There’s a Snake in Paradise but It’s Paradise Nonetheless

Paradise Poker has certainly made a name for itself as one of the world’s leading poker rooms in the internet.  However, U.S. legislation – particularly that which classifies as unlawful accepting payments from U.S citizens – has become like a snake in paradise.

Yes folks, this is currently the main problem that players have with Paradise Poker.  The difficulty of playing in Paradise Poker if one is a U.S. Citizen (difficulty not impossibility for, believe me, there are ways) has negatively affected Paradise Poker’s size.  From its spot as one of the largest poker room online, Paradise Poker has regressed to just a site of medium size.

Superior Software Nonetheless

Restriction to U.S Citizens notwithstanding, Paradise Poker is still one of the elite poker sites out there.  Experience shows in its absolutely smooth and flawless gaming software that offers distinct and classy graphics and sounds.  The look of the lobby alone will tell you how different Paradise Poker is from other sites; the lobby looks absolutely beautiful with its tropical paradise theme.  Animated characters add even more spice to the game.  More importantly, though, play at Paradise Poker long enough and you’ll soon realize that you have no downtime problems and very fast connections.

Useful and Accessible Game Statistics

There’s no doubt about it.  Paradise Poker has some of the best collection of game statistics for players.  When you click the game stats icon (the percent symbol found in the upper left corner) a stats window will open displaying your game statistics in an easy-to-read percentage format.  Based on your actions’ percentages for instance, you’ll immediately gain an impression on how loose or tight a player you are.  You can also loosely associate this with your win percentages displayed on the same window.

Wide Array of Games

Perhaps because of its previously large membership base, Paradise Poker has been able to diversify its game selection.  Of course, it has the standard community poker variants like Texas Hold’em and Omaha.  Stud Poker is also part of the game choices.  However, it has the Five Card Draw variety with which most home game players are acquainted.  Curiously enough, Paradise Poker also offers Crazy Pineapple.

Incentives, Of Course

Paradise Poker belongs to the higher end of poker sites when it comes to signup bonuses.  It offers to match your deposit by 100% for a bonus of up to $100.  Moreover, Paradise Poker also rewards people who refer the site to their friends with a $50 bonus when said referrals make a deposit of at least $50.  As an additional incentive, Paradise Poker has a Paradise Players Club program; players can earn points for playing in real money games and these points can be redeemed for cash or for seats at tournaments.
