Software (Rated 8 out of 10)
As with most poker rooms on the iPoker Network, it's very easy to use the lobby to find a good game. Useful filters can be used to narrow down your options to just the tables you're interested in playing at. You don’t have to be a genius to easily find the game what you want to play as the statistics shown in the lobby for each table provide useful hints as to what you can expect from the game before sitting in. Of course, if you ever should have some problem, you can contact Winner Poker's online customer support, a friendly Winner Poker support representative is always waiting to help you get started!

Graphics (Rated 6 out of 10)
Some players might not enjoy the dreary design, mostly composed in shades of red and black, while others might find the dark colors suit their tastes. The player avatars are the same ones you'll see at other iPoker sites, so if you've played at other poker rooms before you may find them to be familiar. Overall, Winner Poker does not offer much in the graphics department to help it stand out, so you may not like playing here if you demand a lot of colorful graphics from your favorite poker room.
