Action Poker.com Overview

ActionPoker is owned and operated by Ecom Enterprises, a subsidiary of Playsafe Holding AS, which is a publicly listed company in Norway (OTC). It's a non-US room, so American players (and also Turkish players) need read no further. One of the more interesting things about this room is that it offers games popular in Asia such as Guts Poker, Chinese Poker, Big 2 Poker and Pan (Panguingue), which are not normally found on Western rooms. They also provide the usual Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, and Blackjack.

For players unfamiliar with the exotic games they have a complete "how to" section on their website. These can be a lot of fun to play and can be a nice break from Hold'em. Nevertheless, you will still find the most action huddled around the NLHE tables, specifically low-mid stakes. There are always 25, 50 and 100nl tables going at most times of the day and a few higher stakes. If you're in for nosebleed stakes, Action Poker probably isn't for you.

Tournaments aren't exactly the bread and butter of ActionPoker. In fact, they have one of the weakest turnouts of any online site we’ve seen, although they are still trying to build up their player base. Their Sit and Go tourneys range from microstake buy-ins of $0.10+$0.01 up to $200+$10, but don't except to see much action past the $50 level. As for MTTs, you're lucky to get a tournament with over 100 participants. The average buy-in is very low and at the time of our last login the highest available was a $10k guaranteed tournament with rebuys at $30+$3, but that was scheduled for two weeks in the future.

Freerolls are another matter. A large portion of the MTTs on offer at ActionPoker are freerolls with fields of 1,000 players or more. That means Action Poker is a nice place to start if you don't have money to deposit.

Playing at Action Poker earns you Player Option Points (POPs). POPs are earned by playing raked games at cash tables or by tournament fees. For every 10 cents in rake you pay, you earn 1 POP and $1 in tournament fees earns you 10 POP. There are a few things you can do with your POPs, including exchanging them for real money. Currently, the largest exchange available is 20,000 POPs for $100, which after doing math equals out to about $2000 in rake for $100. It might not seem like much, but it is better than nothing. There are also special tournaments you can enter with just POPs.

Action Poker.com Bonuses and Promotions

See our ActionPoker Bonus page for details on clearing your bonus.

ActionPoker offers a 100% first deposit bonus, with a minimum of $10 up to a maximum of $2,500 (based on deposit limits), which is huge. Keep in mind, though, that you only have 45 days to clear any bonus, which you do by earning “POPs” (Player Option Points). You need to earn 14 POPs for every $1 of bonus (it used to be 12, so they've made the bonus harder to clear). You earn 1 POP for every $0.10 of rake that you pay and you do not earn points for pots where you do not personally contribute to the rake. You also earn 10 POPs for every $1 in entry fees paid for tournaments. Make sure you use the links on this page and enter the Action Poker Bonus Code FTR when creating your account.

Example:
If 5 people are playing at a No-Limit $10 Hold'Em table and each person contributes to the pot evenly and the total pot is $50, then each player would have contributed $10 to the pot. Rake is then calculated at 5% of this so each person would have put 50 cents into the rake. You earn 1 POP per 10 cents in the rake, so therefore your 50 cents into the rake would earn you 5 POP.

The other catch is that no partial bonuses are paid. If you deposit $2,500, you need to earn 35,000 POPs within 45 days to clear the bonus. Earn 34,999 and hit day 46, and you lose the whole of the bonus. So, although the upper limit on the match bonus can be very high (based on your deposit type), you have to carefully calculate a realistic estimate of how many points you will be able to earn within 45 days, otherwise you could lose it all. Considering the low level of traffic on the site if you deposit too much money clearing your bonus could be a struggle, if not impossible.

Action Poker also provides a bonus code for when a FTR player makes a second deposit. Enter FTR30 to earn an exclusive 30% reload bonus up to $500.

In addition to the fantastic deposit bonus, Action Poker has an attractive guaranteed tournament. Every Sunday at 6pm EST, Action Poker has their $3000 Guaranteed Tournament. Players can join this tournament for just $11+1.10. Action Poker also has their "Bad Beat Payout" promotion. If you lose with a Jack high flush or better, you qualify to receive up to $100 dollars back!
