Paradise Poker
Paradise Poker began offering online poker back in 1999 when the poker craze had not been born. Today they operate all over the world, with the notable exception of the potentially largest market of all, the United States. Legal issues prohibit them from including the United States in their service area.
Paradise Poker knows the value of doing everything possible to insure the fairness and integrity of the game. There is nothing that will scare players away faster from an online poker site than the suspicion that someone has figured out a way to cheat the system. It is hard enough to win honestly, but going up against 2 players who collude by sharing knowledge of their hands (and betting accordingly), makes it almost impossible.
Paradise Poker has developed sophisticated software to detect possible collusion. While nothing is 100% foolproof, the system does an excellent job of monitoring all activity. A player's betting history is tracked as it relates to the strength of their hand and then compared to other players bets and actions at the table. Any player caught trying to cheat the system is immediately suspended from further play at Paradise Poker.
There are a wide variety of games and tournaments to compete in, including various versions of Stud and Draw poker as well as traditional games of Texas Holdem and Omaha. Signup is quick and easy and a cash bonus is offered for new players.
Whether you are very familiar with playing online poker or are just starting out, there are games and tournaments to fit you best. Low entry fees make it easy to stick around for a while. Beginners can learn the ins and outs of the game by attending class on the site's "Poker School". Who knows, maybe you'll get so good, youll earn a seat at the World Series of Poker.
