HOLDEMPOKER REVIEW

General

HoldemPoker is a well-known pokersite for most poker players. The platform was launched September 2004 for play money and converted over to real money April 2005. With over 1,000,000 registered users and the option to play poker with Macintosh, Holdem Poker is growing rapidly every day.

Players from Sweden and Costa Rica are not allowed playing at HoldemPoker for legal reasons.

We decided to add another poker room from Ongame Studio, which now has become one of the biggest poker software providers on the Internet. HoldemPoker.com is part of the Swedish based Ongame Network together with PokerRoom.com, EuroPoker, eCardroom and Hollywood Poker.

This poker room is MAC and Linux compatible in the meaning that they support browser play. HoldemPoker is a favourite poker site for many Mac and Linux users and while we wait for 100% working MAC software, this No-download poker room's works perfectly fine. Of course there is downloadable software but only for Windows.

Players from Costa Rica and Sweden aren't allowed to play at HoldemPoker for legal reasons. We recommend Hollywood Poker as an alternative if you want play the Ongame Network. They use the same network as PokerRoom and HoldemPoker the software is also similar.

Games offered are: Texas Hold'em, Omaha, 7 Card Stud and 5 Card Draw.

Software

The software is very good and easy navigated. We tested the software as usual by playing at 3 different times to check that the servers holds up. There were no lag or delay to report.

In the software you can see other players, and your, ping time/delay allowing you to choose the fast tables, great feature.

The statistics and note feature are great as well. Its so important to have at least some kind of note taking if you don't want to write everything up with a pen and paper. Since HoldemPoker is part of the Ongame Network you will find all the same good features here.

This poker room is Macintosh and Linux friendly. They offer a java no-download version for the MAC/Linux audience that works great.

Traffic

There is action 24/7 at Holdem Poker. Ongame Network, with PokerRoom, Betsson and EuroPoker, is one of fastest growing poker networks. With over 20,000 players logged in at peak hours and growing each day, Ongame Network has managed to develop attractive poker rooms, which poker players from around the globe appreciates.

Promotions

Good! They offer monthly promotions together with daily freerolls and special tournaments. Some of the promos are:

• Refer a Friend program

They are of course not as good and as many as PokerRoom.com offers but HoldemPoker is still only about a year old.

Support

No Live Chat support but they have 24/7 email support and Telephone support. They also have a comprehensive FAQ on their Website. As usual we tested the support by sending 3 different emails with 3 different topics. We received a good reply on all 3 within 15 minutes.
