Pacific Poker review

Owned by the 888 Group, the same company which owns and operates Casino On Net, the world’s biggest and most respected online poker operation, Pacific Poker is a poker room which is extremely popular with the masses. Despite the fact that rake collected is a little steeper than the industry standard (nothing a good cash-back reward deal can’t take care of), players continue to flock to Pacific Poker’s tables to take advantage of the excellent promotions the site runs. The Daily Challenge series offers players an excellent opportunity to put their skills to the test. Pacific Poker is some of the best destinations for guaranteed prize-pool MTTs, which explains why the overwhelming majority of real money traffic that the site gets remains focused on the tournament tables. Pacific Poker gives away more than $145k in guaranteed prize-pools each week.

Pacific Poker is not a member of a poker network: it uses its own in-house software, but it may be looking to start up a poker network of its own. Having gone through a recent overhaul, the software is truly outstanding these days. Players are represented by photo-realistic 3D-like avatars at the table. Everything is smooth and stable, and all the industry standard options one may have grown to expect from a modern online poker room are available.

The sign-up bonus is a 100% match on player deposits, up to $400. 25% of this money lands in players’ real money accounts straight away, after the first deposit has been made. The remaining 75%needs to be unlocked through real money play.
