Feature rich software. - Established in Brisbane, Australia in 2005, Poker.com is one of the new kids on the block, but is quickly becoming a favourite amongst the online poker community. They have bang up to date software with added extras that make you wonder why the other online poker rooms haven't added them as they are so appreciated by the Poker.com players. Win a tourney and you'll receive an Accolade, a medal displayed by your name, you also collect stars at cash games for regular play. Don't worry if you don't want the world to know how good you are - these can be hidden from view. You know the programmers have really thought about how to make their software resemble the live game more accurately when you discover the Poker.com 'Rabbit Cam'. You can choose to show one or more of your cards, whether you win or lose. A great little feature - let the psychological games begin!

Tournaments. Mostly at the lower stake levels, (the highest daily tourney fee is $25 for the $3,000 guaranteed). there's lots of guaranteed tournaments for your money at Poker.com. They run daily 6c and 25c MTT's which are great for beginners to enjoy a few hours of poker without breaking the bank. Another of Poker.com's added extras for poker students is their 'Fun Steps' Sit and Go Freerolls - work your way up through 3 free Sit and Go's and win $1. The biggest event of the week is the Sunday 20k ($60 entry) with regular MMT satellites and Sit and Go's running throughout the week from $2.20. Poker.com also have Ladies only tournaments daily with guaranteed prizepools which are very popular, they'll want to see your ID first though so it's strictly no men allowed.

Join Poker.com at any WPT / WSOP / APPT or other Grand Final by winning a tournament and choose your own live seat - satellites start from as little as $2! There are MTTs and Sit n Go’s running all day every day at different levels leading to Grand Finals where the buy in will be $275. Each prize package is worth a generous $12,500 and the choice of venue is yours.

Cash Games. You'll struggle to find a high stakes game at Poker.com even in the peak hours. Most of the action centres around the Texas Holdem lower stake levels where you can always find a game, whatever the hour. Having recently introduced more game variations, and a player base growing in numbers as word spreads, it won't be long before the higher stake levels start seeing more action. Poker.com is great for low to medium stakes players!

Promotions. Regularly play cash games to collect 'comp' points and you can earn entry to some fantastic restricted entry freerolls. There's a daily $1,000 freeroll, a weekly $2,000 and $10,000 freerolls, and a massive monthly $50,000 freeroll for their most loyal players. Your eligibility for the freerolls is updated in real-time under player admin, so you'll always know your status. The times of most of these freerolls are suitable for European players, all of them start before 9pm GMT, except for the Mon, Weds & Fri $1000 freerolls which start at 12midnight GMT (start chewing some coffee beans!). There's also a Royal Flush Bonus, catch a royal flush in a cash game and you can email your claim for a big blind x10 bonus.

Competition. There's a lot of soft competition at Poker.com, it's always easy to spot the regular players by the 'stars' they have received (unless they've hidden them of course). It's a great place to learn, but the more experienced players can easily grind it out for a solid profit with one eye on the monthly $50,000 freeroll.

Poker.com bonus details. Download Poker.com software here and enter the bonus code 100FIRST1K when you sign-up and deposit for the first time for your bonus of 100% up to $500. In addition you will receive one entry into a $1,000 freeroll and if that wasn't enough you also receive free entry into a daily $500 first depositors freeroll for 14 days. That's on top of their already strong freeroll program.

To redeem your Poker.com bonus you'll need to earn 250 comps points to release each $1 of bonus. Bonuses are released in $10 increments. You earn comp points in cash games, you can earn between 3 to 10 points per hand depending on the level you play at. This system makes it easy to collect points, at the higher levels you need only play 25 hands per $1 of bonus. There is a 30 day time limit for you to redeem this cash bonus.

Refer a friend. $50 for you, $50 for your friend. In addition you'll both get free entry into a $2,500 freeroll.
