Software and Graphics

Paradise Poker utilizes one of the best software to attract players from all over the world. The graphics are attractive and considering the traffic that the site generates, it needs to be appreciated that the site runs at a very light speed. To stimulate your visual senses, they provide terrific animation for cards being dealt, players betting & folding, chips moving into the pot, and the winning player collecting his/her chips.

Games and Tournament Traffic

Financial security

For many years, Paradise Poker enjoyed the reputation of being the world's largest poker site but the world changed and they lost the top ranking. The story with the tournament traffic is same as ring game traffic. Amazingly, they host events every 10-15 minutes during peak times.

Financial security is not an issue with Paradise Poker as it is one of the oldest and largest sites. Paradise poker room uses SSL encryption on all sensitive areas of Paradisepoker.com. For each game, they shuffled the deck 10 times with each shuffle moving each card somewhere between 1 and 51 times throughout the deck.

Brief review of Paradise Poker Room

Overview

As one of the first entrants to the online poker scene, Paradise Poker reaped the benefits of first mover advantage and is in the top 5 online poker sites. With several ad spots on television and the Million Dollar Freeroll promotion they are creating a new niche for themselves. Paradise Poker became the world’s largest online betting company after it joined forces with Sportingbet Plc, a publicly traded company on the London Stock Exchange (Ticker Symbol: SBT.L). It entertains very high player traffic with ease and its excellent poker software gives all of its players excellent betting and playing atmosphere.

Game Information

There is average information on the website for the beginners and novices alike. They have a tutorial, which explains the game and betting rules of different supported games. They do not have an exclusive Training Room where you can learn how to play poker against automated trainers for absolutely free. You can find an FAQ section, but the disadvantage is that the FAQ section offers very less questions. Signup Now

Player Traffic

The player traffic at Paradise Poker is fair and decent. This room is usually kept busy with texas hold’em & sit ‘n’ go tournaments etc, as these games round the clock. Needless to say, that the rebuy tournaments are at all times popular.

Tournaments/Events

Paradise Poker hosts many tournaments 24/7, with some tourneys having small entry fee, while some are substantially large. This is because the larger the entry fee, and the higher would be the prize pool. Paradise Poker offers many guaranteed prize pool tourneys, but seldom offers overlays. Events with big buy-ins normally have enough players to guarantee no overlays, whereas the smaller buy-in events would be rebuy formats. This confirms that the tourneys at paradise poker might not always carry overlays except for freeroll and FPP tournaments.

Promotions

Paradise Poker always believes in rewarding all its loyal players, and as such it runs great promotions. Some of them include the reload and VIP bonuses, excellent value satellite tournaments, etc. The room also has a standing membership referral scheme where players can earn up to $50 for every referral. It also has a very dedicated affiliate program through which players can make decent money. Paradise Poker has even been known to offer no-deposit bonuses up to a groundbreaking $1,000.

Soft Competition

The competition at Paradise Poker at times would be very loose at higher stakes. By and large, the competition is very loose and always encouraging, making a great place to play poker. For players who wish to have loose action, it ahs the micro-limit Hold’em and Omaha tables to engage them.

Financial security

Like discussed earlier, Paradise Poker is reckoned to be one of the foremost online poker rooms in the world, and as such, the possibilities of recording problems is very less. The poker is very safe since they use standard security and all your financial information is kept confidential

Customer and Technical Support

Paradise Poker has good customer service with player access to email, telephone and 24 hour live chat. The team is very professional, friendly, and is knowledgeable. Further, players can also have access to huge FAQ database, which can almost address all the player’s queries.

Deposit facility

Some of the options include VISA, MasterCard, NETeller, FirePay, bank draft, cashier's check, money order, etc.
