The SetupPoker.exe file used to download Vulcan Poker is 310 KB, and the setup is painless, taking less than 3 minutes total. Once you have the program installed, you must create an account. You'll need to supply your name, an e-mail address, your date of birth, and a password of choice. This makes your 'Play for Fun' account, and you will get a username that consists of 'VPR' and a bunch of numbers. It will then ask you which poker room nickname you would like.
If you want to have a real money account at Vulcan Poker, you must register your account. I had trouble with this at first because the cashier loading screen got stuck on 'loading' a few times. If this happens, just close the window and try again ten minutes later. To finish your registration, you need to supply your address and phone number. There are four currencies to choose from: USD, CAD, EUR, and GBP. All the games on Vulcan Poker are in USD, but your cash gets converted to your currency after you're finished playing.
Once you actually get to the tables, the interface runs well and is easy to use. Both the lobby and the tables are well organized and easy on the eyes, and there are a variety of options to customize your poker playing experience. A couple drawbacks of the software are the fact that the tables are not resizable and the instant hand histories are in a non-standard format. All things considered, though, Vulcan Poker is a safe and enjoyable place to play online poker.
