ive beeb playing at sun a couple of months,partly because of the rakeback program.however beginning of january i thought i would reload with $200 to take advantage of the monthly bonus plus 50% rakeback.after reaching 500 p/points $200 bonus was credited to my account at this point there were about 10 days to wait for my rakeback, so i went to ladbrokes, where earning points for rakeback/freerolls is very easy. the rakeback at sun arrived in my a/cc 5february.however it was no where near what i was expecting,as sun explained in the email all bets used to clear a bonus (which is most of the time)do not count towards your rakeback dollars.i did not see any explanation of this on their website before hand.i was under thr impression if you reload each month you received 50% of your rake, plus your bonus if cleared.the reality is you get a small % of rakeback if you reload and clear your monthly bonus.i hope this will be of help to those of you who are enticed by such bonuses/rakeback as i was with sunpoker rakeback 50%?.afterall the pokersites ambiguous marketing is for a reason!

“New Rakeback” by DeezNutz, 15 Jun 2007

I for one am excited for this new rakeback scale coming on July 1st. I play a lot of hands there and for the mid to larger player, the rakeback is going to be significantly more money back in my pocket. With the $1,000 bonus and $500 no deposit bonus, it's going to be easy to come out way ahead with this poker room every month. I just wish they had more high limit games available at non-peak times. That's about my only complaint with this room. Anyone looking for a great room that's not one of the Big boys, this should be your first stop. And be sure to get rakeback with FTR before signing up at Sun. It's too easy!

What? Sun Poker just decided to change their rakeback policies to screw existing rakeback players? I don't get it. Things were so good for a long time. Supposed to occur on July 1, 2007 - so we'll see what happens, I'm not sure exactly what's going to happen, but I did receive a heads up. I hate to see sudden changes in the terms and agreements, especially when they're meant to benefit the poker room and put more money in their pockets. However, Sun Poker is a good place to play, with great bonuses, reloads, service, etc... I'm on the fence whether to continue playing there, I guess it all depends on what happens to my rakeback over the coming months. Good Luck!

Rakeback Program - Admittedly i accidently signed up directly, instead of through the link, but a couple of emails to the admin folks of FTR and another one to the website directly and I was ready to go. The customer service folks were 100% helpful and friendly and a response was lightening quick in all instances. Interface / Usability - Pretty good, no fancy graphics or anything, just solid easy-to-browse table lists showing stakes, players involved, average pots etc. Room Action - Most tables are always busy, at all levels. I am still a newbie so only play the lower stakes, but i've still made over $100 in profit off just a few hours a weeks play at $0.25 / $0.50 Technical / Customer Support - This is where these guys stand out for me. They respond amazingly fast to emails, and i mean within an Hour sometimes. NTL have still not responded to an email i sent months ago!!!! So, you can feel 100% totally sure that if you have a problem, these guys will step up and help and so far i have always had an agreable resolution. Ease of money / Fishy's - As i 've only played at low levels its hard to give a good estimate, but as stated above i have made $100 profit in 2 months, only playing a couple of hours a week at low level stakes, and im $10 away from making my 2nd $100 bucks. So, take from that what you will. Bonus / promotions - The rakeback program is awsome, my first payment came through recently and i was amazed it was soo high considering how little i felt i'd played. This is an absolute must if you are going to sign up. Good matching bonus too, i deposited $20 and got another $20 back within a the month (playing 100 raked hands). Overall, this has been my favourite site so far (i've played at 3 in total) and i thoroughly recommend it for both Newbies and Seasoned hands alike!!! Get playing!

It's ok, the recurring bonuses are great. Players and games are a bit limited, but this is a place worth playing.

Mediocre support, crappy software, mediocre action, not-so-bad bonuses.

“Underrated” by Badger, 23 May 2005

Rakeback: N/A   Interface:    Action:    Support:    Fish:    Bonus:

One of the most underrated rooms on the Internet. The action here has increased substantially over the past few months because of all the marketing attention the Crypto rooms have seen. Their stock price has skyrocketed. You're going to get a lot of novice players here because of Caribbean Sun's sister property the Sands. A lot of blackjack players will try their hand at poker because it's hot and they just get eaten up. If you have any experience playing poker, you won't have much of a problem earning here, although a lot of experienced players are now catching onto this room also because of its killer bonus structure. One of the few poker rooms to give ATTAINABLE bonuses every month. None of this deposit $5000 and get $50 B.S. They give you an honest $40 straight up every month. Good luck!

“Ok I guess” by mattperkins26, 28 Apr 2005

I find the pace of the games on this sight to be a lot slower than the Party Poker skins. Also, I don't know if it is just me, but the tables hurt my eyes a little when I have 2+ tables open at the same time. The players are ok, but there are definitely some wild players at the limit that I play (NL 0.5/1.00) who will go all in on a flush draw or high pair. I don't find the quality of players any better than PP, and maybe even a little worse. Tourneyment selection is also a little weak. I find I have to sort by number signed up and have to take what's available at the time. This sight needs more players.

Caribbean Sun Poker is a Cryptologic skin, so same as InterPoker. These are very solid and decent rooms. My experience has been that overall the players are not bad. I like playing here because I'm not going to get sucked out on a runner-runner as often as a total fish bowl poker room.

“Great Poker Room!!!” by TopGambler, 21 Mar 2005

Rakeback: N/A   Interface:    Action:    Support:    Fish:    Bonus:

An up an coming Poker room. Software is good, but when it comes to the important stuff, they know how to treat the poker player. Their staff is always there, and with the bonuses, Caribbean Sun is the first to deliver with their low hand requirement. Only 500 hands required for $40. This is EVERY 500 hands. Great bonus. Straight up and to the point! Not like these other sites that have all the fine print. I'm consistently up on this poker room every month. There are so many fish there it's ridiculous. Crypto rooms and this one in particular are noted for their fish. Take the path less traveled and you'll be happy.
