Nuts (Cool):

Fair Poker has a great software and interface as its part of the iPoker network. Also because of this, it has a lot of traffic with over 20,000 players connected at peak hours. Wide variety of games with action at all of them. Lots of cash games throughout all limits being ran.

Beats (Suck):

No US players are allowed to play at Fair Poker. Bonus is a pretty long grind and can take quite a while to play at lower stakes. MTTs aren't as popular on Fair Poker as other online poker rooms.


is a skin of the iPoker network, meaning they share the same tables as Noble Poker, Diamond Club Poker, CDpoker and others (full list of iPoker rooms supported by FTR can be found in iPoker's network page). Unfortunately, they do not accept US players since the UIGEA.

Fair Poker offers a wide variety of games including Texas Hold-Em (limit, pot limit, no limit), Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo (limit, pot limit), and 7 Card/5 Card Stud. The amount of people playing is a lot, so you should always be able to find a game for your bankroll. There are usually thousands of tables from micro limits all the way up to $50 - $100 running 24/7. Also, if you're looking at trying Omaha or Stud, you will be able to find a few tables. This is nice since many rooms offer these games but hardly ever have them running. They offer different casino style games - in case you want to take a break. They offer video poker and blackjack. You play and win real money on these games. They offer a nice break after you've taken a bad beat or need to kill a couple of minutes.

Tournaments at Fair Poker are pretty popular, but don't compare to online giants like PokerStars or Full Tilt. Still for an Euro site you will be able to find a nice selection. Their most popular guaranteed tournaments are their weekly $33 ($10,000 gtd), $55 ($15,000 gtd), $109 ($25,000 gtd), and their monthly Sunday $215 ($100,000 gtd), which runs on the first Sunday of the month. If those are too big for your bankroll, they also offer a wide variety of $1 - $22 every single day which usually host about 300 - 1000 players. They also have satellites for their larger tournaments running constantly. Sit & Gos are quite popular as well, and their buy-ins range from $.10 up to $1000. You will find hundreds running at all times, mainly in the $11 - $55 levels. They offer 10 max, 6 max, heads up, turbos, super turbos, and jackpots. The jackpots have a higher rake, but if you win 6 consecutive you will win the jackpot ($50,000!).

Fair Poker has a VIP program for loyal players, but currently there isn't much you can earn. By playing cash and tournaments, you collect coins based on the rake. You can earn 1 points per hand up to 11 depending on your VIP level and rake, and 20 coins per $1 in tournament fees up to 30 per $1. The higher your VIP level, the more coins you earn, but what can you do with the points? Basically nothing... You do earn bonuses faster, but that's pretty much it. Their website reads "Gold and Platinum players will be eligible for extended benefits which will be announced in due course," so we will see if they will add any additional benefits in the future.

's software has a great, realistic interface. The site provides a top down, "birds eye view" of the game. You can also switch to a side view of the game. The characters are nicely drawn, but aren't animated. The characters use real voices when making a move. You vocally hear "Check, Call, Bet, Raise, Fold, "I'm all in." The sound of chips clanking occurs when someone bets/raises. The sounds can all be turned off if you want (which I prefer!) The chat bar is on the side; I like this as it is easy to read the conversations, but doesn't distract from the game. The text is in a small black font; player conversations are in a larger, green font. You can also choose to have no chat, or a small chat room integrated within the table.

The software at Fair Poker has come a long way, and now has many features it once lacked. For example, when it first launched you could only play 3 tables at once and were tabbed in the lobby (now a max of 8), there were no hand histories (now you can save them onto your computer), and the list goes on. The lobby has also improved drastically, and is very well organized. You can select which game you want to play on the left side in a tabbed menu, then located which table you want to play at. Tournaments have their own lobby, but you can't move them around. They are stationary inside of the actual lobby, which can be annoying.

Fair Poker offers 10 max full ring, 6 max shorthanded, or heads up cash tables throughout the limits. While playing, there are many things that can be adjusted. You can disable avatars, use a 4 color deck, enable "mini view" which makes the table much smaller, or even use full screen mode (yuck). There is even a warning built in for unusual bets, like if you were to take a $1 bet and raise it up to $500 they would confirm you really want to do that. Overall the games had a nice speed, and I prefer the fast tables as you get more hands per hour in.


There is A LOT of traffic and action at Fair Poker. During peak hours, you can see 25,000+ users connected, mainly playing no-limit hold'em cash games. There are hundreds of micro, mid, and even high stakes running at once. Even during their slower hours, you will still see a constant of 5,000+ players connected, which is very nice player base. Because they are on the iPoker network you will play with people on other skins, which really helps the traffic. Unfortunately, they can not accept US players because of iPoker's policy since the UIGEA. At first this really limited their traffic, but since have really targeting European countries and have made iPoker one of the largest non-US sites online today.


The customer support at Fair Poker is great. Even at 3am, they have online chat support there waiting to help you. Additionally, they have toll free phone numbers and dedicated email support.

24 Hours Live Online Support - 365 Days A Year. There is constant attention paid to ensure that a fast response is provided to any enquiries.


I have found that at both the limit and no limit tables that there are a lot of people who chase. However, playing a solid game of poker will prevail as there are numerous fish on the site. Many fish win the freeroll and then proceed to lose the money quickly in the ring games. While it's not as fish crazy as PartyPoker, you will find a nice balance of players.

There is a bad beat bonus if you lose with KKKK or better. If you do take a bad beat, I suggest playing a couple of games of blackjack or video poker. I really enjoy that aspect of the site.


The promotions show that is truly "player focused". By signing up through Flop Turn River, you will be given a 50% up to $500 bonus on your initial deposit! Make sure you use the Fair Poker Bonus Code ftr when making your deposit to qualify. This bonus isn't the best for low stake players as you need at least $1000 to cap it off and is earned rather slowly.

You need to collect coins by paying rake or tournament fees. For cash games, when the rake is $.25 - $.50 you will earn 1 coin, $.51 - $1.00 2 coins, $1.01 - $1.50 4 coins, $1.51 - $2.00 6 coins, $2.01+ 8 coins. You can also earn coins faster by increasing your VIP level. If you play tournaments, every $1 in fees nets you 20 coins (up to 30 for increasing your VIP level). For every 500 coins you earn, you collect $10 of your bonus. So for the full $500, you have to collect 25,000 coins. As you can see, this is quite a lot and if you play less than 100nl this will take you a long, long time. So if your bankroll isn't very large, put this one on hold for a bit!

 “Fair Poker OK” by friver, 20 May 2007

Interface:  3/5   Action:  2/5   Support:  1/5   Fish:  3/5   Bonus:  3/5

I came from Full Tilt and tried Fair Poker, I wasn't impressed, the room didn't have a whole lot of action during off times (when I tend to play). Low stakes is ok, but mid and higher is lacking. Interface is pretty good. Withdrawing is a bit of a hassle, I ran into some questions and support wasn't that great, and last time I checked, you could only multi-table 3 tables at a time. I think it's a pretty good site for low-stakes, beginner level players.



 “A good poker room” by laydownscally, 03 Nov 2006

Interface:  5/5   Action:  3/5   Support:  5/5   Fish:  4/5   Bonus:  5/5

I really like Fair Poker.I was introduced to it by a friend and found the site reall nice.They have a lot of good tournaments which dont have as many players in them like the big sites, so the value is a lot bigger. Its so easy to get around and the live support was really fantastic.Their bonus is really good up to $500 and it has taken me just 2 weks of playing a few hours a day to get nearly all of the $200 I am expecting.They give you $10 automatically when you get to 500 Coins ( much better then Titan which is 1000 Points ) They send out a reload bonus deal once a month and I just got a mail inviting me to two freerolls next week... I really recomend Fair Poker



 “Fair's good” by simonitis, 15 Sep 2006

Interface:  5/5   Action:  5/5   Support:  5/5   Fish:  5/5   Bonus:  5/5

Just cleared my fist $200 bonus at Fair and it was really easy getting all the coins.I played $1/$2 and some sit'n gos as well and it was great.Also just got an email offerring me a 50 % reload bonus so I am taking that up as well. It's a good site with everything you need.I see they have just changed the lobby which makes it easier to see whats going on and their mini tables are amazing. I think i'm going to hang around their for a while...

Interface:  5/5   Action:  5/5   Support:  3/5   Fish:  5/5   Bonus:  5/5

Easiest to clear bonus around, loads of micro limit tables. Multi table tiling in new upgrade is fantastic. Their support is ok'ish but I hate their WD policies. Otherwise not a bad place cos there are fish a-plenty here.



 “Good room” by micky, 05 Oct 2005

Interface:  4/5   Action:  4/5   Support:  5/5   Fish:  4/5   Bonus:  5/5

I really enjoy playing at this room.They just went through an upgrade so its now quicker to get to the cashier,the games are faster and you can play 3 screens at once.Multi tabling is tiled if you change your settings. The graphics are still good even though they have got rid of the 3D top view . Promotions are excellent and I just got half my deposit back through their WIN/WIN scheme...this really is the best promotion in poker and it shows in the numbers of people playing there now which is getting bigger and bigger all the time



 “Fair Poker is one for me” by wacky, 28 Aug 2005

Interface:  5/5   Action:  4/5   Support:  5/5   Fish:  5/5   Bonus:  5/5

I have been playing at Fairpoker for a few months now, and in general I am very satisfied with them. I see it as a possitive thing that it's not filled up with players... the less players, the less "sharks"..but it is growing very fast. Their support is one of the better i have seen so far, they answer you within just a few seconds as they have a live chat service 24/7 They are also good at offering bonuses and always send invitations to their free rolls. I love their sit’n’go games because they are quick and last up to a maximum of 40 minutes but you can also play normal tournaments which run through the day and night so you can always get a game In the beginning i had some trouble withdrawing money, but it helped a lot to do it by Neteller instead.After playing at quite a few poker sites over the past 2 years ,I think I will stay at Fair Poker now.

Interface:  5/5   Action:  3/5   Support:  4/5   Fish:  5/5   Bonus:  5/5

I would say that Fair Poker has the best interface in online poker. Colours are good and crisp graphics make it easy to sit in front of for hours.I also like the fact that there are not thousands of players and that things are not so pressured.There are loads of fish and many new beginers all the time as most come from their casino sites...I like to have a chance and not be up against it all the time like at Paradise.Their support is ok and they also give you loads of addresses for their managers so you can talk dierctly to the guys who actually run the room.Multi-tabling doesn't interest me but I hear they will be introducing tiled multi- screen tabling pretty soon.They have removed the casino games and apparantly things will speed up considerably.I agree their promotions are awesome and I get offerred something new every weekend. This is a good solid site and well worth a visit.I have also played at Pokerroom ,Paradise,interpoker and more recently ay Party just to see what the fuss is about and I always come back to Fair Poker !



 “No good” by Ben, 15 Jul 2005

Interface:  1/5   Action:  2/5   Support:  1/5   Fish:  1/5   Bonus:  1/5

I did not like this site at all



 “What a horrible site” by JR, 15 Jul 2005

Interface:  2/5   Action:  1/5   Support:  1/5   Fish:  3/5   Bonus:  2/5

I have played at this site a few times, because I received free money to test it. I am very unhappy with the site and with my last experience I know that something is not right. This is what happened: I was waiting for a Freeroll to open up for registration. It said it would start at 1am but at 1:10 am it had still not opened up. I was literally staring at the screen (yes I really wanted to play), went out to get a cup of coffee and when I came back...500 players had signed up within 1 MINUTE!. There were a total of 520 players online so in other words..ALL of them decided to sign up within that minute. Judge for yourself, but I will never vist this site again.



 “FAIR POKER - SOLID” by RUN HARD, 12 Jul 2005

Interface:  5/5   Action:  2/5   Support:  4/5   Fish:  4/5   Bonus:  4/5

Ecellent interface...very few stroong players. Guaranteed tourneys are nice because of lack of players. Only complaint is having to contact Support to find out raked hands towards deposit bonus.



 “Fair Poker Review” by Frank, 07 Jul 2005

Interface:  3/5   Action:  1/5   Support:  3/5   Fish:  3/5   Bonus:  3/5

It's not bad... graphics are quite nice, but the room and network is still pretty new, so traffic and players are lacking. This can be good for guaranteed tournaments, but bad for the grinding ring player. It's worth checking out for the bonus, most poker rooms are, and I'll come back for tournaments, but my ring game is going back to Empire.



 “Fair Poker - Awesome” by bencathers, 06 Jul 2005

Interface:  5/5   Action:  4/5   Support:  4/5   Fish:  4/5   Bonus:  5/5

They have a killer promotion - bust out, and you still get money to try again. The 3d interface is fantastic and realistic. Plenty of fish and best of all, the penny omaha 10 player game is a blast (if you are coming off a losing session) where the pots are not even that bad. Best are the tournaments. 1500 guarantee tournaments for 15 bucks with 40 people - this site is a steal!

Interface:  3/5   Action:  1/5   Support:  3/5   Fish:  3/5   Bonus:  4/5

Fair Poker has a nice interface, the top down, "birds eye view" of the game is cool. There isn't much action in this room yet. The technical support is solid. There are some poor players in the freerolls. The bonus is cool.
