Since being thrust
onto the online poker scene in 2006, Cake Poker has really been making
a quite a name for itself. Fast becoming one of the powerhouses of
the smaller market rooms, the site will be a major player in the
future as they continue to grow and expand. Helping its case more and
more is the fact that it’s one of the easiest rooms for
U.S.A. poker players
to deposit on, and along with the monthly bonus they automatically
deposit back into their customers’ accounts every month, it’s no
surprise why they are gaining quite the player base. The soft
competition and easy ring games also make Cake Poker one of the more
enjoyable poker rooms out there right now, and their endless amounts
of promos and player bonuses also bolster its status.
Currently, you have your cake it and eat it too with a first-time deposit
bonus of 100% up to $500! In addition to your initial deposit, you will
be eligible for frequent reloads throughout the year. The bonus is a
cinch to clear too. Being paid out in $10 increments, all the player has
to do is sit and participate in one of the many cash games, Sit and Go’s,
or tournaments to gain comp points. For every 16.67 “Frequent Player
Points” you earn you will unlock $1 in bonus cash. It would take only a
few hours at stakes as low as $2/$4 to clear a decent amount of the bonus,
if not all of it (depending on the amount you deposit).
In
addition to the outstanding bonus structures at Cake Poker, players will
be eligible for the vast amount of freerolls, guaranteed money tourneys,
and prizes that the site gives away on a daily basis! Players can earn
“Gold Chips” that can be used towards tournament buyins and merchandise at
the CakeShop. During ring games, you can also earn “Gold Cards” that help
you earn free cash just by playing! Collect all 52 of these “Gold Cards”
and you can win up to $52,000!
The game selection Cake Poker currently offers is very basic. If you
enjoy playing the regular games that most all poker sites offer, then
you’ll still love Cake just as much. Their lineup includes Texas Holdem,
Omaha Hi and Omaha 8/b, as well as Stud Hi and Stud 8/b. The standard $3
max rake applies at full ring tables, with the “no flop, no drop” rule
always in play. Most of the traffic is concentrated at the Holdem tables,
with a fair amount of action being seen consistently at the Omaha ring
games. Stud isn’t exactly the most popular game at ANY poker site, and it
gets about the same amount of fanfare at Cake Poker. They do, however,
offer daily tournaments and freerolls that every player is eligible for,
and the Sit and Go competition is one of the softest on the internet. If
you’re looking for a game, you’ll always be able to find one at this site.
Now what makes the games just as enjoyable to play is the software. The
developers at Cake Poker spent 2 years alone designing and perfecting
their tables, and it really shows with the finished product. Although
it’s a similar to the Ongame Poker Software, the unique graphics and
avatars really make it a fun place to play a session or two. It allows
for multi-tabling as well, and is completely devoid of lag if you open up
more than 1 table. The user interface is clean, simple, and very sharp.
Also, the lobby is easily navigable and the tabs make it very easy to
search around for the right cash game or tournament.
Along with the software accolades, Cake Poker also has one of the best
customer support teams out there today. Although the only support option
offered right now is via email, their turnaround time on inquiries is
lightning-fast and very efficient. You’ll always get an answer to your
questions, and a representative will make sure to get to your concerns
immediately.
The current deposit methods that Cake Poker offers are: INSTACASH, Visa,
MasterCard, Neteller, ePassporte, MoneyBookers.
