Prime Poker Review

6.88/10 6.88 / 10

(Note: this poker room does not allow U.S. players).

Prime Poker is one of the newest poker rooms to join the Ongame network, doing so in late 2006. The Prime Poker player base is widespread but mainly European, and offers slightly tougher action at the higher limits than most poker sites. Prime Poker offers players frequent reload bonuses, money-added tournaments and freerolls. The game variety is good and the software offers nice playability.

FULL REVIEW - Prime Poker (6.88)

Due to U.S. legislation preventing credit card companies from collecting payments for wagers made by U.S. residents, Prime Poker has determined to suspend all real-money gaming business in the United States.

Prime Poker uses the Ongame platform, with all the benefits of their shared player base. The Prime Poker software has a nice design and functionality and is offered as a download version that is only available for PC. For Mac and Linux users however, the no-download Java version works just fine. There are also plans for mobile poker.

Prime Poker is a popular poker room, and for being a relative newcomer they are attracting players fast. Prime Poker offers many special promotions such as money-added tournaments, freerolls and qualifiers to big poker events, plus great statistical analysis of played hands and live statistics when all-in.

Action can be found at Prime Poker at almost any limit and at most times of the day. It is however primarily a European poker room, so for the biggest games European peak hours is the time to play. The lower and micro-limits are well populated at any time of the day though.

The games offered at Prime Poker are Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud, Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo and Five-Card Draw. The games vary between No-Limit, Pot-Limit and Fixed-Limit, with full, shorthanded and heads-up tables all available.

Real-money player statistics as of August 2008 show 9,000 ring-game players at peak hours and 45,000 tournament players at peak hours.

Overall, PokerListings finds that Prime Poker offers great action, good game diversity and software that plays very well. The software is updated frequently to ensure safety and stability with some downtime as a result.
