Players Only Poker Room Review

* Only accepts players from U.S. & Canada.

Overview:
Players Only Poker shares the same network as all of your favorite sites such as Doyle’s Room, Sportsbook Poker, and Cake Poker. They have only been around for a couple years but in comparison to other rooms, they are doing excellent offering great bonuses and an abundance of tournaments. You will find that they have around 4,000-6,000 players at any given time. Players Only accepts US players, and everyone can take advantage of the excellent software that was built by poker enthusiasts. This room navigates well, offers excellent tools, and has pretty good graphics. You will also enjoy the many choices available as well, even including picking out your own avatar.

Games:
Although you will not find any stud based games, you will still find your other favorites such as Texas Hold Em and Omaha. Stakes for Texas Hold Em start out at $0.02/$0.04 and will peak around $500/$1000. Omaha starts at $0.02/$0.04 as well but only climbs up to $300/$600 and $30/$60 for Hi/Lo. These stakes are very high when compared to other games on the same network which offers more value to their players.

Many tournaments are available here at Players Only. Tournaments will normally start around $0.10 and climb well over $1,000 with many different options such as re-buys and add-ons available. Sit n Go’s start out at $1 and for all of you that have money to burn, you can play as high as $5,000 games. Most of these high stakes games consist of short handed tables and HU matches. You will also find plenty of guaranteed tournaments that range from $10,000 to $20,000 daily. You can find many satellites to these events for as a couple bucks well up to $100+.

If you are looking to win the 1st place prize of the 2009 WSOP Main Event, you can try to do so by winning a seat through Players Only. If you decide to play directly in the super satellite you can do so for $425. This is a great investment if you make it into the money at the Main Event.

Bonus:
New players get the luxury of a 100% match on their deposit good up to $650. They will add 10% to that as a gift to you. The play through requirement is great here. You only have to play through 2 times your total bonus which is unheard of in this industry. Just be sure to work hard at it as you only have 90 days to complete the bonus.

You will earn $0.06 for every FPP earned and once you hit $10 you will release your first bonus. It will continue in this manner until your bonus has been exhausted. Since you will earn 1-3 FPP’s at a time, it is safe to assume that you can release $10 of your bonus every 2 hours or so. This is assuming you are at a table that does about 100 hands per hour. Players Only also spoils its players by treating them to a $500 freeroll.

The bonus program here is great and an awesome incentive to all of the players. You will convert your FPP’s into gold chips which can be used to buy stuff from Players Only gift shop or to buy into tournaments. The more FPP’s you earn, the faster you will earn gold chips as they are on a sliding scale. Gold cards are given at random to players in ring games and can be saved for a rainy day or used to buy into tournaments, win the daily lottery, or massive jackpots. These never expire so use them when you want to.

Deposit Options:
At Players Only you can deposit with your MasterCard, Visa, usemywallet, NETeller, or money booker’s. You should be aware that this can change frequently, so you should always check that your favorite deposit method is available first prior to making a deposit.

Summary:
For the lack of experience that Players Only has, they sure make up for it by offering lots of value to their players. Great bonuses and easy play through requirements is only the tip of the ice berg for this room as they also offer superior support as well. You can contact them with a toll free number, email, or via live chat. Live chat is an awesome feature and is starting to become an industry standard. You get answers fast this way and the staff is always friendly and eager to help. With all of this going for them, you can be certain that Players Only is only going to continue to grow and get bigger. Go to Players Only and sign up for their $650 bonus today!
