Software score: 4.0
PokerRoom.com has stable and high-end software. The software is not so good for playing on more tabels at once. The statistics functionality is good, with features such as hourly win/loss rate.
The lobby information can still be a bit confusing.
PokerRoom also offers all their players to download poker games for mobile phones.
Bonus/loyalty program score: 3.5
PokerRoom has a decent player points program. Points are awarded for every raked hand in which a player participates. The points can be used as buy-in in some tournaments or be converted to cash.
There are many other ongoing promotions as well, including guranteed events, WPT qualifiers and a royal flush bonus in cash games.
Tournaments score: 3.5
Many, many tournaments and special events with added prizes. Actually so many that it is easy to get a little confused.
Good traffic, around 30.000 at peak time. Lots of free rolls.
Competition level is average to tough.
Cash game score: 4.0
Nice traffic, around 7.000 at peak time. A bit focused on 6- player tables but with a reasonable spread.
Competion is average with some really good tables. The tables can be a bit hard to find as view flop percentages aren’t shown.
Signup bonus score: 3.0
50% bonus on your first deposit, max. $100 plus 3 free tickets to the Weekly Welcome Series tournaments. Fairly easy to get the bonus released.
Rake: 3.0
The rake at PokerRoom is bit better than industry standard or a lot worse – it depends entirely on your style of play.
Tight, aggressive players will end up paying less rake at PokerRoom than at most other poker rooms (as low as 2%) and loose players will end up paying more (as much as 8-9%).
