 Hi everyone,

We are looking to add more reviews to our Poker Room Review section. I haven't played at some of these rooms so we're wondering if any of you guys have or would like to join one, and write up a review for us. We'll pay you $50 for each review used.

But you'll have to follow our exact format and guidelines.

The reviews need to be in the following format/order:
At a Glance Section
Rake-back Review/Details (Rake-back Rooms Only)
General Review/Details
Lobby Screenshot
Table Screenshot
Interface/Usability
Action
Technical Support
Fish
Bonuses

If you can follow our format, and include screenshots of the lobby and tables (500 pixel width), and give a complete, comprehensive, and un-biased review that looks and sounds like the one we have, we'll put $50 in your pocket! For each one that we use!

Except for the screenshots, each section above needs at least one paragraph. All ratings are on a 1 to 5 scale, not a 1 to 10 scale.

Please send the screen shots as separate jpg attachments. Please make them in focus at 500 pixels wide.

If the poker room is a skin of a network, any mentions of differentiating factors - ie- cash outs, promotions, bonuses, freerolls that are specific to that poker room - should be included. Obviously you must play at the exact room being reviewed, not just at a skin on the same network.

Here are the ones we need. Please use the links below when signing up:
Carlos Poker - No US Players. Open an account and get up to $300_bonus at first deposit.
PKR - No US Players. They'll match your first deposit of up to $250 with a 50%_bonus or, if you prefer, give you $25 just for depositing a minimum of $20.
Playboy Gaming - $100 Sign Up Bonus.
PokerTime - 100% Match Bonus up to $200 Free for New Poker Players.
Vegas Poker 247 - 100% up to $500, use Bonus Code VP500. Skin of Absolute Poker - US Players welcome.
VirginPoker - No US Players. Boss Network - $50 Daily_Freeroll.
Please check out this sample poker room review for reference: Titan_Poker_Review

Here are the steps for the $50
1. Check this thread to make sure no one has dibs on the room you want.
2. Reply to this thread to put dibs on a room
3. Write the review and send me a private message when it is done.
4. If we use your review for the site then we'll give you $50
5. Please do not place dibs on a room unless you are an active part of our community (forum member for at least a month and at least 25 posts).

Thanks,
Eric

 Note for the the PKR review. We will comp your account with $20 and 1000 PKR player points. This is only for the first person to place dibs on PKR so please send me a private message if that is you. Please re-read step 5 above before placing dibs.

Thanks,

Slash, it has been more than a month now and I haven't received a private message from you. We need to open Pokertime back up for bids because it is important for us to get this one done soon. Thanks.

Probably not the right thread for this, but the playboypoker review claims

Quote:

A few things to note is that in order to earn an MPP you MUST be involved with the rake, not just dealt cards. If you do not see a flop, you will not earn any points. This makes the bonus a lot slower to clear.
I've not played playboy, not going to until I find RB. But this doesn't sound right. On all crypto sites being dealt cards in a raked hand (where rake >$0.25) will gain you points or a fraction thereof.
Obviously no-flop-no-drop applies to most rooms.

I find nothing on the site to back this up. Any ideas?
Blah blah Op Blah blah

I have a few questions about your poker room.

Secondly, when earning MPPs for the deposit bonus, I see you get 1 point when the rake reaches 1 unit. If I play $USD I assume that means $1 rake. Do I get a point if I was just dealt cards preflop or must I be involved in the pot?

About the Mpp's I can advise you that you will be given 1 Mpp after the flop, so you must be involved in the pot.
I could e-mail them again to be sure, but I don't know how else to take their response?

 Yeah I just e-mailed them again to be sure and they made it clear that if you don't see a flop with your hand, you will get no points. Not even fractions. I guess just because it's on the same network as a different skin doesn't mean it adopts the same principles.

 I'm locking this because these reviews are now under control.

If we need more help we'll start up a new $50 thread. Thanks.
