PlayersOnly Poker Review
PlayersOnly Poker opened its doors in 2006 on the Cake Network. Back then it was an ever increasing network but nothing like it is now. In their opening two years, PlayersOnly Poker has grown exceedingly fast and now is the main rival to Cake on the network. Many players love the site due to the soft games at even high levels. This is due many players joining the site for the casino or sports book and therefore having little knowledge of poker but huge account balances. Another great advantage to the site is that they still have their doors open to American players and there are no signs they are going to stop.
Overall PlayersOnly Poker has created a well established poker room in a remarkably short amount of time. Soft games coupled together with flowing software and juicy bonuses, the site is a must try for any player.

PlayersOnly Poker Initial Deposit Bonus
PlayersOnly Poker offer an average initial bonus of 100% up to $650. Players must earn points called FPP’s to clear the bonus which is paid out in increments of $10. Each FPP is equal to 6 cents so to clear $10 of your bonus you must accumulate 167 FPP’s.
FPP’s are earned for the amount of rake taken from each hand or from each tournament buy in. Whilst in a cash game, the amount of FPP’s you earn is based on the rake to the penny. For example, if the hand rakes a total of $1 you will receive 1 FPP. For every dollar in tournament fees you pay, you receive 7 FPP’s. For example, if the tournament you enter is a buy in of $10+1 you have accumulated 7 FPP’s.

PlayersOnly Poker Promotions
To make up for the average deposit bonus, PlayersOnly Poker offers players unique, rewarding promotions. Their biggest promotion is called “Gold Cards”. Whilst playing at a table you may randomly be awarded with a Gold Card. This is awarded to just one player from the table once a set amount of rake has been generated. Players can then use these cards to enter tournaments and more importantly compete in the Gold Card Lottery. Everyday on the homepage a new Gold Card Lottery is announced in which a number of Gold Cards will be displayed and players who collect the cards stated in the allotted time, win the amount of money on offer. The amount of money depends on the difficulty of the lottery.
Another great promotion is the Gold Chip Programme. You collect Gold Chips once you have earned a certain amount of FPP’s, which can be used in weekly tournaments with varying prize pools and variation of poker. They can also be used to purchase products from the Player Rewards Store. The store offers items such as I pods, tournament tickets to live events, Super Bowl tickets and much more. Purchases can only be made with Gold Chips.
Other promotions on offer from PlayersOnly Poker are Freeroll into Millions, Monday Night Football Free rolls and many chances to win your way to a live event seat.
Competition
Competition at PlayersOnly Poker is regarded as the worst on the internet by many poker players. As we have already stated, many players do not register to the site to play poker, but play anyway as they may be intrigued by the game or have more money then sense. Either way it is a gift for any solid player, as even at high limits there are fish to be found. There are many Full ring games in which the average percentage of players viewing the flop is around 60%, much higher then elsewhere.
Although this is heaven for any cash game player, tournaments on the other hand are much harder to win. There are always fields filled with fish and donkeys that will often knock you out with garbage. Your luck obviously evens out and you will make your fair share of final tables, but it can be rather annoying when there is an all-in every hand.

Traffic on the Cake Network is always on the rise. Currently, traffic at ring games is at 1,700 at peak hours. The lower limits are always populated and you can more often then not find a running game of $10/20 NL.
Tournament traffic is of course much higher then cash games. At peak hours you will find around 6,000 players online.

Whilst in the lobby players can navigate throughout the main parts of the software such as cashier, rewards etc. easily and without having to trawl through menus.

This provides players with current promotions running so they can update themselves with the information without having to leave the table and risk losing focus on the game.
