Golden Palace Poker

Golden Palace Poker is of course the sister site of top-rated online casino Golden Palace Casino which, over and above being a superb online casino, makes the online gambling news regularly with its strange and unusual purchases of online auction site, eBay. While Golden Palace Poker is a very able online poker room, it hasn`t yet reached its full potential one of Internet`s top online poker rooms.

This does not mean that Golden Palace Poker doesn`t offer excellent online poker software, Welcome Bonuses and competitions, which indeed it does, it just means that it needs to add certain features that are standard in most other top-end online poker rooms.

For instance, Golden Palace Poker only offers 2 poker variants, namely Texas Hold`em and Omaha, with 7 Card Stud expected to be added shortly. While Texas Hold`em and Omaha are undoubtedly the most popular online poker variants, it would be nice to have the choice of more.

Also, during games there is no facility for taking notes on other players. Again, this is a feature that is standard on most other top poker rooms. However, what is great about Golden Palace Poker is the high number of exciting and lucrative Free Roll tournaments on offer, tournaments with prizes consisting of seats to the World Series of Poker, and great buy-in tournaments.

The Tribeca Tables software used by Golden Palace Poker is excellent in terms of its speed and good graphics, allowing players to focus without distraction on the play at hand. Golden Palace Poker is a great online poker room which will hopefully evolve into an excellent poker room.

• Match Bonus of 50% up to $250
• Progressive Royal Jackpots (win when you get a royal flush)
• Weekly Super Suits Progressive Jackpots
• Seat to be won for the WSOP in the Leaderboard race
• Guaranteed Sunday Tournament (Up to $100 000 in prizes)

Rake at Golden Palace Poker:
Offers standard rake in online poker circles of 5%. However, the maximum rake is less at $1 on lower limit tables than it is in higher limit games at $3.

Traffic:
Traffic unfortunately is a little on the low side at Golden Palace Poker particularly in the ring games, which is about 2500 at peak times. Tournaments attract up to 8000 players during peak times, but this is expected to pick up as the poker room expands.

Game Limits and Games that you can play at Golden Palace Poker
Currently only Texas Hold`em and Omaha are on offer at Golden Palace Poker, with limits ranging from 5c/10c to $10/$20. Higher limit games, $50/$100 for example, require special permission from the poker room which is a little restrictive compared with other top online poker sites.

Deposits / Withdrawals:
The usual suspects: FirePay, NETeller, Visa, Citadel, Mastercard and myCitadel.

Competition:
Medium to experienced poker players should be able to win some decent money on Golden Palace Poker, given that many of its players are relatively inexperienced poker players who `clicked through` from Golden Palace Casino. However, due to a glut in lower stake games, players must be prepared to `grind it out` to come out ahead.

Player Loyalty Program and Service 
Golden Palace Poker offers `Action Points` which are redeemable for various products. In terms of customer service, players can call a toll-free number or email the poker room. Turnaround is good and help is good.
