Absolute Poker Review

Absolute Poker Player Review
Absolute touts itself as one of the best online poker rooms in the world. If the site was going to be judged simply by the homepage, it would be easy to argue their claim, but upon a further look inside, Absolute Poker does have something to offer the online player.

The Absolute Poker homepage has much to be desired. It is a basic site that even the most novice of programmers could develop. The color scheme is boring, and it does not appear much effort was put into designing the logo. Compared to other online poker sites, their grade is low on appearance.

The one thing that does jump out, however, when entering the website is the higher than average sign up bonus. When it comes down to it, most poker players could care less about appearance, they just want free money.

The sign up match bonus at most online poker rooms is 100%. Some rooms give 110%. Absolute Poker offers a 150% match bonus for a first time deposit. That is the stuff that makes people want to play cards at Absolute.

Absolute offers all of the normal poker games that all of the top sites offers. They also have a bad beat jackpot similar to those that are run at land based casinos. In order to qualify for the bad beat jackpot on Absolute, a player must have quad eights or better and be beat in the hand.

The promotions that are run at Absolute Poker are also special. They currently are running one that could land a lucky player at the Kandyland Party at the Playboy Mansion. The winner of this prize will receive tickets to the Kandyland Ball, three nights hotel accommodations, $2,000 for traveling expenses, and a VIP tour of the Playboy Mansion.

The site also offers bonuses to people who refer other players to Absolute. In all, what Absolute lacks in glamour, they make up for in effort.
