PokerRoom.com is a site that's good in almost all major areas. With excellent graphics on the downloadable version, PokerRoom.com also offers a Java version, which means you can get going without a wait. The software is smooth, the design is attractive, and the promotions are very respectable-maybe even great. Among the best promos/bonuses are a pair of daily $1,000 freerolls, which is quite high for online poker rooms, in addition to an eye-opening $300 sign-up bonus at 50%! Three hundred bucks, in case you're new to online poker rooms, is pretty much unbeatable. Another plus about PokerRoom.com are the betting structures. With a low minimum deposit and a wide range of fixed and no-limit tables, everyone will be able to find what they are looking for.
As with a lot of poker rooms, however, this one also suffers from a rather poor popularity ranking. There are only about 2,000 players at PokerRoom.com, and that's the main difference between this room-which is, by all accounts, very impressive-and Empire Poker, or one of the other "monsters." There's simply much more happening at the bigger rooms and, if you're looking for easy competition and lots of it, you'll do better if you go somewhere else.
But PokerRoom.com has terrific all-around quality, and the low minimum deposit and fantastic promotions are reason enough to keep this one on your visit list. The cashouts are fast and reliable, so you won't have many complaints when you're playing in this pleasant, professional environment. Recommended.
