CakePoker was one of the few sites which kept its doors open to US Customers after the passing of the UIGEA. Compared to many other sites, Cake has seen a large amount of growth over the past few years, with 5,000+ players online during peak hours.
The Cake Poker download as well as the site itself supports English only. English is also the only language allowed at the tables.
Cake Poker’s download is very easy to receive and install. Its download is 14 MB in size, but if you have a good connection this will not take long. Once you get up and running you will notice that everything looks very clean with some nice touches added to make tables more user friendly. Cake Poker designed their own software, so it is unique and quite well done. In order to use Cake Poker you must have at least Windows 2000. Here is a direct quote from their website concerning Mac users:
“Unfortunately we do not currently offer a version of our software specifically designed for the MAC however many of our MAC users have successfully employed a PC emulator to play at Cake Poker. It is our understanding that both Soft Windows and Virtual PC work well with our software.”
Unfortunately Cake Poker refers to more technical requirements in terms like “a good sound card.” So, one must assume that you simply need a decent computer with recent upgrades on it.
To ensure that you are receiving the correct software, make sure that your download of the poker room is coming from Cake Poker's website.
When you're all done with the set up, you can choose your own realistic avatar and start your Cake Poker experience. CakePoker is one of a few sites allowing a player to change their name weekly. This can come in handy if you play in the higher stakes games and want to keep your identity secret. Once on the site, it is well protected by a 256 bit encryption algorithm to give you the safe gaming experience you're looking for.
