Some rooms act
stand-alone (like Pacific Poker, Poker Stars, Paradise Poker, etc)
whereas other large brands share a network (The Cryptologic network
with Inter Poker, Sun Poker, etc) and more frequently there are
large networks with small individual rooms such as (Prima Poker
network with rooms like PokerTime and Royal Vegas Poker)
The different poker room platforms share a lot of similarities in
terms of game functionality and general set-up. Still, there are
important differences for you as a player. Because of the
differences in games offered and big bonuses and frequent promotions
most players will clearly benefit from playing at a handful of
online poker rooms at least. Below, we list the most important
differences between the poker rooms:
- There are actually big differences in " skill
level" of players between rooms, making it far easier to
break-even or win money at some rooms. For current ratings check
out our top list with easy to win rooms.
- The volume of certain type of games varies
dramatically. Example of areas of difference are; share of games
in short-handed version (5 or 6 player tables), share of games
in mid or high limits (e.g. $10-$20 Limit and higher or $2-$5
No-Limit and higher), relative proportion of tournaments and
number of non-Texas Hold'em games offered (like Omaha,
7-Card-Stud, 5-Card-Stud, Draw poker, Triple Draw, etc).
- The value of promotions offered to the players
varies significantly; sign-up bonuses, re-load bonuses,
loyalty/points programs, free rolls and other freebies.
- The technology behind the poker rooms. Some
poker rooms have much better graphics, playability and
stability.
