PokerRoom.com

PokerRoom.com, founded in 1999, is an online gambling site specializing in Texas Hold 'em and other card based games. Poker Room specializes in fostering a community atmosphere not typically found in other gambling websites, allowing users to discuss not just poker but a myriad of other topics as well. While Texas Hold 'em is the most popular game at Poker Room, users can also play Five Card Draw, Seven Card Stud, and Omaha for cash prizes. Blackjack is also available, but can not be played for any real money. One unique feature of Pokerroom.com is that it allows for private tables, so players who typically play once a week with their friends can now play online at their own convenience.

Poker Room offers a variety of player rewards with its robust, 3-tier loyalty program. Tier 1 is called the Green Room, and offers $100 daily free rolls for anyone who makes a single deposit and starts playing for money. Tier 2 is the Silver Room, and can be entered once a player has at least 100 player points. Player points are gained by making deposits and playing hands at different poker tables. The Silver Room features tournaments with bigger cash prizes and a variety of exclusive prizes that can be won with earned player ponts. Finally, tier 3 is called the Gold Room, which allows players to enter tournaments with cash jackpots of up to $33,000. A player must earn 1,500 player points every 30 days to play in the Gold Room.

To play at Pokerroom.com, users must not only sign up but download a free software program. This program is fairly small and is compatible with both Windows and Mac. Once downloaded, players can start competing with poker fans from across the world. Overall, Poker Room is a robust site with a good variety of games and a full bodied community to back it up.
