Not a bad room! by ttanaka on 03 Feb 2010

Sits on the Merge network so it shares
players with some other poker rooms, but
the traffic is still pretty low even for
being a poker site that allows US
players. They do have a good bad beat

Poker Nordica.com Overview
Notice: Residents of Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, New York, Kentucky, Washington, and Washington DC, or of the countries Australia and France are not accepted at PokerNordica.
PokerNordica is part of Merge Gaming, one the newer networks. Even though the name is new, the software is not. It has been around since early 2005 (formerly Poker.com) and has undergone many updates and changes. They’ve also added new rooms to increase traffic. Poker Nordica welcomes all US players to play in real money games.
Poker Nordica offers one of the largest variety of games seen at an online poker room: Limit, Pot-limit, and No-limit Hold’em; Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo; 5 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo; Razz; Limit and Pot-limit 5 Card Draw; and 2-7/A-5 Lowball. They also offer Badugi, a spin off of 2-7 Lowball with 4 cards.
Even with all the different games on offer, over 90% of the players are still addicted to the ever popular No-limit Hold’em. Other than during peak hours, there usually are only a few (or no) tables open for games like Omaha, Stud, and Lowball. Of the people playing No-limit Hold’em, almost all are spread across stakes $.50 - $1 and below. There are generally few tables open, if any, for stakes higher than this.
Overall, the Sit & Go traffic at Poker Nordica is slim, but the low stakes get action. If you like playing at $22 and below, you should have no trouble getting a game running. In fact, about 85% of the games we saw listed as running/finished were in this buy-in range. The most popular types being played are the heads-up tournaments and there is always a match going. They also offer regular/turbo in 10 or 6 max, and custom satellites to larger tournaments.
Multi-Table Tournaments at PokerNordica are primarily low stakes, much like their Sit & Go traffic. Most of the buy-ins are in the $.60 - $20 range, and they offer many small guaranteed tournaments ranging from $350 ($1 + $.10) up to $2000 ($20 + $2) daily. Many of these guarantees do not hit the mark, so you can expect to have some nice overlays in prize money from a lot of tournaments. An example of this would be the $2000 daily guaranteed prize pool with a $20 + $2 buy-in. Currently they have around 750 or so players that enter, generating around $500 in overlays daily.
You can really cash in at Poker Nordica with their freerolls. Every month, they are giving away over $100,000 in special tournaments with no buy-ins! Daily they offer many $50, some $500, and one $1000 freeroll, with a $2000 and a $10,000 weekly. One of their big promotions is their large $50,000 monthly freeroll, which is offered on the last Saturday of every month. One point that needs mentioning is that some of these freerolls, while having no buy-in, do have entry requirements. For example, in order to play in the monthly $50,000 freeroll you had to have earned at least 5000 Comp Points in that given month. (Comps Points are explained below.)
Playing real money games at PokerNordica will earn you Comp Points. While playing ring games, Comp Points are awarded to all players dealt in a raked hand. The amount you earn depends on the limit you’re at: from 3 points per hand at low stakes, up to 10 points per hand at the high stakes. You also earn Comps by paying tournament fees. The amount you earn varies and is listed in the tournament lobby, but usually averages around 75-90 points per $1 paid. Comps are mainly used for tracking bonuses and to award freeroll coupons (as described above). They also are used to evaluate eligibility for exclusive offers and special player's clubs.
Depositing on PokerNordica can be done through the following methods: Click2Pay; Neteller; Moneybookers; MyCitadel; Ecocard; Visa/MasterCard; and ePassporte. Poker Nordica recommended using ePassporte for depositing from the United States.
We use PokerNordica in this review because that is the brand name. However, people sometimes search for Poker Nordica instead. This review applies to both the brand name of PokerNordica and the searched name of Poker Nordica.
Poker Nordica.com Software Interface/Usability
The overall appearance of the interface at PokerNordica is very attractive. The lobby is well organized in a tabbed menu and by using these tabs you can show or hide different limits within games. When you join a new table, a tab in the lobby is displayed as well as a new window opening up. Up to twelve tables can be opened at once, which are resizable for your convenience.
The tournament lobby is accessed by selecting ‘Tournaments’. There you will find the regularly schedules MTTs along with Sit & Go and other private/satellite tournaments. One negative thing about searching through their MTTs is that, because there are so many, the list can look a little overwhelming. Navigating from tournament to tournament can be a bit of a hassle. However, players should use the preview box on the right of the Lobby screen which contains all pertinent information for the upcoming event.
The table layout is also very appealing. The seating offered for every limit is 9 player full ring, 6 max shorthanded, and heads-up. While sitting at the table you will find a few options to make multi-tabling easier. You can select a preferred seat, auto features, 4 color decks, and hand descriptions. You can also adjust table size to as small or as large as you like, or use a full screen mode. The note taking is also very nice at Poker Nordica. Not only can you take notes on anyone, you can select an icon to be associated with that player (ranging from a shark to a fish) along with using a color to display around them. This can help to make decisions easier.
Game speed was average, perhaps slower paced than some other online poker rooms. This can be good for your game if you like to take time to make decisions. However, it can be frustrating to those who like fast-paced games.
Hand history is instantly available but you have to go to the lobby to access it. In the lobby, go to ‘History’ to access their viewer. One frustrating thing is the format is very hard to follow. They are displayed in a picture format, as opposed to text. Additionally, they cannot be saved locally in text format. Instead, they are saved in XML format, so you cannot copy and paste into most applications.
PokerNordica Poker Room Action
While the Merge Network is still growing they have already begun making a name for themselves in Texas Hold’em. There is plenty of action to go around in small stakes games in both No-Limit and Fixed Limit games. While PokerNordica does offer a wide variety of games including Omaha, Stud, and Draw they do not necessarily receive enough action to get multiple tables going. If you are looking to multi-table and grind away a bonus your best bet will be $.25/$.50 NL Hold’em.
Tournaments and SNGs do not fare much better. While there is an extensive tournament schedule and many different SNG formats the games do not garner a lot of attention. Players who enjoy playing heads-up SNGs are in luck as the one-on-one structure seems to attract a lot of players. Their tournament schedule offers many guaranteed events which routinely have overlay, a nice perk for those involved.
Poker Nordica's Ease of Game, Ease of Making Money, Fish Rating
Being a site which accepts American-based players does tend to make the games slightly more difficult than their European counterparts. However, being a new room and on a network which does not have heavily populated mid-stakes games tends to make PokerNordica a much fishier site than PokerStars or FullTilt. There are plenty of fish in the small-stakes NL games and the SNGs and tournaments are full of bad players. While PokerNordica may not be as soft as sites like Party Poker it is certainly one of the easiest US-accepting rooms online today.
PokerNordica.com Bonus and Promotions
Currently, exclusive to FTR, PokerNordica offers a first time deposit bonus of 100% up to $600! To take advantage of this, you must use sign up at Poker Nordica through the links on this page and enter coupon code FTR100 when making your first deposit. Clearing this bonus is done by earning VIP Points.
Players will earn these VIP points by playing in real money cash games, tournaments, and SNGs. Players will earn 10 VIP Points (VIPPs) for every $1 in rake or tournament fees they generate. The bonus is paid in $10 increments every time a player generates 750 VIP Points. This means you must pay $750 in rake/fees to earn $10 of your bonus.
For example, someone grinding $10+$1 SNGs will have to play 750 of these tournaments to generate 1050 VIPPs. At that time PokerNordica will automatically credit your account with $10 of your bonus. This will continue to happen until 60 days are up or you have cleared your bonus in its entirety. This bonus is a bit of a brute to clear but it does release in $10 increments which makes it a perfect bonus for the small stakes grinder looking to boost their roll. While you may not be able to clear the entire bonus in 60 days you will still receive the amount you have earned over that time.
Besides a tradtional deposit bonus, Poker Nordica has added a VIP Program. All players start out at the Training level and gradually advance up to levels such as Featherweight, Lightweight, and Heavyweight as they do battle on the virtual felt. Moving up VIP levels gives players the ability to exchange points for cash and entry into monthly freerolls. Check out our Poker Nordica Rakeback Alternative page for all the details.
