Players Only Poker Review

It's amazing that some online poker players still don't know much about Players Only. Launched in 2006 and operating directly from Canada, only a select few online poker rooms are in the same league. Now that we are able to offer you a special $1,000 bonus, there has never been a better time to give Players Only a chance. If you want to learn a bit more before finally making your move, read on as we review the Players Only poker room.

The $1,000 welcome bonus is probably the most appealing promotion to new players like you so here is how it works. When you signup at Players Only, make sure to use the bonus code: OPGOLD. Then, when you make your first deposit, Players Only will match 100% of your deposit (up to $1,000) and put it in a bonus account. As you play real money games and pay rake and tournament fees, you'll be earning valuable player points. Each point has $0.06 cash value, and is directly responsible for clearing your bonus.

Since Players Only is part of the Cake network, you shouldn't have to worry about player traffic. Sure you might have to wait for a less popular game with extreme limits during off hours, but most players will never experience any shortage of games. You can play Texas Holdem, Omaha (Hi/Lo offered), and Seven Card Stud games with full nine-player tables, shorthanded, or heads up. Games take place at beautiful 3D tables (optional) with a good solid pace and 5% rake capped at $3.00 maximum rake paid per hand.

Throughout any given day, the tournaments at Players Only get a heavily amount of traffic, though a majority of this is in the lower stakes range. These events are typically guaranteed for $1,000 to $5,000 and every Sunday they have their big $100,000 guaranteed tournament. For players who really want a good deal, there are also regular free roll events that only require you to redeem your Gold Coins for entry.

Like we've already mentioned, their affiliation with the Cake network gives Players Only Poker a really strong player base. Their peak daily players value is 17,000 and a majority of these people are taking part in tournaments. The low-moderate stakes are constantly pretty busy, while players who insist on the highest stake games (think $50/$1000) may have to wait when they are out of the prime hours.

As part of their ongoing commitment to helping players from The United States complete their deposits, Players Only has stuck with the basic deposit methods. Visa, MasterCard, Moneybookers, and UseMyWallet are all offered and can be processed for players around the world. On the receiving end, Players Only Poker has a robust operation designed to process all transactions quickly, reliably, and safely.

Players Only support can be reached by email, live chat, or telephone. Wait times are minimal for live chat and telephone, and you should get email replies within a single business day. No complaints here, the support is fairly strait forward and effective.
