Against all expectations,Everest Poker, an online poker playing site using its own dedicated software and independent from any other network has succeeded in becoming one of the leader in its field.
Since 2005, date of its creation EverestPoker has not stopped growing, with an average of 7000 players logged in at any one time Everest-Poker is bound to attract attention within the online poker playing community.
Why is Everest Poker so popular one may ask? The management has marketed the site extensively throughout Europe. In fact Everest Poker did forbid access to US citizen even before the US law on gambling was even ratified. This decision had for effect to attract even more players from Europe. The multilingual support available is second to none: whether you speak French, Japanese, German, Portuguese or indeed any other main stream European language, you can feel at home at Everest Poker. Furthermore as a new player, and once you have registered and downloaded their client software, Everest Poker offers you a no strings attached 100$ bonus.
What can be said about Everest Poker software and its graphics?
Its main attraction is that it is extremely small in size which makes it possible to use with any type of internet connections. It includes a 16 languages support pack. The three dimensional Avatar is extremely detailed and make it one of the best online. If you are a beginner as I was, the presence of training rooms is definitely a plus. The playing chart refreshes quite rapidly, and the number of playing hand per hour averages 60 to 65 which make Everest Poker even more attractive.
Currently on Everest Poker, you can play Hold’em and the Omaha in pot Limit, Limit and Heads up variations. You can also take part in online poker tournaments.
The best tournaments on Everest are surely the daily freerolls in the category cash and tournaments. The “Play free and make real money” tournaments are also very popular. However, the traffic can be saturated during the European rush hours: there are approximately 6000 players in the real money game mode and 12 000 players around all tables.
If you prefer playing in a low stake competition, Everest Poker does offer tables for a small amount of players. These tables target players with a high pre flog folding percentage. Pretty handy for us big players I though, mind you I have see High Stake tables playing like that too.
On the down side, in contrast with other sites, Everest Poker does not or very seldom offer any fidelity schemes to its members. Instead, it has a system of point that you can accumulate and redeem to enter tournaments. This is not so bad if you are interested in playing for the fun of playing but you could feel a bit short changed if you are a serious money playing member.
Although newly opened (less that 3 years) I completely trust Everest Poker as far as the security of my financial information and have no problem in recommending this great site. |
