Everest Poker

The 2006 UIGEA, which pretty much sent some poker rooms to the edge of extinction, only proved to be a minor bump in the road for Everest Poker. Everest quickly re-profiled its marketing approach to suit a predominantly European player base, and to this end it made its software available in 16 languages. No, it’s not just the support we’re talking about, it’s the actual software that you download.

The Everest Poker software is a Grand Virtual creation, and because the room doesn’t belong to a poker network, it’s quite unique. It features one of the simplest and easiest to use interfaces in the online poker industry.
It offers all the industry-standard statistics features, and allows for 8 tables to be opened up simultaneously, managing to remain stable and fast even when you do open up all those tables.

Thanks to the huge advertising and promotions campaign they are currently running, Everest Poker’s player base has seen a huge jump recently. They have an impressive number of 7,000 players at their cash game tables in peak hours, and 16,000 players at their tournament tables. 

Almost all these guys are crowded onto Holdem tables though, so don’t come to Everest looking for good Omaha or Stud action.
The competition is fairly soft, even on higher limits, and the flops viewed percentages are in the 60% range.
Promotions-wise, Everest is pretty generous. It has a whole bunch of online qualifiers to some of the world’s best rated live poker events. All these direct-access satellites come with sub-satellite structures that make it possible for players to win a seat for a minute investment. 

Everest poker offers a $300 sign-up bonus to all comers, money which is transferred to players’ real money accounts as they accumulate 3,000 Summit Points. Everest Poker’s support is only reachable through email, but it does come in a variety of languages.
