Paradise Poker Review

Editor’s Opinion
Paradise Poker was one of the very first online poker rooms and is now an old and well-established poker room with astonishing graphics, great tournament action and plenty of ring games. The software is held in a nice island theme and the games run smooth in a very nice atmosphere. ParadisePoker also host some of the very large online poker tournaments with massive prizes. The tournaments run great and the software runs without problems. Paradise Poker is without question one of the best online poker rooms, however the average opponent is very tough and can be hard to beat. This may change during 2006 since ParadisePoker has decided to put focus on marketing activities and attract more players to their site. If their plan succeeds a new wave of inexperienced players will join Paradise Poker in 2006 and make the games juicy. Will they succeed? Guess there is only one way to find out - join Paradise Poker and give it a go! Paradise Poker has great graphics and software and an excellent customer service with the fastest response time in the industry.

Features
All necessary features are available on ParadisePoker. You can tag your opponents with notes and view a lot of hand statistics in each session. You can play more than one table and disable both sounds and graphical elements. The lobby is very well structured and everything can be accessed directly from the lobby.

Poker Games Offered
The game variety is one of the best in the industry. ParadisePoker has no-limit and fixed limit games available for the popular poker variations Texas Holdem and Omaha (pot-limit Omaha is also available). Seven-card stud can be played on ParadisePoker as well as a bunch of rare poker games such as 5-card stud, Pineapple, Pineapple Hi/Lo and draw poker. The activity is limited on the rare poker variations but plenty of players on Texas Hold’em, Omaha and 7-card stud.

Software and Graphics
The software is excellent. Paradise Poker is widely regarded as one of the leading poker rooms in terms of software. The graphics look really nice and the entire website and poker application is build around a sunny Island theme. The software runs well and everything runs extremely stabile. We have never received reports from players who have experienced cancelled tournaments or disconnection issues due to software problems.

Player traffic
ParadisePoker was once the largest online poker room. However, they lost that position years ago when their competitors launched extensive marketing campaigns. Paradise Poker is still amongst the largest online poker rooms and there are plenty of players at all the different table limits.

Soft Competition
Paradise Poker was one of the very first online poker rooms. A lot of the today’s online poker professionals started their career on Paradise Poker and some of them still play at ParadisePoker. Some of them have spent years on improving their poker skills and the games on Paradise Poker can be extremely tough to beat. However, if you are looking to put your poker abilities to the test this is the place to go.

Loyalty Bonus
Paradise Poker has no loyalty program.

Promotions
The cash promotions are slim, however Paradise Poker often host many popular events such as the world’s first $1.000.000 winner-takes-all Freeroll tournament.

Customer Service
The e-mail support is absolutely world class. E-mails are often answered within minutes, and the answers are very professional and useful. No phone or live support is available - but that’s not necessary when e-mails are answered within such a short timeframe.
