The Good, the Bad and the in Between of Online Poker Sites

[ad_1]

If you are interested in playing at online poker sites, one thing that you will be happy to know is that by the numbers it is absolutely the best poker site around. There is practically no statistical measure that online poker sites would want to have that Poker Stars does not lead in. They lead in the highest number of people that are on the server on average, they lead in the highest number of people ever recorded on the server at one point in time, they lead in the highest number of people on average in cash games and they lead by a massive amount in the number of people on average that inhabit tournaments. Their cash game and tournament selection is far and away the best on the internet and the number of different variants that they have available far eclipses any other site currently in existence in the online world. By the numbers, the site is definitely the best online poker site around.

However, there are many people that have never played at this online poker site and will never play there. The main reason for this is also the bad point about the website and that is the bonus offer that they have. For starters, this online poker site does not normally give out bonuses at all times and for that reason if you are unlucky enough to sign up for an account with Poker Stars at a time when they are not offering a bonus to you, you are going to end up out of luck as far as getting a bonus amount is concerned. The normal bonus when they do offer it is $50 and for a website that has all the money in the world when compared with any other online gambling operation it is a very pathetic bonus amount indeed. It is quite clear that without a bonus code of some sort to increase the available bonus amount, the bonus category fits decidedly into the bad area of things.

Another aspect of the site that is somewhere in between the two of those things has to do with the overall promotions that this online poker site offers. The welcome bonus may be bad, but other bonuses and promotions at Poker Stars run the gamut from being bad to being good. There are many promotional tournaments that you get into for free that can land you thousands of dollars and also many of these that their promotional tournaments are most definitely good. On the other hand, their loyalty program is very miserly and therefore not that good from the point of the player. Because of this, the fairest term to apply to the promotions category is somewhere in between.
