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.
