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. |

Fair Poker.com Review
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.

Fair Poker Software Interface/Usability
'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.

Fair Poker.com Poker Room Action
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.

Fair Poker.com Ease of Game, Ease of Making Money, Fish Rating
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.

Fair Poker.com Bonuses and Promotions
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!
