Welcome Bonus: 100% up to $500 (limited time offer)

Absolute Poker offers one of the easiest bonuses to clear in comparison to most online rooms. This is why they are one of the favorites among bonus players and as a benefit you will immediately qualify for their special VIP program for depositing players. They recently added a bad beat jackpot into the mix which since its release just under a year ago has awarded over $6.5 million to Absolute Poker players. Other benefits of this room include; steady traffic at all hours of the day, great software platform and huge guaranteed tournaments along with seats to live events. Absolute Poker accepts US players and now provides an instant play.

Currently Absolute offers all new players a welcome bonus on top of consistent reload bonuses. This bonus will be added to your players account in increments once you have earned the required amount of FPP’s. The Absolute VIP program provides you with extra tournaments, faster comps and free cash offers depending on the level you are currently at in the program.

The competition in this room differs between most online rooms mainly because Absolute Poker has gained quite a few players whose main purpose is to clear their bonus. The average viewed flop percent can range from 45% to 55% depending on the tables you choose to play at however you will find quite a few low limit games that are considerable tighter than normal.

The ring games are all played in shorthanded tables meaning six players instead of nine. The selection of games ranges between Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi Li, and 5 Card Draw. Each of these games ranges in stakes from $0.05/$0.10 up to $50/$100. The majority of attention is catered to the Texas Holdem games and since Absolute Poker added the “Bad Beat Jackpot” you will rarely find a table running that doesn’t include this. All of the tables that qualify for the jackpot are highlighted in red. Absolute Poker takes a fixed rake set at 5% of each pot with a maximum take of 4# per pot. They do support the no flop no drop rule.

The tournaments available are well structured and highly populated. On average you can expect over 7,000 real money tournament players. The games spread between all of the limits Absolute Poker offers and you will find a large amount of daily guaranteed and freezeouts. Absolute Poker provides players with seats to live events along with their own popular “Featured Games” like the Absolute Dream Package. The Sit n Go tournaments are also structured for 6 player tables and do provide a wide range of buyins. That being said unless you are playing during peak hours you will need to wait a bit for a game to begin.

The software just went through a huge upgrade which has brought Absolute Poker up to the same standards in quality as the other top online rooms. With the current update they now provide more user control features and capabilities than before, as seen through the selection of table views, faster card dealing and 4 colored decks. The lobby is simple and offers and easy to use navigation along with all your vital statistics such as viewed flop percentage, hands per hour and average pot size. Multi-tabling is available with a seamless resize tool. You will be able to play up to four tables at once with no interruptions to your game. The speed here is no longer an issue and the software itself is stable and reliable. You shouldn’t experience any lags or delays.

Support is only available through email and provides multiple departments meaning your emails will be handled by a trained and qualified person. Response time is decent with most enquires handled within the hour.
