Euro Poker review
Summary
Here’s Euro Poker another addition to the Ongame group network, which is one of the biggest names in the gaming industry. There fore integrity, security and reliability here is definitely not an issue. The software is excellent including the no download version and it also offers multi-lingual support. Overall it’s a great place to play poker with good tournament traffic, decent competition and interesting promotions.
Software and Extra Features
The recent update in the software has made it friendlier with excellent graphics and is highly reliable. With the increase in Mac and Linux community they have also provided a no download Java version of their software. See Mac online poker section for more detailed information. Another important feature is providing interface and support in local European languages. You can also create private tournaments with your own limits, buy-ins and start time.
Player Traffic and Competition
The traffic at Euro poker has been quite good. Remember they attract more European players due to multi-lingual support and Macintosh and Linux compatibility. There are around 2500 ring game players and 5500 tournament players playing for real money during peak hours.
Being a new poker room and due to the influx of new players the competition is really soft. The overall flop percentage is around 45%, but higher stakes games are more competitive and harder to win than lower stakes games.
Sign up Bonus
They offer a great sign-up bonus of 100% up to $100 and a free ticket to the tournament. The bonus is not immediately deposited in to your account. But you are awarded Player Points (PPs) for every raked hand you play and for every 10 points you earn a dollar. So, the more points you earn, faster you receive the bonus and the time period to claim the bonus is 60 days.
Game Variety and Promotions
They offer standard game variety of Texas holdem, Omaha (hi and hi/lo), 7 card stud (hi and hi/lo) and 5 card draw poker. During showdown if you make a royal flush with at least one of your pocket cards then you are entitled for a bonus of 100 times the lower limit and is only applicable to ring games.
