BestPoker
This poker room is operated by Bestpoker.com Ltd, a company registered on the EU island of Cyprus.
Security and transaction safety is of the highest priority for Bestpoker.com. The policy towards player fraud is one of no tolerance whatsoever. Log files are kept and regularly analyzed of all hands played in the poker room in order to detect irregular patterns of play which may hint to player collusion or other such exploits. Players found participating in any such schemes will have their accounts closed and their funds confiscated. Some hand analyzers are allowed and supported, though programs deemed to provide an unfair advantage to players are forbidden.
Bestpoker.com belongs to the Ongame network, so you might already be familiar with the software that they use. The client featured by Bestpoker.com is an extremely versatile one. It can be downloaded to Windows computers but it also supports Linux and Mac users can play through the no download version. The software can also be downloaded for mobile phones. Otherwise, the features offered are the standard ones. The lobby is clean and easily browsable, featuring many of the industry standard table statistics.
The game selection only includes the most popular poker variants, but that is more than enough as it is as getting decent traffic on exotic poker variants is a challenge few poker rooms can stand up to. Bestpoker.com has Holdem, Omaha, 7-Card Stud as well as 5-Card draw, so I’m pretty sure all your poker needs shall be satisfied here.
As far as player traffic is concerned, Bestpoker draws a lot of its traffic from the Ongame network. That means there will be around 20,000 players at the tables at peak hours, which means there will be plenty of action. Games are tighter than usual on higher stakes but still juicy enough on lower ones.
Bestpoker offers several options when it comes to the sign-up bonus. You can choose a 50% match, up to $50 with a redemption requirement of 10 poker points per bonus dollar. The other sign-up bonus options are: 100% match up to $100, 100% match up to $250, 300% match up to $600, 500% match up to $1,000 and 500% match up to $1,200.
The bigger bonuses take 11 poker points per bonus dollar to unlock.
The promotions that Bestpoker offers you are diverse and numerous. They have a VIP club which gives players the possibility to swap their poker points for real money and offers access to the VIP store.
They have a ‘Most PPs in One Day’ promotion, a ‘Refer a Friend’ setup, and a best hand of the weekend race as well.
Those who use the preferred payment method of the poker room (which is Moneybookers) will enjoy extra bonuses.
Neteller, MasterCard, Wire transfer, and VISA are all accepted payment and withdrawal methods. The preferred method is of course Moneybookers, but Webmoney is supported as well.
An obviously European-oriented poker room, Bestpoker is available in several languages. Support is reachable through email around the clock, but you also have the phone or live chat options available at set times of the day and week. All-in-all, I’d say support is excellent.
