Poker Room Reviews

February 21, 2009 by Nick Wealthall  

Nick WealthallChoosing an online poker room can be a confusing experience – one size doesn’t fit all. You need to consider your stakes, favoured game, level of skill (both yours and your likely opponents) , bonus or rewards programs etc etc. The great news is there are hundreds of rooms out there all desperate for your action. The bad news is how to do you choose one? Well, hopefully my reviews of the best rooms around will save you time and give you the best shot at making money.

Over the years, I’ve seen rooms come and rooms go. I’ve only reviewed rooms I play at regularly and together, they cover the needs of a broad range of players. I’d recommend them all, depending on your particular requirements.

Below is a short summary of the pros and cons of each. Click on the relevant icons to see my detailed review of each room and find out if it might be right for you.
