Software (6)

As a partner of the iPoker Network, Sun Poker uses state-of-the-art online poker software that is as solid and reliable as it is flexible and feature-rich. User-friendly, with an intuitive navigation system and lobby filtering for quick access to favored games, the Sun Poker software caters to both the novice and the experienced online poker player.

Customization options allow for a more personalized experience, with plenty of functions for optimizing game speed. Multi-tablers can enjoy up to 16 re-sizable tables simultaneously, and have instant access to hand histories. The Windows-based software is available in English, French, Italian, Russian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.

Traffic (7)

There is no lack of traffic at Sun Poker, sharing in the iPoker Network's tremendous player pool. No Limit Hold'em cash games run round-the-clock with a significant amount of action. Pot Limit Omaha and Fixed Limit Hold'em also receive an impressive turn out. Tournaments, the largest draw of iPoker-partnered online poker rooms, attract a huge volume of players.

Tournaments (5)

As with all online poker rooms on the iPoker Network, players will find the $200K Guaranteed Sunday tournaments, jackpot Sit and Gos, live event satellites and qualifiers, and a constant daily schedule of tournaments to fit any player's budget. However, Sun poker also provides players with the ability to play tournament director, allowing players the ability to design their own private tournaments; whether a small competition for a group of friends, or a large event for an entire company.

Game Variety (7)

All of the standard online poker games are represented at Sun Poker. The poker room staple - Texas Hold'em - with No Limit, Fixed Limit and Pot Limit varieties is available at Sun Poker; as well as the increasingly popular Omaha and Omaha Hi-Lo in both Pot Limit and Fixed Limit structures. 7 Card Stud tables are present at Sun Poker, though active games in the form are becoming a rare find.

Soft Competition (6)

The level of competition at Sun Poker, and indeed across the entire iPoker Network, has been widely regarded as extremely soft. However, in recent years, due both to experience gained by ambitious newcomers and migrations of strong players to iPoker online poker rooms, the opposition has toughened up a bit; particularly in the higher limit cash games and large, guaranteed tournaments. However, with a little table selection knowledge, players can still find plenty of loose action in the lower limit cash games, and even at the mid-stakes tables.

Sign Up Bonus (7)

New players at Sun Poker can earn up to a 100% match of their first deposit through our exclusive Sun Poker bonus code offer. A maximum sign up bonus of $600 is available to first-time depositors who enter our promotional Sun Poker coupon code free620 while making that initial deposit. Additionally, new depositors will receive entry into a $1,000 free roll.

The 100% Sun Poker bonus is released into the player's real money account in $5 portions for every 5000 Sun Points earned playing raked cash games and tournaments with an entry fee, for their first 90 days of poker play at Sun Poker. Players will retain the VIP club Sun Points that are counted toward clearing the welcome bonus, which are also worth $5 per 5000 points in the VIP club - thus players, in effect, get double the cash.

Loyalty Rewards (5)

The loyalty program at Sun Poker is called Shine, and rewards frequent players with cash and special offers. The Sun Poker loyalty reward system offers 5 tiers of benefits based on the player's monthly accumulated Sun points. With each step up the VIP levels, players earn more points for their participation in real money cash games, and tournaments with entry fees. The points players acquire can be exchanged for cash anytime at a rate of $5 per 5,000 points, without a negative impact on the player's Shine level.

Promotions (5)
