Pacific Poker Review

Software: The Pacific Poker software got a complete overhaul over in mid 2007. Pacific use to have one of the worst online poker rooms and now they are competing with the best of them. Pacific is known for there excellent simplistic lobby and easy to use software. This was incorporated with their new design and we praise Pacific for their effort!

Traffic: Pacific Poker traffic is solid for a independent poker room. A high level of traffic flows in from their very popular online casino 888.com and Casino-On-Net. The ring game traffic is now an impressive 2,200+ players during peak hours.

Poker Game Variety: Game variety ranks fairly low at Pacific Poker. There is rarely any games other then Hold'em going. However, they do offer Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/lo, 7-card-stud, 7-card-stud Hi/lo, heads up tables, short handed tables and 9 handed and 10 handed games.

Sign up Bonus: (1st Time deposit Bonus) This is a really cool bonus for new poker players. You get a 25% up to $100 instant deposit bonus! The bonus is released directly and instantly into your player account. However, there are withdrawal requirements on raked hands.

Competition: The competition at Pacific Poker is absolutely amazing. Seriously, there are so many bad players! There is a lot of things that turn off good poker players to play at Pacific. The slow cash out speed and the poor customer support. However, the quality of players there is absolutely terrible.

$5/10 Limit tables. The short handed action is always juicy as well on Tony G Poker.

Promotions: When Pacific Poker runs a promotion it is usually one of the best in the industry. During some months of the year they will have a $150 refer a friend bonus! Currently they have a daily $5K and $10K guaranteed tournament running. Also there is a $75 guaranteed tournament that runs every Sunday along with a $25k guaranteed tournament every Monday.

Loyalty Program: Pacific has a loyalty program in place. However, it is nothing worth talking about.

Support: Average at best. Email and Phone support available. Cash out speed extremely poor. 3 to 6 days.
