To start off, it’s worthwhile playing in the ‘practice’ room. The game play is pretty standard. The graphics are nothing fancy, quite ordinary to be honest. They do give you an option of change views eg. card view only or birds eye view of the table. The time limit for each bet is 30 seconds so you won’t have to wait long periods for idle players. There is also a pretty cool feature where you can replay the exact sequence of how the last game unfolded. This is quite handy if you want to study the way your opponent is playing after seeing his hand.

Gameplay is pretty intuitive, you can pick up how everything works after about 20-30 minutes of playing. There are plenty of tables to chose from, so there shouldn’t be a problem finding a table in your betting range.

The game is not that intrusive on your computer so you can almost do other things while playing like checking your email. There are however annoying popups that come up quite often. These aren’t harmful, they’re just advertising features of the gaming site, nevertheless, it is a minor nuisance you can do without.

At time of writing there are great promotional offers too. 25% of $100. That is, if you deposit $US100, you will automatically get $125 to play (up to a max $400). That is you can get $100 free after depositing $400. That’s a pretty good incentive to start playing!

Cashing out is pretty much similar to all the other sites. More details can be found <HERE>.

We rate it a solid 7.5/10
