Often our bonus is more than twice as high as the standard offer plus with a better deposit match.
Almost all poker rooms run on a software application that you have to download. The size is typically between 3 and 8 Mega Bytes. Once it is downloaded you will access the games via the application. Playing online poker only requires very limited bandwidth, so you will be able to play without much trouble even on a dial-up connection. However, if you are playing at high limit tables without all-in protection (see Automatic all-in protection below) you should probably upgrade to broadband if possible.
There are only a few no-download poker rooms (most notably PokerRoom and Pacific Poker) . The no download versions are great when you are traveling or want to play at a location (like work or school) where downloads might not be allowed.
In order to sign-up for an account, you often just need an email address and it is not necessary to deposit any real money. You can still watch real money games and participate in " fun money" games as soon as you have opened an account. This way you can download several poker rooms to check out where the software and games look the best before depositing.
