Players Only Rakeback Players Only Poker Review
PlayersOnly is the poker branch of sportsbook.com, one of the the biggest sports bookmakers online. PlayersOnly is on the Cake Poker network, and has one of the largest, if not the largest player base on the network, due to the large number of sports bettors who use their joint accounts to play on the poker tables. PlayersOnly is U.S friendly. Not only do they accept U.S players, but they are one of very few sites that accept credit card deposits from America. Quality Of Opposition The biggest positive at PlayersOnly is the large number of sports gamblers playing at its poker tables. These gamblers haven't got a clue how to play poker and just like to gamble, so are really easy to win money from. During texas holdem cash games you regularly get 50% to 60% of players entering each pot, which is ridiculously high and means that players are playing with weak cards. Sign Up Bonus Players only offer a deposit bonus equal to 110% of the amount that you deposit, including 10% instantly. This means that if you deposit $650 you'll be given a free $65 instantly, plus a further $650 which will be released into your account as you earn frequent player points (fpp's) by playing poker. Players have 90 days to clear as much of the bonus as possible in $10 increments. 1 FPP is earned for every $1 raked in ring games and 7 FPP'S are earn't for every $1 paid in tournament fees. When combined with rakeback, the bonus clears at 61% of your rake when playing tournaments. The clear rate will vary for cash games.
Software The software at PlayerOnly was created by a group of professional poker players to offer everything that a poker player needs. The software runs smoothly, and has built in stats for yourself, your individual opponents, and the average of your table. There is also a built in notepad to take notes while you're playing. The one downside for some poker players is that PlayersOnly's software, like all of the other rooms on the Cake network, isn't compatible with holdem manager, or any other poker tracking software. This is actually a positive if you don't like to use this type of software yourself, as it means that nobody else is using it so you're all playing on an even field. It's of course a negative if you like to use poker tracking software to build up detailed statistics of all of your opposition. The graphics at PlayersOnly are nice, with good looking avatars that are attractive without being distracting.
