UK Best Bet Betting and Poker Forum Review
With the recent move to the iPoker Network, Sun Poker joins a star-studded fleet of rooms. The iPoker Network is the third largest on the face of the Earth according to PokerScout.com, which tracks online poker room traffic in cash games. It consistently ranks among the busiest groups of sites in business.
Sun Poker's name also has become one of the anchors of the industry. However, the iPoker Network does not accept customers from the United States.
Like all other major online poker networks, you'll find a wide variety of players on the Sun Poker. Texas Hold'em, Omaha High, Omaha High-Low, and Stud card games are available. Pot Limit, No Limit, and Limit games can be found in full swing 24 hours per day. Just like on most other sites you'll find much softer play at the lower stakes than the higher ones. Rest assured, though, that you'll be able to find a game.
Talking to a member of Sun Poker's customer service team is painless. Sun Poker has a full list of e-mails to reach support and the VIP club. E-Mail support is available around the clock. Phone and Fax support are also available, with specific numbers to use from the United Kingdom and North America. The international call-in line is + 632-756-7826. Sun Poker Members can also take advantage of Live Support.
The iPoker VIP Club offers a similar promotion to rakeback; money returned to players depends on their VIP status. Satellites into some of the world's largest live poker tournaments are available, including the Irish Poker Open and World Series of Poker. Promoted tournaments vary by the time of year, so check out the Sun Poker lobby for more information.
A generous sign-up bonus is available which will help fund your bankroll for Sun Poker's $400,000 in weekend guarantees as a member of the iPoker Network. Check out the mammoth $215 buy-in $250,000 Guaranteed every Sunday. Warm up for the late weekend tournament by taking part in the $50,000 Guaranteed every Saturday. All you have to do is cough up $109 for entry. Sun Poker also offers a high-stakes rebuy tournament with at least $100,000 up for grabs. The $55 rebuy extravaganza takes place every Friday night at 19:00 GMT.
Sun Poker Deposit Bonus8/10100% Up to $250/$500/$1000 Bonus - No Bonus Code Needed!
New players who sign up a real money account at Sun Poker are presented with several first deposit bonus options, each with their own Bonus Code. Note that when you enter a Bonus Code and click Apply you should get a message stating the Bonus Code has been applied successfully. Also note that this Sign-Up Bonus is not just for New Players, but may be utilized by existing members one time each and every month at Sun Poker. All bonus options must meet clearing requirements within the calendar month they were applied. The 3 Choices are $250, $500 or $1000 Bonus.
Sun Poker Software9/10Sun Poker is powered by the iPoker Network, a leader in the online poker software industry. The graphics are vibrant, with dynamic red felt tables 4 deck colors. Vital Lobby statistics supply viewed-flop percentage, average pot size and hands played per hour. There's a very good hand history function. The software supports Poker Tracker and gameplay in 3 currencies, USD, Euro and Pounds. The time clock is short compared to most online poker rooms, which fast-paced players appreciate.
Player Competition9/10When you’ve got 20,000 players you’ve got to have appropriate competition in there somewhere. Whether you are looking for small-stakes fishies or big buy-in sharks, Sun Poker has so many players that you are ensured of finding the right level of competition for you.
Site Promotions8/10It’s never easy to scoff at free money and Sun Poker does offer its share of free money to its players. A 100% bonus on up to the first $500 deposit is basically the only big welcome bonus while the $500,000 rake races dole out hundreds of thousands of dollars every month to members. Still, like most sites the VIP program is lacking and you’re unlikely to surmount the requirements for achieving most bonuses.
Sun Poker Payment Methods9/10Deposits can be made in 3 currencies, US Dollar, Euro and Pounds Sterling. Withdraws are generally made in the same manner as deposits. Availability of some deposit and/or withdraw methods are subject to a player's geographical location.
Deposit Methods: Visa, MasterCard, NETeller, Citadel, FirePay, Click2Pay, PaySafeCard, EFT, Bank Wire, Certified Check and Personal Check.
Withdraw Methods: Visa, MasterCard, NETeller, Citadel, FirePay, Click2Pay, PaySafeCard, EFT, Bank Wire and Check.
Contacting Customer Support8/10The customer service at Sun Poker provides 24/7 assistance via e-mail, telephone and live chat support. Response time is very quick and the staff is generally knowledgeable in most areas of service.
