Are you tired of fighting strong professionals and trying to beat the rake?

Well, we have great news for you!

The list of rooms in which PokerProDeals offers its players favorable rakeback deals has recently been updates with two fish rooms.

We are talking about Italian 888.poker.it and Indian Spartan Poker. Let’s take a closer look at the features of each of them.

888.poker.it

Description

Italian fish have long been known for their low skill and not a single poker professional will miss the opportunity to increase their winrate by playing versus them. Especially when it comes to playing in a solid and reliable poker network. 888.poker it is the Italian reservation of one of the old-timers of the online poker industry – 888 poker network.

Traffic Review

Cash traffic is not as high as we would like it to be, but its main benefit is the low level of opposition. Traffic peaks in the evening in Europe. All traffic is focused at 6-max and 9-max tables. Game at limits above NL100 is not regular. There are usually about 3-5 tables at NL100. At NL50 – up to 5 tables. At NL20, NL10 – 5 tables at each limit. The most popular limits in Omaha are PLO25 and PLO50, at other limits game is kinda rare.

MTT traffic is pretty good and you can find some very interesting tournaments. Most of the tournaments take place after 6 PM Moscow time. Every day there are about 50 different tournaments. Most of the tournaments have buy-ins up to $ 22. The most expensive daily tournament is € 3.000 The Big daily with a € 109 buy-in. On Sundays 5.000 € you can play Sunday High Roller for € 250.

Sit & Go traffic is quite low. The room has its own type of spins called Blast poker. Unlike traditional spins at Poker Stars, 888poker.it uses a 4-max format. At the beginning of the tournament a timer starts, after which all players go all-in.

Software and Trackers

The client is available in Italian and English. Basically, it copies the client of the main site – 888poker.

In the cash-games lobby there are standard filters:

• Stakes (Micro, Lo, Med, Hi) – for filtering limits;
• Players (3-6, 7-10) – to filter by the size of the tables.

Table type is indicated by the corresponding graphic icon (Push or Fold, Fast, Snap, etc.) to the left of the table name.

The MTT lobby includes the following set of filters:

• Show (Running, Completed, Satellites) – to filter by status;
• Game (Holdem, Omaha) – filtering by game type.

To the left of the tournament name there is a graphic icon indicating the type of tournament (Short-Handed, Turbo, Super Turbo, Snap, Private, Progressive Knock-Out, 2nd chance, etc.).

In general, given the relatively weak level of opposition, we would not recommend to limit yourself by using game filters, since playing a little more expensively than usual can bring more profit.

888poker.it has a direct support for trackers.

Rake structure

At 888poker.it the rake is in the range from 2.5% to 5.5% (with rake caps) depending on the number of players at the table and the stakes. For example, at lower limits (NL2-NL20) the rake is 5.5% with a cap from 0.5 € to 3 €.

Spartan Poker

Description

Spartan Poker is the biggest poker room in India. It is an official company licensed in West Bengali. According to its laws, poker and some other games aren’t considered gambling.

Spartan Poker is a recognizable poker brand in India, which is a sponsor of Indian poker series (IPC).

Fast growth of the country during recent years together with loyal laws made possible the growth of online poker in India. Despite the relatively low level of living, the number of rich amateurs is big. Some people believe that this region is able to support the new poker boom right after South-Eastern Asia.

Terms of access to this reservation are negotiable via our contacts form.

Traffic Review

Traffic peaks several hours earlier than in Europe. Total number of connections exceeds 500.

Game currency is Indian Rupee (currency exchange1USD = 67Rs).

Most tables (6-max and 9-max) are focused at micro stakes. There are about 100 available tables, but only 10 of them are at stakes from NL25 to NL100. There are also several PLO-tables at these stakes.

More expensive tables (up to NL700) have episodic play and Omaha has almost the same action as Holdem.

There is an opportunity to play Chinese poker, Holdem 6+. These formats aren’t very popular though.

There is also some action at HU-tables.

Software and Trackers

Spartan Poker client is developed by Connective Games. It is designed in black and red and has a standard set of tools for regular play. There is a system of filters for custom setup of the main lobby. Waiting lists are available. The table has several options to change the way it looks. The only disadvantage is small font size at mini tables.

Trackers are supported via converter.

Rake structure

The rake is 5% at all tables. Caps are 12-15BB at low stakes and 10BB at stakes higher than NL15.

To get the details of rakeback deals at 888.poker.it and Spartan poker – feel free to contact our managers. We promise, you won’t be disappointed!

What kind of associations do ordinary people have with the word “Turkey”? Probably, these will be pictures of the sea, the beach and all-inclusive five-star hotels. But we both know that poker players are not ordinary people.

At the mention of “Turkey”, lots of poker regulars besides sunny beaches with nostalgia will recall the good old times when it was possible to get access to the sweet rooms of the Turkish PokerKlas.

For such nostalgic grinders (and for everyone who is trying really hard to find rooms with weak opposition), we are pleased to announce that PokerProDeals again provides its players with the unique opportunity to compete with hot Turkish fish at virtual poker tables.

Let’s review some of the features of the Poker Klas network.

Description

PokerKlas is not a poker reservation, but most of the players are Turkish amatreurs who are unlikely to be able to compete with professional grinders.

VPN for the game is not required, access to the cashier is done through an agent.

Traffic Review

The peak hours occur in the evening in Europe. Usually the number of connections doesn’t exceed 300. Almost all traffic is concentrated in the cash game. There is basically no action in MTT and SNG.

Cash game traffic for 6-max and 9-max NLHE tables is not huge, but the main benefit is a rather low level of opponents.

During the peak hours, the most popular limit is NL45, where you can find about 10 tables. At lower limits (NL30, NL15, NL8) you can find around 5 tables at each limit. Games at limits higher than NL45 aren’t regular.

Omaha is very popular at PokerKlas, especially No-limit version of Omaha. Every fan of it knows how difficult it is to find action in other rooms besides Poker Stars. Perhaps, the reason for this popularity is in the hot temperament of the Turks, who are used to creating action and experiencing bright emotions, for which No-limit Omaha is a perfect fit.

Almost all the action in Omaha is focused at the limits up to PLO / NLO45. On each of the three most popular limits (PLO / NLO45, PLO / NLO30, PLO / NLO15) you can find about 5 tables.

At PokerKlas there are HU-tables, but the action is pretty rare.

Software and Trackers

Poker trackers aren’t supported.

Rake structure

The rake at PokerKlas is 3% with no caps.

Rakeback

The room does not have its own VIP-system, but for its players PokerProDeals offers pretty favorable conditions that allow you to receive a rakeback up to 35%.

Resume

Overall, given the softer fields and the good rakeback from the PokerProDeals, cash players should definitely consider PokerKlas as a good option for increasing their profits.

 

It’s no secret that the fields at the tables are getting tougher every year. Meanwhile, most poker rooms no longer offer the same sweet deals as a few years ago.

In this context, the search for a room with the best deal becomes a mandatory step in planning any serious grind. We have prepared a special review of poker rooms, which any serious grinder in 2018 should pay attention to first.

PartyPoker

PartyPoker is one of the old-timers in the online poker industry. For more than 20 years of history, the company has gone through both rises and falls. But after the the GVC holding bought PartyPoker in 2016, a completely new chapter in the history of this room began. Offline poker tournaments have begun to be held under the PartyPoker brand and they have become very popular with those who prefer to get a live chat, rather than to stare at a PC screen. At the same time, the room did a great job of attracting amateurs (and also regulars) of online poker. One of the most important steps in this direction was the introduction of a weekly cashback from 20% to 40%, which is paid directly to the gaming account.

At PartyPoker you can find very good traffic in different types of poker. Of course, it is slightly worse compared to PokerStars – the long-time leader of the online poker. But don’t forget that PartyPoker offers a much better deal, so in the end it may be a more attractive option for grind.

Traffic features

The peak hours happen during evening time in Europe. Grinders can easily get enough cash tables (worth mentioning that PartyPoker has its own fast poker format called fastforward) and this applies both to NLHE and PLO.

MTT players will be able to find lots of regular tournaments for every type and buy-in, as well as try to win life-changing money on regularly held online series, which have a larger number of amateurs and boosted prize pools.

Deal (bonuses, rakeback)

As we said earlier, the PartyPoker loyalty program offers players the weekly rakeback from 20% to 40%.

Sounds good? Wait, that’s not all! When playing at PartyPoker through the affiliate program of PokerProDeals you can get additional bonuses that will make your grind even more profitable and enjoyable. Your total rakeback can reach 80%!

For more information and additional details about  the Partypoker rakeback, contact PokerProDeals via the feedback form.

PokerKing

This room is part of the American Winning Poker Network (WPN). Let us be very clear, the opportunity to play with American amateurs already makes this room worthy of attention. But, in addition to relatively softer fields, PokerKing offers all players a solid rakeback and a first deposit bonus.

Traffic features

The peak hours occur during evening time in North America. For residents of central Russia this interval will be from 2-3 AM to 7-8 AM. Of course, not every player will find such a schedule convenient for a regular grind. However, a good action and weaker fields are able to compensate for some of the inconveniences associated with the daily regime.

Deal (bonuses, rakeback)

PokerKing offers a first deposit bonus of 100% up to $777. It is equivalent to about 10% of rakeback and is paid in chunks of $2 for every $20 of rake.

The minimum guaranteed rakeback at PokerKing for any player is 10%. Multi-level VIP-program allows you to receive up to 40% of rakeback. Participation in the King Treasures promotion can add up to 20% more rakeback.

PokerProDeals offers its players additional payouts, which in sum with the rakeback from the room can be up to 70% rakeback. For more information about the PokerKing rakeback – feel free to contact us.

TigerGaming

TigerGaming is a member of the Chico Poker Network, which is one of the biggest poker  networks with American players.

Traffic features

As in PokerKing, the peak hours in TigerGaming correspond to the evening time in North America. NLHE is playing at most tables, but you can also find a bunch of PLO tables. MTT and SNG traffic is relatively low. In general, the main benefit of TigerGaming is the presence of lots of weaker players, even if the peak hours are not a very convenient time for Europeans.

Deal (bonuses, rakeback)

Overall, TigerGaming has a quite sweet cashback deal. Room offers a solid first deposit bonus, which gives about 33% of rakeback. The weekly cash race can add another 10-20% of rakeback, and the exchange of points brings an additional 6%.

Playing with the affiliate program of PokerProDeals your total rakeback can reach 60%. Interested? Contact us and we will give you the best conditions on the market!

Betsson Poker

This Swedish room is part of one of the world’s largest networks – the Microgaming poker network.

Traffic features

Most of the action is focused at 6-max NLHE tables. PLO fans will also be able to find their share of action. But MTT and SNG players are unlikely to consider BetssonPoker as one of the main rooms for a high volume grind.

Traffic reaches its peak in the evening European time. This is a definite plus for those who try to stick with the regime of the day.

Deal (bonuses, rakeback)

Betsson offers a first deposit bonus, which gives 25% of rakeback. The maximum status in the VIP system allows you to exchange points at the most favorable rate, which gives a solid 30% of rakeback.

In addition to the above bonuses from the poker room, PokerProDeals can offer its players unique conditions that can bring additional profit. For details, contact our affiliate manager.

BestPoker

BestPoker is one of the European representatives of the Asian GoodGame Network. This network is mainly focused on attracting amateur players. The use of software is prohibited.

Traffic features

The peak hours happen around the evening time in Asia, which correspond to the day / evening time in Europe. The room has a rather solid traffic at different NLHE and PLO stakes. The whole action is focused at 6-max tables.

Deal (bonuses, rakeback)

PokerProDeals can offer some of the most interesting and profitable conditions at BestPoker (rakeback up to 100%!). Be sure to check with our manager for details.

 

Chinese poker apps have become one of the main online poker trends in 2018. They have opened a unique world of the Asian poker boom for European players. Besides the fact, that the field of Chinese poker apps basically transfers us to the beginning of this century, they also have a pretty unique game organization. The heart of this kind of organization is the offline poker lifestyle, which has developed in China and other Asian countries.

So, let’s explore the features, which are common for all Chinese poker apps.

• Software- the poker client was created for mobile-play. In order to get it running on the PC, you have to use some kind of Android emulator;
• Account – in every Chinese poker-room (except PPPoker) players get already made accounts;
• Agent – handles all the organization of your game. The agent not only creates an account for you, but also handles all the transactions, provides (in many apps) the security of player’s funds and gives an access to the clubs for play;
• Club – it’s a “room inside the room”, which is created by one of the agents and has common tables and a pool of players;
• Tables – they are always created for a limited amount of time. You can play only one table per one account;
• Players – mostly we’re talking about mid to high stakes offline poker fans from Asia, and sometimes from the USA and Australia;
• Play money – all games are running at «play money» tables which are bound to some currency (most often it’s a Chinese yuan).

Despite such a huge list of common characteristics, every Chinese poker app has its unique features. Worth noting, that since June 1, 2018 such poker apps have been legally prohibited in China, but the amount of such poker rooms is successfully increasing, as well as the traffic in them.

According to the popularity and the time of appearance on the market all Chinese poker apps could be roughly divided into 3 groups:

• Old and big ones– PokerMaster, PPPoker;
• Poker rooms of the «second wave» – PokerKingdom, Oh Poker, ZhiWan (they all have an English version of the software);
• New and not very famous ones – CardClub, Facepoker, PokerWorld, Super Gaming (lots of them have only Chinese language).

Overall, it’s safe to say that the less famous a Chinese poker room is – the weaker the field in it, but the amount of tables and the probability of trackers support will be lower. Now, let’s talk about main features of the poker apps listed above.

PokerMaster

PokerMaster – is the «PokerStars» in the world of Chinese poker apps. There are hundreds of different clubs and thousands of tables running (in total). Full-ring NLHE tables are the most popular, but you can also find some action at PLO, OFC and even HU-cash tables. As for the stakes, you will find the most action at NL60-NL600 tables, but every club has some NL1k+ tables.

PPPoker

PPPoker – is one of the most unusual poker apps. Some of its exclusive features are listed below:

• Special software version for PC;
• Russian language software;
• Fixed rakeback;
• Clubs from Asia, the US, Australia, Russia and Europe;
• Domination of 6-max tables in terms of traffic.

At PPPoker (as well as at PokerMaster) you can find some PLO and OFC action. Worth noting, that the share of such tables is pretty relevant in the overall traffic.

PokerKingdom

PokerKingdom (former PokerLords). This Chinese poker app was one of the first to implement the badbeat jackpot (for four of a kind and higher combinations), which nowadays can be found at many rooms. Basically, PokerKingdom has two main differences from other apps: (1) roughly the same amount of NLHE and PLO tables and (2) almost all of the traffic is concentrated at mid stakes – up to NL(PLO)150 included.

OhPoker

Oh Poker (former Poker13) – the biggest poker-room of the «second wave». It specializes in 6-max NLHE tables. There are lots of tables up to NL150 included. During the peak hours at NL300-NL1.5K you can find from 5 to 10 tables per limit at clubs that are available to our players. There are some HU-tables (usually starting from NL300) and PLO-tables (usually up to PLO150).

ZhiWan

ZhiWan (former PokerSpades) – the first poker app where HUD isn’t working. In terms of tables of different types and formats it looks a lot like Oh Poker, but the traffic is lower. The most expensive games can be found at HU-tables (up to NL1.5K). Full-ring tables are usually available up to NL600.

CardClub

Malaysian poker app. It’s the only room where you can play up to 4 tables from 1 account. The main action is concentrated at NL50-300 6-9max tables. There are also some 8 Cards tables.

Facepoker

New Chinese poker room. Most of the games are running at NL30-NL300 8-max tables.

PokerWorlds

The newest poker app from China. All of the action is at full-ring NLHE tables up to NL150-300.

Two Americas are very different in regards to poker. USA is the Homeland of the game. Poker has a long history and a huge army of fans. Meanwhile, Latin America is still at the beginning of its poker way. But in terms of online poker the results are the same – lots of weaker and inexperienced players both from North and South America. So, it’s quite natural that poker rooms with American players attract the regulars.

Today, we want to talk about main poker rooms with American players, their features and the way they meet the needs of different players.

Every American-friendly poker room has at least one common feature – the peak hours. They correspond to late night/early morning in Europe. So, if you want to run into lots of American players, you’re gonna have to shift your sessions towards this time.

Poker rooms with US players

PokerKing is the leading poker room of the Winning network. It has a Russian website and support. PokerKing offers the highest rakeback amongst all poker rooms with US players. Rakeback consists of VIP-system cash rewards, weekly races and exclusive deals from our site.

 If you’re wondering about PokerKing’s traffic – you can check out our articles about different stakes – low, mid and high. Aside from a pretty good traffic at regular cash tables, PokerKing also has a bunch of features, which attract the regular players.

Amongst all US-friendly poker rooms, PokerKing was the first one that implemented Spins – Jackpot Poker. They have two major characteristics – (1) a 6% rake (which is not that high) and (2) a higher probability to hit the x4 multiplier (compared to, for example, PokerStars or PartyPoker). The only minus is the limited set of stakes – there are only 4 of them (from $2 to $40).

Besides, nowadays Pokerking is one of the few places where you can find a game at HU-cash tables up to NL200. Players are not allowed to sit at more than 4 such tables.

TigerGaming is the main poker room within the Chico network. First of all, we want to say that with our rakeback deal you can get a pretty decent rakeback in this room.  But what’s more important – TigerGaming has softer fields, compared to PokerKing.

You can find some info about the amount of tables running at TigerGaming in our recent article about poker rooms for play at night. Some key cash traffic-related features of TigerGaming are listed below:

• Nowadays, TigerGaming is one of the main places to play full-ring (9-max) tables. During the peak hours, the amount of full-ring tables running at TigerGaming is more than in any other poker room;
• NL100 is a very popular stake (especially, amongst the amateur players), because it’s the lowest limit to test you luck for the Bad Beat Jackpot (which is currently more than $1,000,000)
• TigerGaming is the only US-friendly poker room with the fast-poker (but it’s worth noting that you can find a considerable traffic only at NL10);
• Since 2018, NL10 has become the lowest stake and it has forced the amateur players to move up in stakes.

TigerGaming offers a kinda low rakeback (via points exchange) and it has no direct support for poker trackers. In order to get the HUD working, our players can use the converter. 

PPPoker  – we have recently made a review about this poker app. Our players have an access to several American clubs with the games up to NL2k.

PPPoker has been testing the fast-poker tables and if they’re gonna work well enough, there’s gonna be a great opportunity to plays lots of hands.

Poker rooms with Latin American players

Regarding the development of the poker theory at local languages, you can compare Latin America with Asia. The popularity of poker has been growing, but there aren’t lots of regulars, especially in the poker rooms that are open exclusively for Latin Americans.

LATPoker – is a poker room within the Red Argentina de Poker network. Our players receive a good rakeback and participate in a regular rake race (which is divided into different levels according to game stakes).

During late night there is a lot of action at mid stakes. At NL11-55 there are more than 30 tables in total. You can find out more about the traffic in LATPoker here. Unlike at US-friendly poker rooms, at LATPoker Pot-limit Omaha is no less popular than Holdem. This is one of the best poker rooms for the bumhunt up to PLO500.

Aconcagua Poker – the biggest, but also the more closed poker network of the region. In order to play there, you’re gonna have to use the VPN. Regarding the cash traffic Aconcagua Poker could be compared to the European Microgaming network. Worth noting, that Aconcagua Poker has lots of Pot-limit Omaha tables.

In the middle of October 2018 Aconcagua Poker has received a license in Spain. This is definitely good news. The traffic should increase (especially during European peak hours) and you will be able to play versus Spanish amateurs. Before that, you could have found them only at PokerStars.es. 

Now it is very hard to find online poker players who are unaware of Asian poker apps. This matter is one of the most discussed at poker websites. Today we are going to tell you about one of the most popular and extraordinary applications of those – PPPoker.

So why these poker apps from Asia attract players that much? Firstly, the opportunity to play at middle or high stakes in very weak squads with people who are more used to gamble in live casinos, or in an online style of ten years or so. That means that regulars of NL10-25 at PokerStars easily beat PPPoker NL100-200.

The access to such game is complicated with the series of specialties Asian poker apps have. Among them are:

• software created just for mobile devices;
• there is a rule: one account – one table played;
• the currency is play money and all the transactions are made with the help of an agent;
• all the tables are divided into clubs, no general traffic.

PPPoker is no exception but it has a series of advantages in comparison with similar applications.

PPPoker software advantages:

• there is a version for Windows;
• Russian and English support;
• converter operations to display HUD at the tables;
• the player creates the account on his own;
• the client is user-friendly and stable.

Advantages of playing at PPPoker:

• fish at all the tables;
• the variety of games (MTT, SNG, Cash Hold’em, Omaha, OFC) and stakes;
• Strict clubs policy against the teamplay;
• players from various countries of the world, not just Asian, but also American, Australian and European clubs in PPPoker;
• 5% rake contributed taken strictly from the winnings.

As we have already written earlier, one of the key elements of playing in PPPoker is the agent who gets you the pass to the clubs. A player is able to create the account without outside help, but he won’t get access to the proven clubs with weak fields.

That is why PPPoker is so effective in the bundle with PokerProDeals as in addition to the advantages we’ve listed above, you’ll also have the following:

• All your money are safe – in case anything happens with the app or the clib, you will 100% be able to get all the money back from your account in PPPoker;
• Fixed rakeback up to 40%;
• Small-sized minimal deposit and the opprotunity to make it using pay systems you’re used to;
• Opportunity to transfer chips from one club to another without any fees;
• low size of the cash out fee;
• full informational and technical players’ support;
• the good set of clubs which grows over time.

What clubs do we give our players access to?

Now in PPPoker we offer over ten clubs to choose from. This list only includes clubs after they are checked for game integrity and field weakness. That’s why we are able to guarantee our players that our clubs abide all the rules at all the stakes as there are plenty of weak players who barely know the rules of poker.

As clubs are created for the players from various countries, peak of the players’ activity in them is at the time when those countries enjoy their evenings:

• Thai and Philippines clubs – traffic peak at 17:00-19:00 MSK, stakes $0,30 to $60;
• Clubs from India –  traffic peak at 18:30-20:30 MSK, stakes $0,70 to $15;
• American PPPoker clubs – traffic peak at 04:00-06:00 MSK, stakes $0,20 to $20.

During the time indicated here, the density of fish at the tables is maximal. Different kinds of poker and proportions between them differ if we compare it with classic poker rooms. Hold’em, Omaha and OFC are presented in similar proportions. Several clubs from India have zero tables on NLH, just PLO/OFC players.

Such a variety is applicable to tables format as well. One is able to play at 6-max and 8-max Holdem tables as well as HU tables. PLO is presented with short and heads-up tables.

 

The main goal of all the poker players is winning money. Finding the easiest and the most convenient way is always the priority. The best places for finding such a way are poker rooms with the fish players.

The weak field in a poker room is a quite relative term. The assessment of this factor will be much dependant on the level of your skill and the stakes you play. However, there is a much more precise indicator – regular players profit size out of the play deliberately at the tables without considering any additional fees.

Based on this data, we’ve selected the poker rooms with the weakest fields for you. You will be able to win some not just thanks to recreational players but also with the help of great PokerProDeals rakeback deal.

BestPoker

The old European poker room with the Asian pool of players who got here after this room joined Good Game network. The weakness of the field of this room is formed due to the set of factors:

• the fast boost of the popularity of poker in Asia and complete absence of poker school websites and materials written on the local languages;

• the local mentality that makes gamblers embrace any results at the table as a fortune tell that can not be controlled;

• GG network policy for supporting amateur players in promotions, poker tables interface, VIP system (rakeback is defined randomly), poker software prohibition.

Minimal stakes at BestPoker – NL10 – so the weakest players are not spread across nano-stakes and have to play at the bigger stakes.

The big advantage for the regular grind at the weakest fields of BestPoker is how the play available during the day. The combination of European and Asian players leads to the environment where past-noon time to the late evening has the same number of tables at all the stakes.

You can see the following number of tables in BestPoker lobby during the day:

• NL10: 25-35;

• NL25: 15-20;

• NL50: 10-15;

• NL100: 7-15;

• NL200: 4-8;

• NL400: 2-3;

• NL1K: about 2.

Some other stakes up to NL20K are available, but the action is quite episodical at them.

Omaha tables at BestPoker are spread across the stakes in the similar fashion at PLO25-PLO600 and their number is 3 to 8. There is a more expensive play at least at one table at all the stakes.

TigerGaming

The Canadian poker room followed Best Poker steps and made the smallest stakes capped at NL10. The number of traffic in TigerGaming at all the stakes and at various time of the day was observed by us several times during the latest couple of months:

• Best Poker Rooms for Play at Night?

• Playing at Micro Stakes: Best Poker Rooms?

• Where to Play at Mid Stakes Poker?

The weak field in this poker room is supported by the following factors:

• common players aren’t able to use trackers without purchasing a separate converter;

• base rakeback size is quite small;

• North-American fishes come to poker tables to gamble on sports betting and casino and those are industries that are also well-developed by TigerGaming.

Unibet

In addition to animated software and poker software prohibition, new promotions based on task completions and hands played, random seating at the tables which interferes with bum hunting. As well as TigerGaming, Unibet is some famous sportsbook and online casino. It takes the aggressive marketing position in Europe and now is almost equal to the Microgaming network, which was quitted by the room back in 2014.

We’ve told you of the poker rooms for the general public with the weak field and fishes from the different regions of the planet. There are also poker rooms with the level of field limited not just with the factors we’ve mentioned above but also with the fact they are private.

Europe has the biggest poker reservation in Italy.

iPoker.it and Peoples Poker

Our website offers the exclusive access to play in those two Italian reservations. The weak field in these rooms makes playing in them very promising.

iPoker.it is a perfect fit for those who knows and enjoys Playtech software, which supports trackers directly.

Peoples Poker is interesting with its aggressive 5-max tables that have almost all the Hold’em action.

Both poker rooms have tables up to stakes of NL1K. Middle stakes have 10 tables at all the stakes during peak hours.

Aconcagua and LATPoker

Latin America is now in the shadow of the Asian poker boom, but the game gains popularity here, and the locals are more inclined to gambling than any other people.

Although traffic in Aconcagua and LATPoker is smaller than in Italian reservations and lots of tables here are at the smallest of stakes (we’ve described LATPoker night traffic in details here). South American poker rooms have the best conditions for bum hunting (we also offer huge rakeback at our website). It is similar to TigerGaming poker room with the weaker field.
