In this section we list the best online
poker rooms based on a large number of factors such as the quality of their software, customer support, loyalty rewards, promotions, tournaments, popularity and much more.


Howard Lederer, Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Phil Gordon, Gus Hansen, John Juanda, Patrik Antonius and many more. Full Tilt Poker has arguably the most impressive list of official professionals that also play regularly at the site.


PowerPoker is a new, very promising poker site that is covered with the face of poker professional Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies. It is part of the Cake Poker Network, but looks different and feels different enough to confuse most poker players who have seen other parts of the network. Due to heavy and original promotions and the unique concept of an EU based site with plenty of American players, we will surely see this room grow rapidly because it covers two heavy markets. Large tournaments, super fast customer support, plenty of deposit options, great-looking software, player notes and many other things make this poker room one to recommend to both friends and foes, and it's also why we are giving this room such a high score.


Titan Poker is one of today's most rewarding poker networks with its grand 150% up to $600 sign up bonus + $25 instant (upon minimum $20 deposit), available through our very own
Titan Poker Coupon Code. This poker site was founded in 2005 and has grown quickly, although it will need a few more years to reach the top segment. Very soft competition, great support, loyalty bonuses, excellent tournaments with large variation makes this a great place for most poker players. The graphical interface and layout is very good and a definite plus. High stake players should know that this part of Titan isn't fully developed yet.


CD Poker is a good online poker room which stands out particularly in terms of software and promotions. The EveryPoker.com staff enjoys the poker client so much that we believe it is the best-looking software on the internet. It’s clean, fast and simple to understand. As for promotions, there are countless Jackpot games and a quite good sign up bonus. The traffic is not very high but enough to bring some action to the tables. If you are looking for soft competition, you will find that it is quite easy to build up a bankroll here, but you will definitely meet more competition at higher stakes. It is worth mentioning that only Texas Hold’em and Omaha is supported, but in a variety of game modes, such as turbo modes, heads-up games and fun modes.


Absolute Poker is one of the best rooms in terms of bonuses, loyalty rewards and everything related to that. The software is adequate but not great and graphics are not what you would expect from a poker network. Absolute Poker is, despite the rather low traffic numbers, one of the most promising poker rooms. Its focus on tournaments is in the right direction but some of its efforts should be focused on the game types besides Hold'em. All in all, this is a good poker network with minor flaws and great offerings.


You're looking at the home of Phil Hellmuth, Annie Duke, Antonio Esfandiari and Dave Ulliot. Ultimate Bet is a great poker room with a generous sign up bonus and a decent loyalty system. It looks strong with all of its tournaments and qualifiers plus all the promotions. The competition softness is a bit tight, especially at medium to high stakes, but the large number of high stake players make up for this flaw. We particularly like the improvements Ultimate Bet forced into the software to get back in the action with the big competition. Most of the traffic is concentrated to Texas Hold'em, although this is hardly a big deal to most poker players. All in all, Ultimate Bet receives a recommendation if you're looking for some good action even at high stakes and a sturdy sign up bonus.


Don't let the low score scary you off. Poker Stars is an excellent poker network, the biggest of its kind, but it lacks sign up bonuses and a good system for rewarding loyal players. Instead, this site offers top notch tournaments, software and a great variety of games. If we had to describe Poker Stars with one word, it would definitely be "tournament". The only but here is the softness of the competition, which is tighter than at most other places. All in all, good games but little value to entry users who seek a large sign up bonus.


Bodog Poker has been around since what seems to be forever. The company was founded in 1994, and has since then added its poker section. Unfortunately, growth isn't the strong side of this poker room. Some would call this bad luck, others would say that there is a lack of quality promotions. An upgraded sign up bonus worth 110% up to $500 is a great improvement over the old 10% bonus. The very low traffic rate brings down the score quite a bit and most of the competition is in the micro and low stakes. There are some upsides, however. For example, you are very likely to face soft competition, and a comprehensive list of tournaments is probably what's most attractive in this package.


When Mansion Poker first opened its doors back in 2004, the software was originally developed solely by the Mansion team. Regardless of all the top notch promotions and alike, things have gone slower than expected and the player traffic never picked up a significant amount of players. In late 2007, the Mansion team decided to opt out of its own software to merge with the Ongame network. Player traffic issues are long gone and so are the previous low medium to high stake volumes. With the transition came more tournaments, including freerolls for $15,000, $300,000 guaranteed tournaments and plenty of other action. We strongly recommend previous Mansion Poker members to check out the new poker software, not to forget the excellent casino and sports book.


Cake Poker entered the world of online poker in 2005 and has had a mediocre growth ever since. The Cake Poker team has great ambitions however and can achieve great things if they play their cards right. The traffic is rather low, but the positive development of quality tournaments is likely going to make things better. As for variety, there's not much to add other than the usual Hold'em, Omaha and 7 Card Stud. If you are a person who enjoys collecting items, this portal is definitely interesting due to the Gold Card program, which can earn you a total of $52,000. All in all, Cake Poker is an online poker room with potential, but if you're looking for a trafficated poker room site, then look at our higher-ranked rooms.


Sun Poker is the poker paradise where kings and queens play online poker. It is a decent online poker package with average verdicts in all aspects, aside from the excellent customer support. The software lacks behind slightly due to low functionality and perhaps a tad too dull graphics. Plenty of people play here, enough to engage players at low, medium and high stakes. The tournament list could be more generous than it currently is, but ring game players probably won't mind. The EveryPoker.com staff also wants to issue that the competition is rather tight at Sun Poker. In brief, Sun Poker is an interesting online poker client, but fails to stand out from the big boys of online poker.


GNUF is one of the newest of Prima Poker's many poker sites with a name we cannot explain - does it mean anything at all? But let's put this minor issue aside and look at the rest of the package, which does fairly good when compared to its competition. The software is based Microgaming, but we aren't too happy about the theme of GNUF, nor the colors. Aside from the visuals, you have a proven software package with little or no bugs at all and plenty of functionality. When signing up with EveryPoker, you also get a 10x larger bonus than the original, and ultimately the access to a boatload of guaranteed tournaments, satellites to WSOP and WPT, 5 Card Draw gaming and very soft competition at high stakes.


Noble Poker is a solid poker room. First of all, the software is very good and above the average, packed with some features that you won't find in common poker software. On the other hand, you might have some issues with the graphics. The promotions are usually very good. You can play in massive tournaments ranging up to $100,000 in cash prizes as well as jackpot games, Sit'n'Gos with $200 buy-in fees and so on. The site is not very trafficated, but if you play Texas Hold'em, Omaha or just want to try out Black Jack or any other casino game, this is a good choice. Not only because we like the software, but also because the competition is usually very soft. Don't be surprised if you spot a poker rookie even at higher stakes.


Most people already know of Party Poker before their first visit. It is the largest and most well-known poker room in the world. Big does not mean great, however. The room sports the best tournaments and excellent promotions, but lacks in software, loyalty rewards and sign up bonuses. EveryPoker.com recommends this room to anyone who enjoys a tournament every now and then, even at the higher stakes. You will meet lots of new people and chances are, you will run into quite soft competition.


If you want to crush the softest competition on the internet, you've certainly come to the right place. If you've got a bad temper, you should stay out of here. People are known to play like maniacs on Pacific Poker, but watch out for lucky players. This particular poker network holds quite good Texas Hold'em tables, however, you can only play at one table at a time. The sign up bonus is incredibly hard to accumulate and the software is not what you would expect. In other words, come here only for the soft competition and not for the game experience.


Paradise Poker is the closest you can get to a tropical gambling paradise, without lifting your rear off your seat. It is widely considered as one of the best poker rooms in the world and belongs to one of the largest ones, too. Excellent software with only a couple of misses, large tournament traffic and a large number of game modes indicates that this is a very special poker room. Paradise houses a lot of talented players, but in return you have plenty of competition in low level games as well as the high stakes.


Carbon Poker is one of the newest online poker sites on the internet, but also one of the most promising of the newly released. It is based on the Poker.com skin, and is in fact a reincarnated version, since the Poker.com team is unable to advertise its business in the United States. We therefore regard to it as the "new" Poker.com. The software is superb, fast and flexible, comes bundled with Blackjack and Backgammon and all the vital functions and filters you can think of when you play at the tables, or when you browse through the lobby. It also features very soft competition and comes with a great variety of games, including rarities like Razz and 5 Card Draw. It is, however, not very competitive today as its traffic rates are far too low to stay in the game with giants like Full Tilt Poker and Titan Poker. Therefore, it lacks a few serious promotions and tournaments.


Doyles Room has changed a lot over the past 5 years or so, switching networks on multiple occasions, from Tribeca, to Microgaming, and finally to the Cake Poker Network. Each move improved the online poker room, but this latest transition takes the cake, so to speak. Doyles Room left Microgaming in 2008 when the company banned US player acceptance. The move was necessary to maintain Doyles Room’s commitment to US players, but the overall benefits for new and existing members have been extraordinary. Microgaming/Prima Poker may have had a few perks, like a wider game variety, but Cake Gaming’s software is far superior in functionality, features, graphics and playability.


You're looking at a “typical” British poker room. We say typical because the services look much like the ones Ladbrokes and other U.K. based companies provide. But don’t let the shell scare you. There are many valuable tournaments bundled to this poker client and a respectable amount of active players. What we don’t like is the visual interface and the low variety of games, but then we have a nice bonus, fairly soft competition and a 24/7 customer support whenever in need.


Empire Poker is a feature-packed online poker service based on the very Party Gaming network. This opens up for gaming against tens of thousands of players from all parts of the world. The software is of great quality and very high stability and matches the superb user traffic. The bonus and loyalty rewards aren't great, but instead you're offered plenty of competition at every possible stake, even including expensive sit'n'go games. You can also participate at the Million Dollar tournament, hosted by Empire Poker. If that's not your beef, then how about some of the great freerolls, or sidebets and Blackjack. To sum things up, Empire Poker is a great choice for everyone - unless you're looking for a super bonus. In that case we recommend
Titan Poker.


EuroPoker is yet another great poker room with great software. You get a very solid software package with industry leading features and superb graphics. Add to that a really high traffic rate of users, who unfortunately reside mostly in Texas Hold’em No Limit. The tournament traffic is also good, with thousands of players in various scheduled games, sit’n’goes and alike. The signup bonus is above the average and a good reason for you to register and try to claim it, but as far as promotions go, this network lacks what the real giants offer. If you are a Mac or Linux user, you will be happy to learn that this room also offers support through instant download software, so you will be able to play at work, at home or on foot, no matter what.


24hPoker has had a rapid growth in 2004 and 2005 due to many TV advertisements. This is a poker room which should be recommended mainly to Apple and Linux fans who wish to play in a WSOP or EPT qualifier. This room has its flaws in terms of low traffic and quite unstable software. On the bright side, there's a lot of soft competition even at higher stakes. Additionally, a Scandinavian poker variant called Soko, is offered as well. Unfortunately, you will find most of the action in the No Limit tables in the world of Texas Hold'em, but if that's not a problem to you, then you may want to give this room a shot.


Hollywood Poker is one of the fastest growing poker rooms in the industry. It is endorsed by poker professionals like World Poker Tour commentator Vince Van Patten and movie star James Woods. Hollywood Poker is one of the few poker sites to offer a non-downloadable client for
Mac and Linux users. You will find most of the popular poker types available, including 5 Card Draw. The excellent software, the super fast support and the high amount of connected players makes this a highly recommended poker room.


Everest Poker is a promising online poker room and has become even more popular recently due to additional promotions . It is not a large poker room such as Party Poker or PokerRoom, but it delivers more than the average room does and offers an interesting loyalty program called Summit Points. The software is very good although only Texas Hold'em is supported. On the other hand, you get a fast-claimed sign up bonus worth $500 and very soft competition.


Fat Bet Poker was founded in 2006, and has since then become the largest of all Chartwell sites. Despite a rather low player traffic, there's always plenty of fishy action at low to medium stakes. In fact, our previous experience with Fat Bet Poker proves that this site holds some of the fishiest players on the internet. A generous €1500 bonus will make many players interested in joining, although we recommend high stake players to look elsewhere. Having said that, we don't want anyone to run away because of the relatively low score. It is in fact a promising site, only with a rather low traffic, which ultimately results in low promotions, too. If this is not an issue to you, check it out!
