Poker Time.com Review
It is important to note that although accepts US players, they do not allow all 50 states to play. I requested a list of states they allow to play, however they said they were unable to supply me with one. I suggest you e-mail Poker Time support (address below) prior to making your account to see if you are restricted.
PokerTime is a part of the Prima network. It is a skin shared with many other poker sites, so expect a lot of traffic. During the afternoon on a weekday there were over 20,000 people connected. With this traffic, you will find a nice variety of games to choose from; limit, pot-limit, and no-limit Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, 5 Card Stud, and 5 Card Draw. As with every other poker site you will see a majority of the player’s playing no-limit Hold’em, however there were a decent amount of tables going for the other games. The stakes for these games range from $.05 - $.10 up to $200 - $400. One great thing to note for all players is that every stake had many tables running. So whether you are a micro-grinder or a high roller, you will be able to find a game on Poker Time.
They also offer a wide variety of limit and type for tournament players. The types of Sit and Go tournaments are; Single table (5, 6 or 10 players), Multi table (up to 4 tables), Heads up, Rounders (which are like shootouts), and Extreme Stack (deep stacked). You can play for as little as $1 up to $1050, with all stakes having games running.
Poker Time’s Multi-Table Tournaments are quite popular as well. Everyday, PokerTime has two daily $15,000 ($22 buyin) guaranteed, one $40,000 ($27 buyin) guaranteed and other various freezeouts ranging from $1 up to $350. They also have a weekly $200,000 guaranteed ($55 buyin). The also offer various special guaranteed tournaments depending on the month. For example, in March they increased the monthly guaranteed tournament to $400,000 and added four $100,000 guaranteed prize pools throughout the month. They are always offering new and exciting promotions. PokerTime also offers a variety of daily $250 - $1000 freerolls, both of which get 10,000 or more players.
PokerTime offers many different means of depositing; Visa/Mastercard, Diners Club International, Solo Debit, EcoCard, Click2Pay, Neteller, eCheck, EZIPay, Instadebit, UseMyBank, MoneyBookers, FirePay, Bank Wire.
Please note that some of these methods are not available to US players. I contacted their support asking which method they recommend for US players and they recommended that all US players use “EcoCard.” Details about EcoCard can be found at their website, http://www.ecocard.com.
PokerTime Lobby
PokerTime Texas Hold'em Table

Poker Time.com Software Interface/Usability
The lobby for Poker Time is the same as any other skins of the Prima Network. In my experience, Prima took a while to get use to as everything seemed crammed and unorganized, but after a few sessions it’s easy to adjust. You can easily select which type, game, and limit you wish to play. They even have a Quick Start option to bring you to an open table of your choice, however this isn’t recommended if you like to practice good game selection.
Along with the lobby, I found it hard to adjust to the different style of table at . Play seemed faster than other sites and they do not have a time bank for decisions. Once again, after awhile you will get use to the difference. The tables have a lot of different options you can customize such as the table size, game markers (displays how much money was in the pot on every street), color decks, and seating preference which puts you in a certain seat at every table (great for multi-tabling!).
You can store Hand Histories on your computer, which is necessary to be able to use programs like Poker Tracker. The few things I did not like about their hand histories were you can not instantly look at previous hands like you can at other poker sites. You have to request the last number and it will save them in a txt file. This is highly inconvenient. Also, you can not see other player’s mucked cards if it goes to showdown as you can on other online poker sites.

PokerTime.com Poker Room Action
There is always action on being a part of one of the largest networks out there today. There is an average of 20,000 players connected in the afternoons on weekdays, and at peak hours (evenings in EST), you can see more than 35,000 at once.
All the players are spread over almost every limit they have to offer, so regardless of your bankroll you should be able to find a game that is right for you. Most are playing Hold’em, however I did see a larger than average number on this site playing other games such as Omaha, and Stud.

Poker Time.com Customer and Technical Support
has one of the best support desks I have dealt with. They have many different options to choose from to contact them; Live chat, telephone, or e-mail are the most popular. I had sent them a few e-mails with questions and they were all answered within a one hour time frame. I also had tried out their live chat and was connected in minutes to a representative to assist me. Contact information is below:
E-mail: support@pokertime.com

Poker Time's Ease of Game, Ease of Making Money, Fish Rating
With an average of 20,000 people connected, expect to see the fish swimming! At the micro/low stake level there were more bad players than average. If you practice even the most basic strategies you will be a winner at Poker Time. I did notice the higher stakes to be tough, but that is expected.

PokerTime Promotion Code & Bonus
offers some great bonuses for you to take advantage of. First off, you can get $10 absolutely free! That's right, PokerTime will give you a $10 free no deposit poker bonus just for signing up to try their site! (If you play in a currency other than $USD, you can also receive £5 or €7 free). In order to claim this bonus you must be a new account, and click on any of the links on this page. After you download and register a new account, visit the PokerTime website and click "Claim your $10" on the homepage. You will be prompted to enter your account number and just like that you will have $10 free in your account! Don't think you will just be able to withdraw the $10 and run away though, prior to any withdrawal you have to earn 50 Poker Points ONLY on the exclusive poker tables (the ones in green in the lobby). Once you do that, you can do anything you want with the money. Also, if you have no activity in your account for 7 days, PokerTime will remove the $10, so stay active!
Already completed the $10 free and are looking for more free money? Well, in addition to the no deposit bonus, PokerTime will give all of its players up to $500 free in reloads! This is unique and acts kind of like a step bonus, you have to earn one before the other. This bonus is automatically given to you if you click through any of the
FTR links, no Promotion Code is necessary. I say this is unique because it is a match bonus, plus two reloads instead of one just flat bonus. This is a much better upgrade from their last bonus, which was 100% up to $200. Here is how it is earned:
All new players will receive the following:
* Up to $100 Free with a 50% Match Bonus*
* Up to $200 Free with a 100% Reload Bonus*
* Up to $200 Free with a 200% Reload Bonus*
- The ‘’50% deposit match up to $100 free’’ bonus will be allocated once you accumulate 7 Poker Points per Dollar from the date of your first deposit.
- The ‘’100% reload bonus up to $200 free’’ bonus will be allocated once you accumulate 6 Poker Points per Dollar from the date of your next deposit after completing the requirements for the ‘’50% deposit match up to $100’’.
- The ‘’200% reload bonus up to $200 free’’ bonus will be allocated once you accumulate 5 Poker Points per Dollar from the date of your next deposit after completing the requirements for the ‘’100% reload bonus up to $200’’.
So basically, it is like a step bonus. Once you earn one, you can then earn the second, then the third. And the best part about it is the amount is higher each time, and it is easier to earn every new level! So to add everything up, here is what you will have to do if you max out the $500 bonus; $100 @ 7 Poker Points = 700 Points + $200 @ 6 Poker Points = 1200 Points + $200 @ 5 Poker Points = 1000 Points for a total of 2900 Points. (Just like the no deposit bonus, the $500 free is also available in £500 and €500).This actually isn't very bad for a $500 bonus, and here is how Player Points are earned:
Player Points are earned if the player receives cards and the rake was at least $.25. Depending on the stake you play, you will earn a different amount per raked hand. For example at $.10 no-limit, you will earn .05 points per raked hand and at $2 no-limit you earn .4 points per hand. (Their website lists a complete chart). You also receive 2.5 points for every $1 in tournament fees paid.
This bonus is cleared much easier at higher limits, and can be a grind for micro-limit players. For example, if you play $.25 - $.50 no-limit, about every 6.5 raked hands will give you 1 point so about 19,000 raked hands will clear this bonus. I would not recommend this bonus unless you have the bankroll to at least play 50nl, because at anything lower it would take double the hands. It is clearable at 50nl, but would be easier at 100nl and above. For you tournament players, it would take $1160 in fees before it is cleared. You have 60 days to clear each level, or the bonus expires.
Poker Time also offer various promotions for returning and dedicated players depending on the month. As stated earlier, they offer various special multi-table tournaments. Also, they are currently running a Player Point race paying out $25,000 to the top 200 people who earn the most points over a given time period. As their promotions are always changing, please check the PokerTime website for more details.
