Mansion Poker.com Overview

began in 2006 starting first as its own network, then merged with Ongame, and finally became part of iPoker. Joining the iPoker network has been great for increasing Mansion’s traffic as the combined network also includes famous rooms like Titan Poker, VCPoker and many others. The amassed online player base of iPoker now ranks third, behind PokerStars and Full Tilt. Like the other iPoker sites however, Mansion unfortunately does not accept U.S. players.

There are several games on offer at Mansion Poker. If you want to play for some cash, you'll find Hold'em (Limit, No-limit, and Pot-limit), Omaha (Limit, Pot-limit, Limit Hi/Lo, and Pot-limit Hi/Lo), 7 Card Stud and 5 Card Stud. There are full ring tables (10-max), shorthanded tables (6-max), and Heads-up tables (2-max) for you to choose from. You'll find No-limit tables as low as $0.01/$0.02 and as high as $200/$400, and the Limit tables go as high as $300/$600. As expected, most people on Mansion play No-limit Hold'em, but with up to 20,000+ players spread over 1500 tables of poker, you should be able to find an alternate game of choice. It will sometimes be difficult to find high stakes games other than Hold'em, but when playing at peak hours it can certainly be done. For example, it’s not unusual to find a short handed game of Pot Limit Omaha going on at $50/$100 with average pots of over $2,500.

If you're interested in tournaments you have plenty to choose from at Mansion Poker. They offer a large variety of scheduled tournaments and many of them have impressive guarantees. There is a slew of guaranteed tournaments each month, including the $40,000 GP High Roller Monday. There are freeze-outs, rebuys (you can rebuy if you bust in the first hour of play), double stacks (you get double the usual starting stack), speed rebuys (the blinds increase faster than usual) and many more. There are also satellites, freerolls, and tournaments with Mansion Club Points as buy-ins (Mansion Club Points are explained later in this review). Scheduled tournaments are offered for all varieties of Hold'em, Omaha, and Stud.

Where Sit & Gos are concerned, Mansion Poker has both regular ones and satellites. They’ve also just added four Sit & Go tournaments with a top jackpot of $50,000! You can play some really small buy-in Sit & Goes, as low as $0.10+$0.02! The small and middle buy-ins have plenty of traffic and they fill very quickly. Buy-ins as high as $1000+$50 are offered but the very highest buy-ins are slower to fill, so you could be waiting a while to play in one. As an example, the ratio of active $200+$25 Sit & Gos to live $500+$30 Sit & Goes is about 3 to 1. If you wish to play some Stud Sit & Gos, you will have to go elsewhere as Mansion only offers them in Hold'em and Omaha.

Mansion Poker.com Software Interface/Usability

It doesn't take long to get used to 's lobby, which is easy on the eyes and well organized. You choose your game on the left hand side and then the options for your chosen game appear in the main part of the lobby. If you select 'Cash Tables', you can sort through the games and organize them by Room Name, Stakes, number of players (tabbed as ‘Plrs’), average pot size (‘Av. Pot’), percentage of players that see the flop (‘P/F’), number of hands per hour (‘H/hr’), or number of players on the waiting list (‘Wait’). There is an option to hide full tables and an option to filter the tables. For example, you can choose to see tables at stakes between $1 and $20 with 6 players only. Highlighting a given table will show you its players on the right side of the lobby and a neat little feature adds up the total stacks of all the players to let you know how much money sits on the table. You can also see the players waiting at any given table if you want to find or avoid someone you know.

Selecting another game type gives you similar options but different ways to sort your tables. Tournaments can be sorted according to Name, Type, Buy-in, Start Time, Plrs, and Status. Highlighting a given tournament will show its details on the right side of the lobby including the status of the tournament, its description, the starting time, buy-in, maximum players, and number of players already registered. On the old Mansion Poker software the tournament lobby could only be opened in the main lobby and if you wanted more information you had to open a web browser. This is no longer the case and instead each tournament has its own windowed lobby that opens separate from the main lobby. This is very nice as it makes it easy to see the prize pools, payouts and participants for each tournament.

When you select a table at Mansion Poker and open it up, you'll see that each player has a built-in avatar. If you don't like the way this looks you can turn it off by pressing the OPTIONS button and deselecting 'show avatars' under GAME SETTINGS. There are many other options to choose from such as viewing hand strength, table chat, 4 color deck, and many more. You can even change the volume for the sounds at your table. Mansion does not have resizable tables but you can choose to have mini tables instead. If you select mini tables you will not be able to use avatars, and you also can't see the action in the chat box. In our opinion the full-sized tables are way too big and the mini-tables are way too small. Hopefully, they will come out with resizable tables soon.

The MansionPoker client is currently available in a few different languages: English, Deutsch (German), Español (Spanish), and Svenska (Swedish). You can install their software in any of those languages and they plan on adding more in the very near future.

Once you've chosen your seat and you're ready to play some poker, the tables are pretty easy to navigate. With the old Ongame software that Mansion offered a player had to sit out a hand if they wanted to reload chips at any given time. Moving to iPoker software has changed this and now you are able to top off your stack without sitting out by simply clicking the 'GET MORE CHIPS' button at the bottom of the window. A somewhat confusing feature is the instant hand histories. You can see the last hand instantly by clicking 'Last hand' in the upper left corner of the window, but the hand history is in a very strange format that lists each player and their actions and places them in columns sorted by street. All iPoker sites do this for their hand histories and it can be annoying if you're used to more traditional instant hand history.

Mansion Poker Referral Code Bonuses and Promotions

offers an increased first deposit bonus of 125% up to $550! This bonus is exclusive to FTR members only! Just make sure you sign up through the links on this page and use the Mansion Poker bonus code FTR1 when creating your account to get this great bonus. This free $550 can be yours, but in order to release it you need to earn Mansion Club Points (MCPs) while playing at the real money tables. For every 1,000 MCPs you collect, you will earn $10 of your bonus! You earn partial points for smaller rakes, so this bonus is decent for smaller stakes players.

You can receive MCPs in both cash games and tournament games. The number of MCPs received per hand in cash games depends on how much the pot was raked. Here's a chart that shows how many points each player receives per raked hand:

Rake Range - MCPs received
$0.01 to $0.09 - 0.2
$0.10 to $0.24 - 0.6
$0.25 to $0.50 - 1.25
$0.51 to $0.75 - 2
$0.76 to $1.00 - 3
$1.01 to $1.25 - 3.75
$1.26 to $1.50 - 4.5
$1.51 to $1.75 - 5.5
$1.76 to $2.00 - 6.25
$2.01 to $2.25 - 7
$2.26 to $2.50 - 8
$2.51 to $2.75 - 9
$2.76 to $3.00 - 10
$3.01 to $5.00 - 13

If you play tournaments, you will receive 20 points for every $1.00 spent in tournament fees.

This is an awesome bonus, and you need to collect a total of 55,000 MCPs to clear the whole thing. For smaller stakes this is a pretty decent grind and one of the better bonuses for players with a smaller bankroll. Of course, if you can play 100nl or above, you should clear this in a breeze.

To go along with those points, MansionPoker also has a great loyalty program called Club Mansion. Club Mansion is Mansion Poker's very own exclusive VIP program. Unlike other VIP programs that start automatically start players at the lowest rank, entry into Club Mansion must be earned. Once you reach 2,000 MCPs you begin climbing up the Mansion Club rankings ladder. Earning the required minimum amount of MCPs for each level will increase your status, which will also give you a bonus boost in your points. This means that the more points you earn the bigger your boost and the bigger your MCP total at the end of it all. Here is a chart that shows a list of the status rankings that you can obtain and the points required getting there:

Status - Points Required - Boost
Club Member - 2,000 - 50%
Pro Member - 8,000 - 150%
Elite Member - 20,000 - 250%
Platinum Member - 50,000 - 400%
Diamond Club 1 - 100,000 - 450%
Diamond Club 2 - 200,000 - 500%
Diamond Club 3 - 600,000 - 550%

Reaching higher ranks equates to additional benefits. For example, the first time you reach Club Member status, you are invited to a Welcome Freeroll. You're also granted access to the Loyalty Shop. Once you reach Pro Member status, you are eligible for Level Specific Gifts, which continues all the way up to Diamond Club 3!

Mansion also has a loyalty scheme built in to give their players great incentive for keeping their VIP status, and not falling back. If you keep your VIP status for a consecutive 3 month period, you will be given a hefty additional point bonus! Keep it for a solid 6 months, and the bonus will be even bigger!

There are many things to spend your MCPs on. In the Loyalty Shop, you can buy digital picture frames, T-shirts, iPods, watches, books, a 5-night trip to Vegas, and many other items. If you don't want a material object you can spend your MCPs on seats to live events or online tournaments. If you like cash bonuses you can trade your MCPs in for those as well. 32,000,000 MCPs will land you a $100,000 cash bonus.

Mansion is a nice card room. They have less traffic with the US players leaving, but it's still pretty decent with a great $1,000 initial deposit bonus, but they also have a 2nd deposit bonus and a 3rd deposit bonus! Have not used those other ones yet. Decent interface, decent action, did not need support yet, quite fishy! and good promotions!

I accepted a promotional offer here at Mansion. This offer was sent to me via e-mail. Despite numerous conversations with online support over the past 6 days to receive the $20.00, no resolve has been reached. In fact, I was told that the response to this offer was so overwhelming that they were behind in fulfilling the offer. I have visited this site numerous times this week and quite frankly didn't find it that busy. I hesitate to deposit my money with a site that isn't capable of tracking $20.00. Sidebar to this story is that they advertise fun money games and credited my account with $1,000.00 play money, however, there are no games. Therefore...at the end of the day....I have $1,000.00 in play money.

Good software, good interface and a great bonus! Not a lot of action in the Poker room but they have great value in the $100K A Day guaranteed tournaments. There are only about 500 (buy-in $100) so there is $50K in overlays everyday - that is superb value! The Casino is the better product as it's unique and has all the games you need.

I very much enjoyed their Poker Dome Freerolls, when they were happening 4 times a day and the top 6 out of 600 got to play in a weekly tourney to go to Vegas. Seemed liked the best free roll on the net. But now it has an almost impossible free roll now and so I've moved to the sit-and-go's and the table games. They seemed to have error in my favor $107 and I've been playing on that for over 3 months, so I really can't knock them too hard. Tonight I won over $100 in two sit-go's and an hour at the .05/.10 NL table. Now comes the time I say why I am looking them up on goggle, I can't seem to get any money from them. I am trying to withdrawl and I can't seem to find a method at all to get it. So now I'm a bit mad, their phone doesn't work. Thier e-mail doesn't work. It shows a box to select my withdrawl method but no options available. So I'll try the live chat help, seems like a good idea. Overall I like it there and I'm making money...getting that money in my hand is my only problem so far...
