Since leaving the US market, Paradise traffic has dropped dramatically, so games aren't as plentiful as they once were. It's still a good room for fish, but I prefer to play where the big action is - that seems to be Full Tilt or PS.

They hit my credit card for three deposits only added two payments to my acct. I got my bank to reverse the third payment. Paradise banned me and were very rude when I pointed out that they only deposited twice to my acct. They then demanded I provide paperwork to back up what I had said. All in all they are very poorly managed, not like other sites I have dealt with. PartyPoker, Poker4Ever, Absloute all get 9 and 1/2 thumbs up. Paradise get 1 kick in the back end.

It's fairly easy to use. Looking through the tournaments can get a bit annoynig sometimes, trying to find the type you are looking for. I've signed up for a couple rebuy's by accident, which I don't like playing. The Table interface is decent, although I prefer to see characters. Tournament action is fairly weak, but there are always people playing. During people hours you may have to wait a bit to get onto a table. I can't comment on customer support, luckily haven't had to deal with them yet. I have been playing for about a month, but I play an average of 12 hrs. a day. I know I have a lot to learn, but it is too easy to make money on this site. I have not made any money on another site, and while I seem to have gained a bit more ability, I now have $150 approx. which I made in the last 20 hrs. This is the first I've played .50 blinds and it is not much challenge. Just make sure to leave a table if you think it's real tight, or you aren't doing well. This site is full of maniacs. I haven't played much the past few days, and cleared 200 points with little problem today. I can't stress the need to switch tables if you feel the players are too experienced. good luck, hope my rambling review is a bit of help

My favorite room. The initial deposit bonus is great; I earned it very quickly even at $10 nl. The interface is pretty good, my lone complaint is that when you make a note about a player, it does not indicate so on the player's name. The games are easier here than at Party Poker, imo. Finding a good table has never been an issue.

Hmm,... I get a kick out of the losers who pan Paradise, alluding to "foul play" or what have you. I've played on Paradise for almost over two years now. Simply the best I've encountered. Ease of buying in with a credit card, great support when needed (which for me has only been for non-technical matters), good, fast graphics and loads of games. I've played on many other sites and Paradise is far superior. The ones I haven't played on are because it's such a royal pain in the posterior (not to mention expensive what with all the hidden costs) to actually open an account that I've given up trying. UB would be a great example. Until one comes along that has all that Paradise has, I don't think I'll switch again. Tried it a while ago and had naught but grief.

Paradise Poker is the best site out there. One of the main attractions for me is that they offer the widest variety of games. You can choose from no limit games everywhere between a $2 max buy-in to $500. Their limit games range from $.02/.04 to $40/80. They also have 7-stud, Omaha, blackjack, draw poker, 5-stud, Pineapple, Hi Lo, 1-on-1 tournaments, mini-tourneys, etc. For the price variability, the ease of the interface, and poor players abound, PP is the nuts.

Solid choice to play at, definitely worth playing to earn the bonus. Easy $100. Paradise should be included into your list of poker rooms. I've been a member for a few years here, and although I play at half a dozen other rooms, I often go back to visit Paradise if I get a reload bonus or something. I still prefer keeping most of my action at Party Poker, you can't beat the player base and number of tables for cash games.

U have got tobe kidding me, after reading the reviews on paradise i could'nt stop laughing. I would to hear these players comments in a few months from now. I will give everyone a heads up on the site. If u like bad beats you have come to best place bar none. I know alot of players that have played here including myself and we will never put another penny into it. Its the worst [believe me] If you dont go all in with 10 2 or 7 4 for ex. and you will win more times than not,yes its that bad. No disconnects LOL its bad for it. I really wonder who actually wrote these reviews.I kind of expect some foul play here. I can't wait to tell my player buddies, it will be good for a laugh or too. U HAVE BEEN WARNED

I have tried bodog, empire, pacific, and now paradise in that order and have been very impressed w/ paradise. the cards are true, they even have there shuffling reviewed by J.D. Power & Associates, which gives out quarterly reports confirming their validity. The interface is very solid, disconnects are non-existent. It is full of fish, even though they are tight fish. just play looser than usual and you'll be fine. I can't tell you how many ppl even at the 50 and 100 nl tables are playing k4 offsuit in early position! Its great. Honestly, this is the first place I have played at where I am not nervous. I feel truely comfortable at these tables, anytime. I strongly urge all to give it a shot, what've you got to lose?

Site is one of the best I have found. I play mostly 1-2 limit and 10-50 limit tourneys. Find some players will call everything and beat you every now and then but in the end the best player seems to walk with the money. Highly recommended.

Paradise Poker has many great benefits. First off, the interface is my favorite of any site. I like the anonymity of not having icons and being able to order drinks/food instead. There are a decent number of fish in any given room, and always plenty of tables with an empty seat or two at any level. Their support is great, and with a 50% bonus, this site is hard to beat. Also, one of beats listed below has been corrected. The fold/check/bet buttons appear before your turn now. Highly recommended.

This is one of the better sites I have played on. The NL Hold em miney tournaments is where I do most of my gaming, and you can always find a game no matter what the buy in. The rake isnt rediculouse like Party poker, and nither are the amount of bad beats,(even though it has its fair share like poker any where in the world). Theres also a pretty good mix of good and bad players, but I do find more fish early in the mornings pacific standard time. Another cool thing about the site is that it offers non traditional and classic games like Pinapple, 5 stud, and draw poker. Over all thumbs up to Paradise Poker.

The interface at Paradise is kind of unique. They have cool features like the ability to order drinks. One thing I don't like is the way the Raise/Call/Fold buttons fail to appear until it is your turn. The action is pretty good. It isn't as busy as Party but then again who is? The Customer Support seems fine, they claim to answer emails very quickly, but couldn't find a phone number. The Ease of Game/Fish is excellent. I ran into some really bad players there. The bonus is great too, it comes out fairly quickly and it is easy to monitor.
