Pacific Poker Review

$400 Bonus

Visit Website or Download Instantly

Founded in 2002, Pacific Poker is one of the oldest mainstays in the online poker business.  Since that time, Pacific Poker has developed a loyal player base who keep the action going at all hours.  New players get an excellent deposit bonus with a few exciting changes from the competitors.

It should be noted that Pacific Poker is excellent for low-stakes poker with a friendly community.

Gameplay  6.5/10

When players sit down at Pacific Poker, they can either play in their browser or using a downloaded client.  The downloaded client is preferable in all ways, but you can play via your browser with very few kinks and no major features missing. 

Pacific Poker regularly has a 100K tourney every Sunday.

Promotions  9/10

Promotions are what Pacific Poker does best.  They offer a 100% deposit bonus up to $400, which places it in the mid-range for promotion deals.  What it does differently from competitors however is to give you 25% of that bonus money right off the bat.  No hands have to be played, no bonus points earned, just straight cash into your account for you to start playing with.  The remaining three-quarters of your bankroll must be earned through play like on other poker rooms but they accumulate fast.

Getting a portion of your bonus from square-one is something most players have longed for and it is impressive that Pacific Poker fulfills this long-held wish.  For new players who are worried they might not achieve their bonus in a reasonable amount of time, Pacific Poker is a great place to make your first deposit.

Customer Service  7.5/10

Pacific Poker offers decent e-mail support and excellent phone service.  Customers should be able to get simple questions answered in a matter of hours through their automated e-mail service.  Right now, they have a different toll free number for each country to call as well as a fax line for international players.  They also feature live-chat help.

Wrap up

Pacific Poker is doing some things right.  Their bonuses are a welcome change from the often slow and annoying returns of other poker rooms.  Customer service is above average and they really go the extra mile for phone support. 

New players should definitely give Pacific Poker a look, if for no other reason than that portion (25%) of your welcome bonus that you’ll get, with no playthrough contingencies. Their bonus structure is good enough that Pacific Poker would also come highly suggested to dedicated Hold ‘Em players looking for a place to play ring games.
