CD Poker was simple to download and install. The file was relatively small and easy to find. It does require an email activation like many other sites. Creating an account requires you to enter all your details. It does not need you to pass over a credit card number before it allows you to play.
The first impression of CD Poker was that it as full of ads. You will be greeted with popups and numerous adds in the startup box. If you can bypass this you will see the poker button on the top left corner. This takes you to the tables, but surprise surprise, there are more non poker related adds down the bottom. The adds remain there regardless if your playing real or fake money.
Dealing with the cashier was simple and quick to execute. Please visit our section on deposits for more information.

Gameplay was more difficult to follow due to the fact that the bottom area was too crowded with buttons and yes, a large banner. I found it playable, but it’s not something i would like to deal with for hours on end. Ultimate bet doesn’t offer many options to customise your game. The majority of the options had to do with tweaking the graphics with was average to begin with.
Ultimate bet does have a few special offers. One unique offer was the ‘bad bet jackpot’. This allows the player to win a large jackpot if it goes off while the player was betting on selected tables. CD Poker does have a very good signup bonus off 111% bonus up to $1100. That is, deposit $US100 and they will give you free another $US110.
CD Poker was overall one of the most add filled softwares I have seen. The signup bonus might make it worthwhile to join, however, if your one who hates adds then you might want to give this one a miss. We rate this a 7/10.

You can download the installation file from a variety of sources. The file was 19mb which was relatively a lot larger than other sites, installing the file was clean and tidy. Just follow the prompts and your done.
Before you start playing you will need a validation code from your email. Be sure yo check your junk email if you cant find the validation code. The game does not require you to enter a credit card number to start playing.
You are given a choice of a few avatars to chose from to personalise your experience. The first time you start playing you get to chose how you want to view the table. I prefer the birds eye view. I found the graphics rather comical and rather a let down considering that the installation file download was so much larger than other sites.
The game play is very intuitive, you can be a pro in 10 minutes. There are not many options to customize your game. One option I did like was the auto centre feature, where you can always place yourself in the same centre seat so you never be confused when it’s your time to bet (that’s if your one to table hop). There’s also an easy way to see the last hand delt so you can fully absorb what the other player’s techniques are. I did find that there were less pop up adds in general compared to other software. Besides this, there’s not much more that makes the Full Tilt poker software different from the rest.

Perhaps the biggest reason to join is their special signup bonus. That is, you get 100% of your deposit up to a maximum of $US600. That is, if you deposit $US100 they will give you another $US100. Thats pretty generous if you ask me.
If you just want to play poker, and you don’t care about fancy features then Full Tilt poker may be for you. If you want a good signup bonus, then Full Tilt poker definitely is for you.
We rate it a generous 8.5/10.
