EuroPoker Review
EuroPoker services primarily a European clientele. The online poker room allows for different languages and currencies besides English and the US dollar, though these are the game room’s standard. EuroPoker is part of the Sweden-based Ongame group, one of the largest gaming networks in the world, and as such one can expect high performance standards and maximum security for all financial transactions.
Compared to the other colorful software out there, the color scheme of the EuroPoker software might seem a bit dark and drab, but some might also find it a refreshing break from the standard lively, fanciful "look" of other game rooms. There are a few complaints about the software, however, such as buttons being too close together, timeout being too fast, etc. The signup process may also be a bit buggy, but there are no serious glitches.
One good thing about this poker site is that it has a Java version that allows people not on a Windows machine, or playing on a guest computer, to log in and play without having to install anything.
The software has all the basic features, with the addition of a display for the maximum rake per level. Another plus for the software is giving each player the ability to create their private tables.
The site has a rather healthy playing population, with peak hours bursting with 2,500-3,000 ring game players, and 9,000-11,000 tournament players. The interest of these players may well be preserved by the generous daily $500 prize pool freerolls, but the fact is, the game room has a good tournament environment, and players all over the world know enough to take advantage.
Games are fairly soft in the lower and middle levels, and together with the large member population, this makes for a nice, clean environment for money players. The flop averages around 50-55% at below $.10 NL, with average pot sizes rising above $8. Sharks abound, though, especially in the higher levels.
Points in the site are simply called Player Points or PPs. These can be used to redeem bonuses within the site. The rake is slightly higher than industry standard, with five percent of the pot up to a maximum of $3. Currently the games offered are: Texas Hold'em, Omaha, 7-Card Stud Hi and Hi/Lo, and 5-Card Draw.
Like HoldemPoker, another large earner from the Ongame network, EuroPoker uses a Web-based feedback form. This is not a very highly recommended method for providing customer support, but there have been quite a few satisfied users who admit that the email response time is quick and to the point. Respondents are available 24/7.
