Absolute Poker Review

Absolute Poker, a fully licensed and regulated poker room, one room of the few still accepting US players, has been in business for 5 years. Known for offering easy to clear bonuses and massive tournaments, Absolute Poker has recently started offering a bad beat jackpot, the highest paying bad beat jackpot on online poker. Besides, after the software update the room is able to offer custom features amd more user control.

As for the bonuses, all new Absolute Poker players get a 100% deposit bonus up to $500. In addition to that, players qualify for reload bonuses available weekly. To clear the bonuses, you have to play in any of the real money ring games and tournaments. If the requirements are followed, the bonuses will be deposited into players’ accounts in increments of $10. Once you have earned 30 frequent player points for every $5 collected in bonus dollars, you may clear the AP bonus. And for each raked hand you play in at a rate of 1pt/$1 rake, the FPP are awarded. Blackjack players qualify for their own initial deposit bonus with a 60% match up to $230 which can be cleared by rolling it over 12 x the bonus awarded.

It has been noticed that competition at Absolute Poker is fierce. The reaon for that is the popularity of bonuses and the number of players trying to clear them. However, the number of micro games is also big there.

Absolute Poker tries to cater to various players. The room offers some ring games including Bad Beat Jackpot, it supports Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi Li, 7 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud Hi Lo in heads up and 6 player tables. The popularity of the room seems to have increased. Thus, over 2,000 real money players are said to be visiting the poker room during the peak hours. Both micro and high stakes are available there, which is nice as while some players will be able to play with the minimum risk, the others will be able to sharpen their skills. It must be mentioned that Absolute Poker takes a %5 rake from each pot up to the muximum of $3 with a no flop no drop rule in place.

Buyins start as low as $1, while the highest ones reach a couple hundred. Re-buys and freezeouts are common for the AP, however the room promotes their own signature branded tournaments like “Absolute Poker Dream Package”. Besides, AP players can qualify for live events taking place across the globe including WSOP.

Thanks to the software update, AP players now have the choice between three table views (full view, quarter and top views). Moreover, the room now supports a no download client which is great for Mac and Linux users. The easy to navigate lobby with clearly laid out options does not seem to be overwhelming.
