PokerKings Review with Maximum Rakeback and Bonus
PokerKings is a great choice for online poker for several reasons, the first being they are a rather new site that happens to be backed by a well established casino group. This makes for an ideal situation where the poker room is willing to offer large bonuses and promotions in order to break into the market, and unlike most start up poker rooms players do not need to overly concern themselves with the site’s security and financial stability. Their poker room also operates on the rakeback and bonus friendly IPN/Boss Media Network which is known for its ultra soft games.
PokerKings is offering an exclusive 100% up to €400 sign up bonus with a 30% monthly rakeback bonus to new players signing up on our PokerKings webpage.

PokerKings Software Review
PokerKings operates on the IPN network which gets so many praises for its outstanding customer support and ultra soft poker games that we don’t often hear much about their software, yet the software could truly be one of the networks best features. Over the years this software has been updated numerous times to ensure it remains up to par with the latest industry innovations and enhancements.
The lobby is very easy to navigate with the help of their tabs, which provides various functions such as: table view, profile edits, setting options, search for player and the support center. From this particular section, players can easily identify potentially soft games as the list of tables is sortable by betting structure, betting stakes, number of players seated, number of players on wait list, see flop percentage, hands per hour and average pot size.
A single click on a table’s name allows players to view the user name, stack size and location of players seated at the table. This information is visible in the right side view of the software’s lobby.
The highlight of the software is most certainly the tables themselves. It is clear that the programmers who developed these tables were either online poker players themselves or the team in command of development took extensive feedback from players to perfect the table options. Nearly, all the standard features are in place and located right where you’d expect them to be. Great news is you don’t need to deposit money to try these tables yourself. For the most part, a half dozen or more “practice table games: run around the clock. To try the software yourself head on over the PokerKings website to get started.
Overall we give the software an A rating and would give it an A+ if the software offered true “window styled” resizeable tables contrary to the standard and mini view options currently offered.
PokerKings Ring Game and Tournaments Reviewed
PokerKings is best known as a site which offers some of the fishiest games in online poker. This is largely attributed to the fact that they operate on the International Poker Network (IPN) which is powered by Boss Media. Here are some stats regarding game traffic specifics:
Ring Game Traffic: PokerKings operates on the internet’s third largest online poker network. As a result up to 3,000 real money ring game players can be found playing simultaneously during European peak hours.
Tournament Traffic: There are plenty of SNGs and multi table tournaments offered around the clock. During peak hours 10,000+ real money tournament players can be found playing simultaneously .
Game Variety: It should come as no surprise that Texas Hold’em is the most popular game on this network, but what is surprising is the significant amount of traffic this network has at Pot Limit Omaha and a draw game called 7-A (very popular). Additional games offered with lower traffic include Omaha Hi/lo, 7 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo.
Note to high stakes players: This network offers game in Euros, Pounds, US Dollars and Turkish Lira. High stakes players will find better value at the US Dollars and Turkish Lira tables as the maximum rake is 3 units regardless of which currency is being played, ie. a $3 rake is about half the amount of a £3 rake. Lower limit players need not concern themselves with this as the rake is very rarely maxed at lower limit tables.

PokerKings Corporate Details, Customer Support and Banking Policies
PokerKings is a newer online poker room which first launched for real money play in December 2007. The fact they are new should not be of major concern as the company is backed by a publicly (London Stock Exchange) traded casino group that has been online since 2001. They are fully licensed and regulated by Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LGA) in Malta. In our opinion they are one of the more financially secure and safer sites to play at and are an especially great choice especially for European players. Malta is part of the European Union which means PokerKings EU gaming license helps players of certain areas qualify for tax free poker winnings.
Customer support is available through phone and email.
Players can deposit using MasterCard, paysafecard and Personal Check/Cheque and can both deposit and withdrawal using Bank Draft/Cheque, Bank Wire Transfer, Maestro, NETELLER, Reverse Withdrawal Request, Solo, Visa and Visa Delta.
