EFFG Poker Site Reviews

exploded onto the poker scene in 2004, bringing its combination of gaming knowledge (their sports book and casino have been in action for some time) and the affluent lifestyle of owner Calvin Ayre.They have sent players to many of the top international tournaments and 2006 World Series championJamie Goldonce called Kiwi Poker Rewardhis online home.Kiwi Poker Reward, with its stand alone software, is one of the few poker rooms that still allow American players to access the site, yet their appeal isn???t limited to just the United States.It is not uncommon for players from Europe and Asia to be in the mix as, since early in 2008, Kiwi Poker Rewardhas placed a premium on expanding their presence in those areas of the world.Popularity ??? 6 of 10 ??? AverageKiwi Poker Rewardhas been hovering around their apex for players during the last six months.They will peak at around 1500 players in the early evening in the United States and will drop down to only a few hundred in the early morning hours.The additional attention to the foreign markets should see an increase in these numbers.Security ??? 7 of 10 ??? GoodKiwi Poker Rewardhas a solid system across the board.Transactions run smoothly on the deposit, albeit there have been issues with cashing checks; problems with the site are quickly addressed by the appropriate personnel.Player Competition ??? 9.5 of 10 ??? ExcellentPerhaps because of their sports book, Kiwi Poker Rewardattracts a looser than normal player to their poker site.This can be a blessing and a curse to more solid players, who will be able to make money as long as they can avoid the bad beats along the way.Kiwi Poker Rewardalso offers several disciplines of poker (Omaha, Seven Card, Razz, etc.) in both Limit and No Limit ring games, but there is little high stakes action.This is the only markdown for this particular area.Tournament action is plentiful as well.Kiwi Poker Rewardhosts a weekly $100,000 tournament as well as their own Kiwi Poker Open.Guaranteed tournaments sometimes will have an overlay to them.The size of tournaments also tends to be in the smaller hundreds instead of the 500-1000 players you may see on other sites.Site Software ??? 7.5 of 10 ??? GoodKiwi Poker Reward???s visual look isn???t gaudy, but it gets the job done.The lack of a ???player??? at the table (just a box with the critical information is present) may be something that takes newcomers some time getting used to but isn???t a major problem.The lobby can be tiered to get the information that a player may want and filtering is easily done.Customer Service ??? 7.5 of 10 ??? GoodThere are no-charge888or 866 numbers to receive immediate attention from Kiwi Poker Rewardas well as an e-mail function embedded in the site???s home page.If choosing the e-mail option, it can take up to a day for you to receive a response.If choosing the phone route, you may have to be patient as call volume can sometimes require a good waiting period.Company Ethics ??? 7 of 10 ??? GoodBecause they also run a sports book, casino and horse betting systems, you have to wonder where poker comes in the mix.There is also an emphasis on more of the ???lifestyle??? of a Kiwi Poker Rewardplayer rather than a solid poker player???s approach to the game.Site Promotions ??? 8 of 10 ??? Very GoodKiwi Poker Rewardoffers their weekly $100K tournament as well as the chance to take on one of their stable of pros (poker pros Jean Robert Bellande,Justin Bonomo,Evelyn NgandDavid Williams) in heads up action.They also offer seats to major poker tournaments around the globe and also their own online poker series in the Kiwi Poker Open.First timer deposits are eligible for a 110% matching amount, with the appropriate time played to earn points to release it.There are also occasionally reload bonuses announced.Overall ??? 7.0 out of 10 ??? GoodWhile Kiwi Poker Rewarddoes look more at the lifestyle of a poker player, they can???t be overlooked for their potential.Loose players can translate into a growing bankroll and smaller tournaments can be profitable as well.What may improve Kiwi Poker Rewardin the future is their continued focus on the European and Asian markets to provide around the clock action.As it is now, however, the early morning hours in the States draw Kiwi Poker Rewarddown.Visit Kiwi PokerDownload Kiwi Poker RewardNowVisit Kiwi Poker RewardKiwi Poker RewardInfoNameKiwi Poker RewardWeb sitehttp://poker.Kiwi Poker Reward.comEstablished2004CountryAntiguaAuditorPWCNetworkKiwi Poker RewardNetworkSize32.0 MBE-Mailservice@Kiwi Poker Reward.comReviewed ByadminKiwi Poker RewardScore6.0Popularity:7.0Security:9.5Player Competition:7.5Site Software:7.5Customer Support:7.0Company Ethics:8.0Site Promotions:7.0Overall Score:Pros & ConsProsAccepts USA players.Innovative live tournament promotions.Soft competition from sports book players.ConsMac version only supports cash game tables.Confusing table layout.Low player volumes.Lacks high-stakes online poker tournaments.HomeOnline Poker RoomsPoker TournamentsInterviewsPoker StrategyPoker LegislationPoker TVEditorialsVideosGossipPlayer ProfilesPoker GirlsWPTWSOPOnline PokerSite NewsSubscribe Via:RSSEmailTwitterFree Poker GiftsOver $10,000,000 in free poker gifts shippedFree Poker MoneyGet up to $100 in free poker money with no deposit requiredPoker Source RakebackGet up to 35% rakeback at the world’s most popular sitesPoker ForumOne of the largest online poker forums on the webOnline Poker RankingsSee the top 100 online poker players rankedPoker BlogsBlogs from the top online poker playersRakebackGet up to 40% rakeback at the world’s most popular sitesFree CardRunnersTheNuts members get free memberships just for playing pokerRake RacesTheNuts members get exclusive rake races and rake chasesMac PokerA great resource for those who want to play poker on a macPoker TermsAn extensive poker terms databasePoker SoftwareA review of all the top poker software packagesCopyright ??? 2010Poker News Daily, a member of thePlay Poker Network.All rights reserved.Contact Us|Site Map
