True Poker Review
True Poker is one of the smaller websites and though the traffic it gets is not exactly impressive, there’s a nice small community feel about the operation. True Poker is an independent poker room, they offer rakeback and they are not subject to strange network policies. They do not benefit from any sort of network-provided traffic either, and they accept US players. True Poker was among the first sites to feature a fully 3D client.
The full 3D client that True Poker features uses a graphics engine which is slowly becoming dated. Regardless though, the visual experience is still rewarding as one can use first person view to try to make the experience as genuine as possible. The fact that there are a limited number of avatars though kind of ruins the realism factor.
Multi tabling is available at 8 tables, which – considering the challenges posed by the graphics – is in fact pretty impressive. Playing at 8 tables should be more than enough for the average player.
As said above, the traffic that True Poker receives is not overly impressive. You’ll still find decent action at the lower limits though, and relatively good tournament action as well. The quality of the competition spans from tight- aggressive to loose passive. You’ll find all sorts of players here and juicy games are not rare either.
True Poker offers a 100% match on player deposits, up to $200. The redemption rate is one of the best in the poker industry. Players need to make a minimum deposit of $25 to qualify for the bonus. For every 1,000 qualified raked hands (hands that generate more than $1 in rake) players participate in, they unlock $100 of their bonus.
The bonus is valid for 40 days.
True Poker offers direct access satellites to live events. The $13,000 WSOP Main Event packages are only the tip of the iceberg in this respect. Their finest promotion is the sign-up bonus that you can combine with the 30% rakeback they offer.
This rakeback provides players with a steady stream of extra revenue, which lands in their real money accounts twice every month, on the 3rd and on the 18th.
True Poker’s support can be reached through email and they guarantee a response within 24 hours. A phone number is also provided for emergency issues and can be use to contact support 24/7.
