Overall Ratings Categories

When it comes to rating each poker site overall, we’ve defined the categories listed below based on visitor feedback as to what’s important when choosing an online poker site to play either play money or real money at. For each category we give the poker sites a score out of 10 and then average all scores to come up with the Overall score. The poker sites with the highest overall score are the best online poker sites available today!

Tournaments

When rating a poker sites’ tournament action we look at how often tournaments are running, what range of tournament types do they have (bounties, general, deep stack, etc.), how many players are actively playing tournaments, the fee structure, blind structure, and of course the size of prize pools. We look for online poker sites with the most tournament action, biggest prize pools, and greatest value for our visitors.

Sit & Go’s

We also evaluate Sit & Go’s like we do tournaments. The online poker sites with the most Sit & Go’s running, a high amount of entries, cheapest fee structure, and biggest prize pools will get a higher rating.

Freerolls

Online poker sites that offer freerolls frequently to their members are great for our visitors that play more casually. We prefer poker sites that actively run freerolls for their members.

Rake

When playing online poker for real money, rake is very important – it hits the bottom line of your winnings! We review each poker site’s rake structure to determine the online poker sites with the best rake formula for our players.

Ring/Cash Games

The great thing about playing poker is that you are playing against real people! It’s not so much fun when you log in to an online poker site and there’s no one to play. That’s why we feel the number of ring game tables running and what stakes are available is a very important criteria when rating an online poker sites. When rating poker sites in this category, we look at how many games are running through-out the day at each stake level and give poker sites with more cash games at each stake a higher rating.

Traffic

As above, traffic for an online poker site is very important. The more players online through-out the day, the more action and fun there is for our visitors.

Bonus

In our mind, a top poker site is also one that offers great deposit bonuses. When reviewing our list of top online poker sites we look for the biggest and best deposit bonuses, best reload bonuses, and best promotions.

Software & Graphics

When playing online poker the aesthetics and usability of the software is critical. We’ve downloaded AND played each at each of the online poker sites to rate the software & graphics of their poker client. We rate based on how easy it is to use, the look & feel, and how enjoyable the poker client is to play on.

VIP Program

Each online poker site offers their own unique VIP and Rewards Program to their most loyal players. We review each poker sites’ VIP and Rewards Program and rate them based on the benefits offered side-by-side. As long-time poker players ourselves, we know it’s important to know that your online poker sites appreciates your business by offering a great VIP and Rewards Program.

Support

When evaluating an online poker site’s support we look at how long it takes to respond to an email to what forms of support they offer (eg. Chat, Email, Phone, etc.). In our opinion, an online poker sites with the best support is one that responds quickly and offers a lot of options to get a hold of their support.
