through two thousand bad players isn’t exactly a walk in the park. On the upside though, the quality of this site will eventually draw a lot more players of every standard.

Logiciels (Rated 9 out of 10)

The software at PokerRoom is, again, a cut above what is average or industry standard. The basics of the set-up process are about as smooth and simple as can be hoped and there are several little pieces of original thinking which set the site apart. Examples of this include an online, no-download game play option, a version of the site for mobile phones and excellent internet support such as info bubbles when the cursor is floated over the various areas of the interface. The clarity and smoothness of their in-game play also matches any other room out there. Chat capability is exceptional as well. Each aspect of the main user interface runs efficiently and combined cover all the necessary options, such as quick access to online support, player and table finding capabilities and information guides to each table as well as each player at those tables. There are also note-taking opportunities about each opponent. One slight weakness is the minor awkwardness in accessing account and cashier information, though it must be stressed that this is a minor problem. Furthermore, PokerRoom is also available for Mac users.

back to top

Graphismes (Rated 8 out of 10)

There seem to be two ways which online poker sites approach design and looks, either fun and funky or stylish and atmospheric. PokerRoom certainly sits in the latter of these two categories and most likely sits at the top of it. The main interface is sleek and original but ultimately very usable, dividing games into ‘Ring Games’ and ‘Tournaments’ and sub-dividing them in a well-organized and attractive way. PokerRoom’s table graphics attempt and achieve a high level of realistic, 3-dimensional animation, going for the ‘final table at a casino’ atmosphere. Everything, from the look of the dealer at the table to the rope surrounding it, add to this feel and therefore to the enjoyment of playing. Surprisingly though, the avatar options at PokerRoom aren’t very versatile. Despite a high level of realism and personality in the animation, each player has no choice as to which avatar he/she is, this depending entirely on which seat you are in. This is a slight pity since it means that every table you play on at PokerRoom looks identical in every way to the last one.

back to top

Rentabilité (Rated 5 out of 10)

For low-rollers PokerRoom can be considered a good site to play at but the higher the stakes go, the harder it is to make money. Opponents aren't the easiest in low limit games either but there is some cash that can always be made. If you're looking to practice against tougher opponents in medium or high limit games, then PokerRoom is the place for you. However, if you are in search of weaker players then you should look elsewhere because these players might just end up breaking you.

My pokerroom review

Posted Mar 30, 2008 by buttis

Bonus was quite an easy to clear at the level NL50. Games were also loose and soft at the ongame network so I can recommend this bonus for everyone who does not already have an account at Pokerroom!



           

great room, great bonus :)

Posted Mar 25, 2008 by muskelman79

I got 600pokersavvy points = 60$ on my moneybookers, just for 200 player points at pokerroom. I don't like the software of pokerroom much, but this is a fantastic offer :)



           

Good traffic - bad players

Posted Mar 19, 2008 by hunzknochen

easy to clear this bonus on NL25SH. Good traffic and not so good players. The software isn´t the best. Uses lots of resources on my old computer.



           

PokerRoom

Posted Mar 19, 2008 by juhamkoi

Hello
I have only good to say of PokerRoom. Registration was easy, no phone calls or anything else like that (sending documents...).
200 points is easy to get playing cashgames (0.25$/0.5$) or sit'n go tournaments (5$-10$ buyin) like I did.
I can recommend this site to everybody who needs easy PokerSavvy points:)



           

Soft game, but takes a little time to clear.

Posted Mar 12, 2008 by Tjallan3

I found the low stake NL cash game soft, as the lowest stake is 0.15/0.25c NLH there's alot of fishs on the site, and always games going on. The only thing is that it takes a decent amount of time to clear the bonus if you only play 1 table at a time at the low stake limit.



           

Pretty cool room

Posted Mar 01, 2008 by makan18

It is quite good poker room with a lot of weak players. Software isn`t perfect but I used to it quickly. It is very easy to complete this promotion for players who play NL25 or higher.



           

Nice room

Posted Mar 01, 2008 by jim1983pim

this room is maybe the easiest to get fast savvypoints.

nice tournament, bad players, fast cash-out... very good room



           

Review : Average

Posted Feb 29, 2008 by chippi84

This poker room is average, because the software uses a lot of ressources.
The competition is low, a lot of weak players. The signup bonus clears slow, so you have to play higher limits.
A good room for beginners, but not for experienced multitablers.



           

Fast and comfortable

Posted Feb 24, 2008 by Taija

Fast to clear the bonus, fast payout and fast savvy points - top score!

I recommend playing 7stud if possible to clear the points fast. One needs to invest money in the pot in order to receive points at PokerRoom. Since there's an ante policy in stud, everybody gets maximum points in every hand unlike in hold'em where most people just fold pre flop and get zero points.



           

small tables

Posted Feb 19, 2008 by nils101

Unfortunately there are just tables with 5 player max on the lower limits. But you can get the points very fast and the other players mostly very weak.



           

real suffer

Posted Feb 19, 2008 by Hyppysuora

I had the biggest downswing of my career. Players in limit tables are quite aggressive and there are many good players. Not good profitability.
Software and graphics are junk.

There are just 2 positive things: a great bonus and lots of tables to choose.



           

Low limit tables missing

Posted Feb 19, 2008 by JoeDalton

I generally like ongame's low limit tables, but for some reason this site didn't have em. Anyways this is very easy bonus to collect and with right sized deposit the 1st deposit bonus clears in same time that the pokersavvy bonus. Easy and fast bonus.

Very fast room to earn savvy points and deposit bonus.



           

Ugly room with bad players

Posted Feb 18, 2008 by PetrBlaha

Pokerroom is room for you if you don't mind slightly confusing software. Players there are sooo sloppy that it sometimes seems that they really want to give you their money ! Try it out for sure



           

very good

Same like hollywood poker. The ongame network. Very easy to acquire a points. It took me about ten hours to finish a bonus

Hard to get the Bonus

Posted Feb 06, 2008 by carefulmic

It was hard for me to get the savvy bonus in this room. The frequency at the Omaha tables are moderate.
There are many tight and good players, so its difficult to earn some money.
The software is not very good, but the graphic is ok.
5 stars for the support.




           

Nice One!

Posted Feb 02, 2008 by Sunnymatrix

The Software of the Pokerroom was o.k. and the Players are incredible bad!

I doubled my deposit and took also the bonusfrom Pokersavvy! It was a nice experiance!



           

PokerRoom

Posted Jan 28, 2008 by Jay Dawg

This was a easy bonus to clear. The competition is not nearly as tight as the room discription leads you to believe. Anyone playing ABC poker should easily make a profit. The tournaments are quite easy to beat.



           

Decent Pokerroom @...PokerRoom

Posted Jan 24, 2008 by marsupilami74

This bonus was an easy bonus to clear on PokerSavvy. The player pools is quite weak and easily exploitable. Unfortunately, I did not like the software much, but all the money I made helped make up for it! I recommend this bonus.



           

Bad players, easy tournaments

Posted Jan 21, 2008 by Leviathan

The players were the worst I have seen so far which in turn meant a couple of really sick bad beats. Bluffing is not possible. Tournaments are really beatable and the software works nice as long as one opens a maximum of 3 tables. Otherwise, at least with me, it starts to shut down tables randomly. Also, beware if you are on a waititn list and that table will pop up, closing down another...



           

Easy to clear

Posted Jan 14, 2008 by SheriffWoo

That bonus is quiet easy to clear, took me 2 days of playng NL $50 SH. Didn't like the software though...
All in all, nice site for getting the 600 SavvyPoints.



           

PokerRoom: 5/5

Not a Fan of Ongame But Easy Bonus!

Personally, I don't like any poker room on ONGAME network. However, the Savvy bonus is quite easy to complete on this website and the play is extremely weak. Enjoy Free money and SavvyPoints here!



           

My PokerRoom Review!

Posted Dec 06, 2007 by p3tr1

PokerRoom's software is not the best, but the graphics are fine. The players there were not very good. It was hard to get other players to join the Omaha Sit'n'Goes.



           

Very good poker site!

Posted Dec 03, 2007 by Westsidevm

PokerRoom is a very, very good poker site. They have a lot of traffic in the evening, over 20,000 players which is amazing! They have very good players there, which is good for me because I can't play against fish. They have a good bonus program and great tournament offers. On the downside they don't offer any micro-limits tables and their tournament lobby is a bit confusing to navigate. Overall this was a nice bonus, thank you PokerSavvy!



           

My PokerRoom Review!

Posted Nov 30, 2007 by Uunis

This bonus is easy to clear at $25 and $50 max buy-in no-limit tables since you only need to acquire 200 PokerRoom Points to finish it. The tables are from fishy from time to time, and the tournaments are also very playable, however their software sucks.



           

My PokerRoom Review!

Posted Nov 29, 2007 by Henk_M

PokerRoom has nice graphics. I always played on Prime Poker and because this site is on the same network as Prime, I liked it. It's very easy on the eyes and you can clearly see the amount of bets and rake being collected. I think this site sets an example for other poker sites.



           

My PokerRoom Review!

Posted Nov 22, 2007 by VilEli

I really like the OnGame Network. PokerRoom is a nice site with great graphics. PokerSavvy's bonus was easy to clear at low limits. PokerRoom's first deposit bonus could be better.



           

Nice!

Posted Nov 20, 2007 by Turkman561

Yep, this was a nice experience. I liked their software client and the tables were quite fishy. The graphics were nice and everything worked out well!



           

Really easy!

Posted Nov 18, 2007 by funkaho

It only took me about three or four hours to clear the bonus requirements there while playing two $1/$2 fixed-limit Hold'em tables. Really easy!



           

Poor software...

Posted Nov 15, 2007 by Mr_Andrew

PokerRoom has many fish, a nice amount of player traffic, and this is an easy bonus. However, their client software is poor... The tables cannot be resized and you have to sit out in order to get more chips.



           

My PokerRoom Review!

Posted Nov 12, 2007 by pokerpig

PokerRoom offers a huge community of players, fast and good support and there are many fish playing there. On the downside, their tables not resizable and there are better bonuses to be found at other sites on the OnGame Network.



           

My PokerRoom Review!

Posted Nov 05, 2007 by evvk73

Yet another good bonus. Like other OnGame Network sites, I played this bonus at shorthanded Hold'em tables. It was quite easy to play, even in lower limits.

It's easy to get SavvyPoints playing at PokerRoom, but there's nothing special here. The first deposit bonus was a little tricky, but still a great deal.



           

My PokerRoom Review!

Posted Oct 23, 2007 by icefloe

I didn't like PokerRoom because they have bad software, no micro-limit tables, and the players there are very unskilled.



           

I had problem with the strange, fishy players.

Posted Oct 03, 2007 by tatry1

At this room many players play with nothing. Very often I came across people that went to the river with not even so much as a pair! It isn't easy to play with pocket Kings pre-flop against crazy guys who will call the blind with a hand like 73 suited and ends up making a flush! But of course I recommend this room.



           

My PokerRoom Review!

Posted Oct 01, 2007 by Rauha

Hello all, I completed this bonus playing $25 and $50 max buy-in pot-limit Omaha. This time I only played full ring games and stayed away from 5-max tables to avoid big swings. Again, this is a very easy bonus to clear. If only the OnGame network client software was better... The tables cannot be resized and you have to sit out in order to get more chips. But still, thanks PokerSavvy!



           

My absolute favorite room!

Posted Sep 24, 2007 by Kevman12

PokerRoom is my absolute favorite site to earn SavvyPoints at! It took eight hours of multi-tabling four $.25/$.50 no-limit games to clear the bonus requirements. The fishy opponents there brought me $115 in profits. Thanks for this bonus!



           

My PokerRoom Review!

Posted Sep 22, 2007 by Mazaayup

They have nice reload bonuses at PokerRoom. Also, with medium skilled players the OnGame Network is very good place to make money if you know how to play semi-loose. Poker Tracker works with PokerRoom and you can see what your opponents are doing. PokerSavvy gives a very good bonus for playing at PokerRoom!



           

My PokerRoom Bonus Review!

Posted Sep 20, 2007 by Arrowgiambi

My first sign-up for a PokerSavvy bonus was with PokerRoom. The site has good software and the bonus was very easy to clear. The games looked very smooth graphically. Once I cleared my bonus requirements, PokerSavvy credited my account with my SavvyPoints very quickly. A great first experience!



           

My PokerRoom Review!

Posted Sep 18, 2007 by kaalinaama

PokerRoom is one of the oldest poker sites there is. PokerRoom is part of OnGame Network and the software worked fine with no problems at all. Their deposit bonuses could be bigger, but PokerSavvy's bonus were quite easy to collect.



           

My PokerRoom Review!

Posted Sep 06, 2007 by tomikos

It's an OnGame site, so its quite easy to clear the bonus, it takes a few days at $25 max buy-in no-limit tables. My cash-out was quick, so I was satisfied with this site.



           

Nice site and good games!

Posted Sep 06, 2007 by otsir

This is one of the best bonuses. If you're only bonus whoring, you should deposit about $75 because then you have to collect only 200 points and you'll get the SavvyPoints bonus plus PokerRoom's own bonus (worth about $30.) So, this is very easy and profitable site to play through PokerSavvy! And there are lots of bad players on this site. Thanks PokerSavvy!



           

Easy to clear playing single-table tournaments...

Posted Sep 02, 2007 by pernavoi

OnGame is nice poker network. If you play low stakes games, the easiest way to collect the required points is to play heads up single-table tournaments. That's probably the fastest way to clear this bonus.



           

Heaven or Hell?

Posted Aug 27, 2007 by Sunshinedust

I tested out PokerRoom because I thought the PokerSavvy bonus was easy to clear, of course it was, but there were a few problems. The software is fairly normal with no extra features and other stuff, not very nice but it works. I deposited $100 and received a $40 welcome bonus (requires 280 Player Points to clear) the PokerSavvy bonus requires 200 Player Points to complete. First of all, there are no $25 max buy-in no-limit tables, so I had to sit down at the $50 max buy-in tables. So far, so good. I made a few points playing at three tables at the same time and that worked really well. When I had nearly 200 Player Points my bankroll was somewhere between $90 and $110. I had to take some serious bad beats in that time so I was sometimes down to $40 or $50 and worked up again to $100. I really don't like this poker room because there are mainly loose players who call too much, for example a pre-flop raise of four to five big blinds with 72o and catch lucky to make the nuts. At the end, I cleared my SavvyPoints bonus and my welcome bonus. I think I lost something like $20 or $30 dollars by the time I got my SavvyPoints. It took somewhere between 2,000 and 2,500 hands to clear the bonus. I have to say I will never repeat playing at this room. For lucky players, this is the right place.



           

Good Overall!

Posted Aug 18, 2007 by Jinou

Good choice if you like playing on the OnGame Network. Everything works well, I got my SavvyPoints fast. The competition there isn't that tough. Lots of great tournaments. The deposit bonus offered by PokerRoom takes some time to clear.



           

Nice points!

Posted Aug 16, 2007 by SuperFIN

This poker room is a very good place! I played through the requirements of this bonus in about two hours playing $50 max buy-in no-limit Texas Hold'em. Thanks PokerSavvy!



           

Nice room!

Posted Jul 16, 2007 by mpietari

This room was pretty easy to clear at least at small-stakes no-limit tables. Plus, PokerRoom is part of the OnGame Network, which is my favorite poker network, easy money!



           

Very easy bonus!

Posted Jul 10, 2007 by Ghoulio

This one is very easy to clear, even though you cannot play at more than four tables at the same time.



           

My PokerRoom Review!

Posted Jul 10, 2007 by Monni

PokerRoom has a nice web page and useful user info. The graphics are the standard OnGame graphics. There are lots of players in the ring games and tournaments. The only downside is that there are only poker and casino games, no sportsbook there.



           

Not so easy!

Posted Jul 10, 2007 by smorek1

Very nice room with great graphics. Collecting the points required to clear the bonus wasn't too easy, but I was able to do it in three days of playing two $25 max buy-in no-limit Hold'em tables at once.



           

Very good site!

Posted Jul 09, 2007 by Haukifile

One of the nicest OnGame Network sites available. The site looks good and is easy to navigate, their support is quick and the games are fishy. The PokerSavvy bonus is also very easy to clear, so it's definitely worth playing!



           

Soft opposition, but poor software.

Posted Jul 01, 2007 by MrYann94

One of the fishiest networks, but multi-tabling is hard because of their poor software. They have a bad table pop-up system, it's impossible to play with "cascaded tables", and you have to sit out to rebuy... Good player traffic for Hold'em and Five Card Draw, but really few tables for Stud (1 table per stake up to $1/$2 for Stud-high, 0 players at Stud 8 or Better and no Razz tables available) and Omaha (especially Omaha 8 or Better.)



           

One of the best!

Posted Jun 22, 2007 by nikolcef

The PokerSavvy bonus requirements are very easy to fulfill. The bonus offered from PokerRoom is not the easiest on OnGame Network, but because you get a 40% bonus, a smaller amount of points is needed to get the bonus. I advise depositing $50, and then the points needed to get the PokerSavvy bonus and the PokerRoom bonus are the same, 200 points. Very nice poker room and nice community. Also, there are nice freeroll tournaments!



           

On gaming!

Posted Jun 20, 2007 by W1shbone

PokerSavvy's promo is quite easy to clear at PokerRoom. It takes a couple of hours multi-tabling $50 max buy-in no-limit Hold'em. You also get 3 tickets to semifinal tournaments where the best 15 players get a place in the weekly $2,500 freeroll tournament. PokerRoom's customer service, lobby and account management systems are all very good. On the downside, OnGame's poker software is not very good. It's quite slow and doesn't allow you to customize table sizes. You are also restricted to play at a maximum of four tables at time.



           

High traffic and a nice place to play!

Posted Jun 13, 2007 by criticus

The pros of this poker room are that you earn player points that can be used to get merchandise or enter tournaments. Also, the software is great (the same as Betsson, Prime Poker and Hollywood Poker) and there are good promotions. But, there are some Cons... The lobby is not very clearly arranged. At low stakes tournaments and ring games you will have a lot of bad beats because of all the fish there. Fortunately, at medium stakes the level of players is about average and it is fun to play!



           

Hmm... PokerRoom...

Posted Jun 04, 2007 by Poker_Jule

The competition is full of donkeys. Tables are not resizable and you can only play four at once. It doesn't matter because there are only a few tables at each limit open. The service is fast and friendly and cashing out takes only a short time.



           

Great place!

Posted May 29, 2007 by Diesel

Poker Room has lot of players, many of them are bad players. They offer a nice casino with easy deposit methods. They also have very nice poker tournaments. On the downside, their deposit bonus only matches 50% of your deposit and is quite hard to earn. The software is not very good looking with awful sounds, which you can fortunately switch off.



           

Easy SavvyPoints!

PokerRoom has a lot of fish. The Graphics are very good, but Moneybookers doesn't work there. The SavvyPoints bonus is very easy to clear at PokerRoom.



           

Funny players...

Posted May 18, 2007 by ZdeKoc

Wow, the players that play on the OnGame network are so bad... Relatively good graphics and soft games, but I have problems getting PokerOffice to work with it. The tables are not resizable, which is a downside.



           

Fast, easy bonus!

Posted May 09, 2007 by sbaker5

This was a very easy bonus to clear, took me about 10 hours or so. Points were in my account very fast. I normally do not like clearing bonuses where you must participate in a pot to get points, but I just played pot-limit Omaha and the points piled up very quickly. The play at this site is very loose as well.



           

Fine community!

Posted May 07, 2007 by staatskanzla

PokerRoom is very much about community. The homepage includes a forum and a lot of poker information for beginners. Also, the "King of the Hill" challenge is very cool - you can make your way from $1.20 to $2,500 there. New players also get three tickets for a qualifier to a $2.5K freeroll, which is easy to clear!



           

PokerRoom

Posted May 06, 2007 by KANIS

Nice OnGame network bonus, but I recommend you do Betsson and PrimePoker first, completing those bonuses takes less time.



           

Pokerroom.com, second best!

Posted Apr 23, 2007 by KrimReape

I really liked the poker software at pokerroom, the green colour was very relaxing. Pokerroom.com loses one star for lacking lower than NL25 ring tables.



           

Not so fast at the small-stakes tables.

Posted Apr 07, 2007 by Paaavo

You have to contribute to pot to get your points. Smallest tables are $0.15/0.25. You can't resize your tables, which causes a problem when trying to multi-table.



           

Nice room!

Posted Mar 31, 2007 by 8tersy8

I liked the software, and there was so much easy money at No-Limit $0.25/0.50 Hold'em. Only one bad thing comes in mind and that is of course horrible bad beats!



           

Bad Beat Home

Posted Mar 07, 2007 by elmo_letsgo

The bonus cleared very quickly and there are a lot of open tables. The table selection is a bit lacking, and I seem to have experienced more bad beats at this site than I usually see. Wont play there any longer...
