Online Poker

Poker has exploded in the last couple of years. Though the “pokerboom” is no longer the interest still remains. There are online poker sites with over 100 000 daily players. The number of different sites where you can play poker has also grown considerably.

Online Poker Promotions

The effect of the many poker sites is for instance that the competition between the sites has hardened. The result being better bonus systems and rake back for the players. Poker promotions are an important factor when determining where to play. Many online poker rooms offer very large signup bonuses. Our advice however is to focus on how hard it is to clear the bonus rather than how large the amount of the bonus is. It does take a considerable amount of time to clear a poker bonus so make sure you pick a bonus that you are able to clear within the maximum number of days given in the bonus details.

Online Poker Games

The most common poker games offered online is Texas Holdem poker, Omaha poker and Seven Card Stud. At each of these games you can choose between No Limit, Pot Limit or Limit games. Omaha also have hi/lo.

Other games that are not so common but offered at some sites are Razz, HORSE and Draw poker. Check the games section at your poker site to find out which games they offer.

US Pokersites

Please note that it is currently not possible for US based citizens to play poker online at Pokerstars, Full Tilt Poker, Ultimatebet and Absolute Poker. There are other US pokersites, like Lock Poker for instance, where US based players can still play for real money. Try Lock Poker if you are US based.
