Pokerroom.com is many players' favourite poker site. After our most recent re-rating, Pokerroom was voted number 1 amongst the G-index.net members. Many improvements have been made by Pokerroom such as facility to increase chat area with the latest hand history, sit and go tournaments ranging from 5, 10, 20 and 30 player tournaments as well team competitions. It is definitely one of the leading poker rooms. Its only weakness is its player volumes which cannot yet compete with that of PartyPoker but in all other respects, in our view, Pokerroom beats PartyPoker hands down.

EXCLUSIVE TO G-INDEX.NET MEMBERS, a matching deposit bonus of 50% on initial deposit up to $100.

The reason for Pokerroom having moved up to number 1 are for a number of reasons, but the main ones are the improved withdrawal facilities which are now much faster and directly onto your CC, debit card or current account, 24 hour help desk, voted as having the best graphics and software, rapidly increasing player volumes and this has meant much softer games are now available. Easier to make money than before. Some do complain that the graphics are a bit too dark and heavy on their computer. Great tournament schedule, always tables available as new ones are generated when the existing tables fill up. The new team competition adds greatly to the social environment of online poker.

• Texas Hold Em
• Omaha
• Omaha Hi/Lo
• Seven Card Stud
• Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo
• 5 Card Draw

The main interface also has a general chat room where people can say all sort of things. However, it is particularly useful if there is a problem or you have a question which you can post in the chat room and generally someone has the courtesy to answer. Also, Pokerroom.com Support staff tend to be logged on at most times of the day.

The player tables have recently been modified. Some find the latest version an improvement, others find it too dark. However, the graphics are superb. There is no speech. The only sound provided is when the cards are being dealt. Now you can increase the chat area and see a complete list of the latest hand history or just all the chat. The players that have their own web page in Pokerroom's Pokah Forum can be viewed by right clicking on a Pokah Page icon next to the player's name.

The chat is for the players only. Although others can view the play, they cannot chat with the players. Furthermore, if a player is particularly annoying, it is possible to MUTE that particular player or now even possible to vote that player off the table.

At the main interface it is possible to manage your player settings such as the ability to choose whether to reveal a won hand that has not been called, automatically wait until the Big Blind reaches your seat when you join a table as well as enable statistics (which is a useful function if you want to analyse the randomness of the Random Number Generator).

There are plenty of Texas Hold Em ring games at all times of the day. However, there are few players of the other forms of poker. In essence, pokerroom.com is primarily for those that have a preference for Hold Em. Whereas there are often thousands of players at any time of the day playing Texas Hold Em, there are rarely over 50-100 players for any of the other forms of poker. What sets Pokerroom apart from many other poker rooms is that there are plenty of tables with various numbers of maximum players. From heads up to 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10 player tables.

Pokerroom.com probably has a very strong daily tournament schedule. There are daily $1,000 and $750 freeroll tournaments. There are frequent $5, $10 and $20 multi-table tournaments as well as single table tournaments ranging from $5 + ($1 fee) to $100 + ($8 fee). Below are, however, a list of the main multi-table tournaments:

There are plenty of qualifiers to the big guaranteed events. The Freerolls fill up very quickly so you have to register as soon as they open for registration (normally 1 hour prior to start). Pokerroom has a very popular multi tournament schedule so plenty of action.
