Top Poker Rooms
 |
William Hill Poker |
| Ranking: 1 | |
Summary: If you are new to playing online poker, this is the room for you. If you don't want to be rushed into making decisions (thus leaving yourself open to more 'experienced' players), this is the room for you. And, if you want to play tables marked in £££ Sterling, this definitely is the room for you. Graphics rank 5/10 but the chances of finding games that are easy to win are 8/10. |

 |
VC Poker |
| Ranking: 2 | |
Summary: Gamble.co.uk have teamed up with Victor Chandler Worldwide (one of the world's first providers of online betting and gaming) to bring you a British Multi-Player Online Poker Room you can trust. We think you will find this a strong poker playing experience with good features and excitement. Brings together poker players from around the world in a friendly community environment - plus a 20% bonus. Graphics rank 5/10 and ease of winning is good at 7/10. |

 |
Party Poker |
| Ranking: 3 | |
Summary: Touts itself as "The World's Largest Online Poker Room", and in terms of players, it probably is, with over 70,000 at peak times. The graphics are brash but good (rated 7/10) and there is a lot more going on than on other sites, and tournaments run up to prizes of $1,000,000 with just typically $22 buy-in. $25 extra bonus with this link. Ease of winning is 6/10. |
|
 |
PokerStars |
| Ranking: 4 | |
Summary: PokerStars.com is a fun and safe place to play poker. It also hit the headlines as the poker room which gave us the 2003 World Series of Poker Champion. Poker Stars stands out from the crowd in other ways, though. The software has been developed by those who play real poker. That means games move at a good pace, making sure players get good value for their time online. Cards are dealt briskly, bets are made, and pots awarded all in good time. You also gain rewards for frequent player points. Pushes Party Poker close for peak traffic levels. Graphics rank 9/10 but finding games that you can win is a problem; ease of winning 3/10. |
|
 |
PokerRoom |
| Ranking: 5 | |
Summary: There are two kinds of online poker players in this world - those who have heard of PokerRoom and those that haven't. If you haven't then the chances are high that you are either new to the game or you've already found a site that's so good you haven't felt the need to look around for alternatives. I say this because, if you had looked for alternatives, PokerRoom would have come high on your list of suitable candidates. Graphics rank 8/10 and ease of winning is 6/10. |
|
 |
Everest Poker |
| Ranking: 6 | |
Summary: Everest Poker is pretty unique among online poker sites because it has taken a fully international view of the game, rather than one that is primarily geared toward English-speaking online poker players. Everest says they are dedicated to “bringing together hold’em poker enthusiasts from all over the world for an exciting global gaming experience,” and they have certainly put their money where their mouth is. Graphics rank 8/10 and ease of winning is poor at 5/10. |
|
 |
Ultimate Bet |
| Ranking: 7 | |
Summary: UltimateBet offer limit, no-limit and pot-limit Texas hold'em in play chips (as in 'not-real') and in real money stakes ranging from $0.10 (6p) to $100 (£60). You can take a game tour before you start and even some online lessons. However, the download is free and fast, so you might as well get stuck in and play for fun (at least to start with) right from the start. With the link below, you'll also get a 20% sign-up bonus up to $100. Graphics rank 9/10 and ease of winning is poor at 2/10. |
