Long established online poker room. - Established in 1995 and based in Gibraltar, 32Red is a well respected and secure online poker site. As part of the Microgaming Prima Network there's a good amount of traffic 24/7, and their player base is one of the most loyal around. The software is stable and everything you need is easy to find and user friendly. They are also upgrading and improving all the time, the most recent addition being the Rabbit Cam feature where you can see the card that would have fallen if you had not folded and continued in the hand to the turn and river. They have also upgraded their tournament lobby where you can now choose between Filtered, Quickplay or the Standard lobby for those who prefer the traditional view.

We feel 32Red is one of the better Prima poker sites due to their added promotions and options. You can play Pontoon or a version of Video Poker, PokerBet from your table. They also have their own exclusive loyalty points scheme named 'Redbacks'. You can use your Redbacks to enter selected tournaments and satellites which gives a little added value to playing at 32Red (100 Redbacks = $1 in tournament fees). They also have their own live chat support which not all of the other Prima sites have. If you already have a Prima account you will still be able to register a new account with 32Red, but you will have to use the same nickname across the whole Prima Network.

Elevator Loyalty Program. - 32Red have come up with a brand new and exclusive loyalty reward scheme, The Elevator with Express Points. The more raked hands you play the higher you get, start at the lobby at just 100 Express Points and rise to the Penthouse where you are rewarded with $200 guaranteed. Just click on the elevator leaderboard, on the website or software at any time to see how you and your buddies are doing, it’s addictive! The Elevator reward scheme is on a monthly basis with no points being carried forward. Your earnings will be in your account within 3 days of the end of the month. Express points are based on Redbacks, in accordance with this ratio:

• Multi Table Tournaments – 1RB = 1EP
• Sit n Go’s – 1RB = 1EP
• Texas Holdem – 1RB = 1EP
• Omaha – 1RB = 1EP
• Omaha hi/lo – 1RB = 1EP

Cash Games. There's a good amount of traffic at the lower stakes cash tables at 32Red, although you may have more trouble finding a game at the higher stakes. There's also the option of participating in the Bad Beat Jackpot prize, get beaten with quad 8's or higher and you and your fellow players at the table will all share in a Bad Beat Jackpot. Take your seat at one of the 'progressive bad beat' tables and you're in with a chance. If you want to be guaranteed games at a poker variation other than Texas Holdem, you'd probably be better going to one of the larger online poker sites.
