Which Online Poker Rooms Should You Choose?

As a new poker player, one of the most daunting tasks you will face is choosing which online poker room you should choose and which you should deposit your hard-earned cash in. A quick search on the internet brings up more than 10,000,000 results but hopefully this brief article will help you to decide which online poker room is the best for you, since, depending upon the type of game you play and the stakes you play for, all have a bearing on which online poker room you should call home.

Choosing between online poker rooms

On the surface, each poker room online is essentially the same. Most offer cash games and poker tournaments in both play money and real money guises. The main differences are the liquidity (also known as player traffic) and the bonuses and promotions each offers. For example, if you play low stakes short-handed no limit Hold'em cash games, then almost each of the rooms will have enough traffic to satisfy the needs of the majority of poker players. However, if you prefer to play full ring, high-stakes five card draw, then your choice will be severely limited due to the lack of popularity enjoyed by such a game.
As mentioned, the majority offer financial rewards, known as bonuses, to attract new players and also to retain the ones they already have. Each is different in what they offer, so it is worthwhile looking at the terms and conditions of the bonuses and loyalty schemes before you commit your poker bankroll to their site, since some sign-up bonuses look amazing until you realise that, at your stakes and available amount of time to play, you would not even be able to clear a third off.

UK online poker rooms

Many British poker players would prefer a UK online poker room but unfortunately for them such a room does not actually exist. Although there is no UK online poker room, some, like Ladbrokes, have UK based offices and are answerable to the UK authorities. Any site worth playing on will be very open about how it audits the shuffling process and will explain the banking procedures, and in fact will be happy to answer any question you may have. Being from the UK, online poker rooms will climb over themselves to sign you up because, at present, UK online poker rooms are not restricted in any way in relation to what games they can offer, but outside of the UK online poker rooms are often unavailable to residents of certain countries.
