How to Read an Online Poker Review: Part 2 of 2
Introduction
In this second installment of our series on online poker reviews, we’ll explore key aspects that reviewers consider when evaluating an online poker room. By understanding these elements, you can make an informed decision about where to play.
Competition
A crucial section of any poker review is the assessment of player skill levels across various games like Texas Hold'em, different formats such as Ring Games, and diverse betting structures including Limit games. Terms like "fish" and "shark" describe player proficiency?""fish" are less skilled and easier to outplay, while "sharks" are experts who capitalize on these weaknesses.
Bonuses
Poker reviews also detail available bonuses, starting with the signup bonus, often a percentage match on your first deposit. Additional common bonuses include:
- Bad Beat Bonus: Awarded when a player loses with a strong hand, sharing a bonus with others who participated in the round.
- Magic Hand Bonus: A bonus distributed to those involved in a strategically chosen hand number.
- High Hand Bonus: Given for achieving the highest hand within a certain timeframe.
- Progressive Bonuses: These grow over time until claimed, then reset to a base amount.
Rake
Rake is the commission taken by the poker room, typically 5% up to $3. Some rooms offer a "No Flop/No Drop" policy, meaning no rake if the flop isn’t seen.
Customer Service
This section highlights the quality and accessibility of customer support. Look for 24/7 availability via phone, email, or live chat, and assess the responsiveness and professionalism of the service.
Promotions
Distinct from regular bonuses, promotions are special events with extraordinary prizes like large jackpots, vacations, or entry into prestigious tournaments like the World Poker Tour.
Deposits and Cashouts
Here, you'll discover the payment methods accepted for transactions, such as PayPal or credit cards, and the efficiency, security, and reliability of these processes.
