A Review Of Action Poker
Action poker offers just that, action. With its motto of “Get Some” you know you found a site that will challenge you to perform to your utmost level. Action poker is owned and operated by Ecom Enterprises which is a fully-owned subsidiary of Playsafe Holding AS, which tells you this is a company that knows its stuff.
Action Poker is under the regulation of the Kahnawake Gaming Commission and is based in Norway (OTC), thus making it a very informed international poker organization. Action Poker began its business in 1999 with software licensed from the Action Poker Network (APN). This is a company that is established and secure enough to win the patronage of the poker community by going to all ends to improve the players online experience.
If you only have a MAC forget this site because it runs exclusively on Microsoft Windows version 98 and later. But, for the great majority out there with PCs you will find a rapid download that is exclusive to Action Poker. Upon opening the software, you will notice a message informing you of the latest bonus which really gets your juices flowing. So suffer, you MAC users.
The update tool, found under options at the top bar of the screen, is a dandy feature that lets you download the latest version of the software at anytime that is convenient to you. The software is drop-down and button-based making it intuitive and easy to navigate. You will also get a news ticker and flashing ads to keep you apprised of the latest in poker information and events. There are other nifty features of the application like links to the minutiae of all game rules under the help menu as well as a display of the casino and blackjack games right smack in front of you. The customer is king here.
Action Poker as a rule is running 300 tables with 3,000 players at any given time. Players can expect to find the usual games of no limit, fixed limit and pot limit holdem, Omaha and seven card stud, but Action Poker goes way beyond the standard games and offers some really unusual varieties. Games such as Guts poker, Monte Carlo Guts and Survivor guts are some of the games that will challenge even the most experienced player. Then there is Pan, which is played in California and is a rummy based game fit for the true gambling man or woman.
The wagers start at $.01/02 and go upwards to $50/100 covering every player’s wallet and skill level. Tournament play is not a big feature at Action Poker but the games that do exist include freerolls and fine formats to make up for their sparse appearances. While there are only a few tournaments, buy in begins at one thin dime and can lead to big rewards and one could go for the World Series packages if a buy-in of $1,400 doesn’t weaken them. There are certainly ample opportunities among the variety of games on the site to earn some great bonus money and prizes.
One of the major promotions is a satellite to the Winter Games in Vancouver including tickets to the 2010 Men’s Hockey Gold Final. Action Poker gives guarantees that keep the customers flocking to its site for its tournament-based bonuses. Do not forget the inimitable Stanley and Frieda Tournament as a bounty tournament played Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays wherein players are awarded an extra 30 bucks for laying Stanley and Frieda under. This poker site is here to stay with its satellites to the World Series of Poker.
Longevity fosters security and at Action Poker and with companies like the International Gaming Council, (IGC) and the random number generator tester ITECH Labs Australia, players will feel secure and cared for well into the future. An unusual aspect of the site is that it gives contact information to three gambling help agencies: GamCare, Gamblers Anonymous and The National Council on Problem Gambling. This is a company that cares for its players and wishes them success.
There is a 24 hour a day support group available by email to provide for any needs, questions or comments that a player might have. All are answered promptly and resolved to the satisfaction of the customer. It is an extremely secure platform so players never need to feel their privacy is compromised in any way and can focus on what matters – the poker. Action Poker is a supremely secure site.
So go “get some” and enjoy yourself and your winnings.
