Prime Poker.com Review
is a part of the OnGame Poker network. It is important to note that due to the legislation in the United States they currently do NOT accept US customers.
However, if you reside outside of the United States, you can play on one of the more popular poker networks today. The most popular times at Prime Poker are evenings and weekends in GMT where there can be up to 20,000 players connected at once.
At Prime Poker, you will find the following games; limit, pot-limit, and no-limit Hold’em, Omaha, and Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo, and limit, pot-limit 5 Card Draw. Most players are playing no-limit Hold’em, spread across every limit. One thing to note is that there is an above average amount of players playing games other than Hold’em (Omaha, Stud, and Draw). This is largely due to the fact that there is a lot of traffic and a very large player base.
If you are primarily a cash game player, Prime Poker will have a game for you. There is almost always 1000+ active tables (sometimes much more during peak hours), with almost 20+ tables for every limit. Although high stakes ($5 - $10 and higher) aren’t as popular, there is still usually 5-10 active tables.
Sit & Gos at Prime Poker get just as much traffic as their ring games, sometimes more. For as little as $1.20, or as high as $525 there will be people to compete with. I noticed that most games running are $50 + $4 and below, with a few $100+ games for the high rollers. There is a wide variety of SnG games offered at Prime Poker, anything from full tabled/shorthanded regular and turbos, heads up, special qualifiers/satellites, MAD Tilt, and King of the Hill. Most people are playing in the standard and turbo tournaments for every limit, but I did notice some of the more interesting games running, such as MAD Tilt All-in. By registering for a MAD Tilt tournament, you start with 60 chips and the blinds are at 10/20 (increasing every 3 minutes), winner take all! I have never seen such a unique (and luck based) tournament offered before. You can buyin for a little as $2.20 to let off some steam! Another unique structure offered is the King of the Hill tournaments. You need to win a seat from the “feeders”, into the “Step” tournaments. Once in the Step levels, you must make your way and win the 3rd level to advance to the finals. Whoever finished 1st in the finals scores $2500! (Basically, you need to win 3-6 tournaments in a row, with buyins ranging from $1 to $25.)
Multi-Table Tournaments at Prime Poker are also quite popular. Throughout the day, they offer various guaranteed tournaments ranging from $2000 ($10 + $1 buyin) up to $25,000 ($30 + $3 rebuy). These tournaments almost always exceed the expected prize pool, and usually host around 200-1000 entries. Also, there are many other MTTs offered throughout the week, with buyins as low as $1 up to $300. Their big Sunday tournament, which they call the “Big Deal” has a prize pool of $75,000 and a buyin of $300 + $20 – with satellites always running. This is fairly small compared to most other Sunday tournaments today. Freerolls are quite rare, with only a few offered during the week with $100 added. (There is a tournament schedule listed on their website if you are curious in viewing all upcoming tournaments.)
While playing real money games at Prime Poker, you will earn Prime Poker Points. Currently, these points are only used for collecting various bonuses, qualifying for special tournaments or claiming free roll tournament cash prizes. You earn these points by contributing to the rake at a cash table or by paying tournament fees (.1 Points for ever $.10 in rake or 5 Points per $1 in fees). It is important to note that these points expire every six months after they are earned, so make sure you are spending them before they are gone. Currently, the points are pretty much worthless with there not being much to spend them on other than an occasional freeroll; but it makes it easier to track bonuses.
If you wish to deposit funds on , they offer the following methods; Visa/Mastercard, Neteller, WebMoney, FirePay, Click2Pay, Moneybookers, and Western Union. (Reminder – Prime Poker does NOT accept real money funds from US players.)

Prime Poker.com Software Interface/Usability
I found the lobby and table play to be fairly decent at . I thought lobby was crammed and found it hard to search through tables since there are so many running and the display window is pretty small. However, you can sort them by name, limit, and seated players. The lobby is split between cash and tournaments, and you must select which you want to display. One thing that I found frustrating was tournament lobby’s opened in the same window as the main lobby, as opposed to opening their own window. Also, tournament information is displayed in your browser rather than the software, which I was not use to. (Most of the options are also on their website rather than built into the software; such as the cashier.) If you select Options – Preferences, you can change certain options of the lobby and table. One great feature is you can select between 16 different kinds of languages, and most poker rooms only offer English.
Prime Poker offers a variety of different seated games, anything from 10-max full ring to, shorthanded tables with 6, 5, 4, or even 3-max tables. They also offer heads up tables for every limit. You can even create your own private ring or tournament, so only your friends can join. While sitting at a table, there are built in avatars for each seat, which can be disabled in the options menu. There are not many customizable options to change while playing, other than displaying amounts, avatars, and a 4 colored deck. I also noticed some minor glitches and pauses in the software, but nothing too major.
One interesting feature I noticed during tournaments was the built in percentage meter. If you end up all-in anytime during the hand, it shows each persons hand and percent to win. This reminded me watching a poker show on television, and can add to the excitement at final tables and such.
Hand histories are instantly available at the table by clicking on “prev hand” in the upper right hand corner. However, there is not a viewer; it just displays the text in your web browser. I also found the HHs at Prime Poker to very unorganized and were generally hard to follow. You can also save hands onto your computer.

PrimePoker Poker Room Action
One of the best things about playing at is the action. As stated earlier, there can be around 20,000+ connected during peak times, and there are always multiple tables open for every limit. With such a large player base playing across all limits, this is nice room to try out without having to worry about the size of your bankroll.

Prime Poker's Ease of Game, Ease of Making Money, Fish Rating
With such a large number of users connected, you can count on their being a large number of fish at Prime Poker. In general, most sites today that do not accept US players are much fishier than US rooms, and that is definitely the case here. If you are lucky enough to be able to play here, you will surely notice 3-4 huge whales at your table just waiting to give you their money. |

PrimePoker.com Bonus and Promotions
UPDATE: PrimePoker is giving us a special sign up bonus 100% up to $600. Please use Bonus Code FTR for this special deal.
is currently offering their regular first deposit bonus of 50% up to $100. In order to earn this bonus, you must play real money ring games or tournaments to collect Prime Poker Points. This point system was mentioned earlier, but here is an in depth explanation on earning them:
“For Hold'em, Omaha and 7 Card Stud, 0.1 Prime Poker Points are awarded for every $0.10 paid in rake. So a rake of $3 will award all players in the hand 3 Prime Poker Points. This is also the maximum Prime Poker Points per hand, because the maximum rake per hand is $3. All players that have invested money into the pot will be awarded an equal amount of Prime Poker Points, but only when the pot is raked. Players that do not contribute with any money to the pot will not be awarded any Prime Poker Points. Also, 5 Prime Poker Points are awarded for every dollar paid in the entry fee (for real money tournaments).”
I was slightly confused about being awarded points if you were just dealt cards, so I e-mailed their support and they replied with, “Yes players that do not contribute to the pot will not receive Prime Poker points.” This makes the bonus harder to earn. In order to clear the bonus, you need to earn 10 points for every $1 in bonus money. To earn the full $100, you will need 1000 points – which depending on limit, can take a long time. I find this to not be worth most peoples time, since the amount of money earned is lower than average, and the time is above average. You have 60 days from your deposit or it will expire. Prime Poker also tried to reward loyal players with 15% reload bonuses that are offered randomly.
