Poker.com
Poker.com's Christmas 2007 Promotion is perhaps the coolest promotion I have ever seen. You are literally on a scavenger hunt for prizes like a Nintendo Wii, Ipod Nano, Laptop, WSOP Seat, and Cold Hard Cash. At the very least, you can find the Christmas Tree on the website for a Special Deposit Bonus for January.
If that weren't enough, there are also Secret Santa Sit-n-Goes playing randomly all month. Be lucky enough to enter in one and you'll play for double the normal prize pool.
If you see this secret table at your next SnG, put on your lucky slippers because you're playing for double the prize pool!
New Depositors:
200% Deposit Bonus up to $500!
(Code: FIRSTSANTA) Good until 12/31/2007.
Includes free entry in the "New Depositors Freerolls" for 14 days and a freeroll entry to the "Choose your $12,500 seat" Restricted Freeroll. New depositors only.
Finally...there's scientific data!
We've all thought about it at some point in time...is online poker rigged? The debate has gone on forever, but no one ever seems to have any data to back up their claim...until now! We have come up an experiment that puts online poker rooms to the test, and let you in on the results.
Almost anyone who plays online poker has a bad beat story they can share; how that maniac called you all-in and caught his backdoor flush draw to leave you hung to dry...or how your quad 7s were somehow taken out by a straight flush on the river. This, for better or for worse, is part of poker, and will always be part of poker. To be quite honest, poker would be very dull without this element of chance. And you have to admit…it feels good when the tables are turned and underdog hand somehow pulls through in the end.
That being said, it is not our intention to rid this element of chance; that would be silly. We simply intend to ensure that cards are being randomly generated, and that bad beats are being delivered at the correct rate that they should be.
It is our mission to test and collect scientific data from poker sites and to inform you in the most objective way possible of the results of which we find. It is our hope that, through our findings, online poker players all around the world can feel safer knowing the site(s) they are playing at are safe, secure, and honorable.
We strongly advise you to bookmark this page, and come here whenever you think about downloading and putting money in a new site, as we are constantly testing and putting up new results.
