The Site
GoldenPalacePoker.com offers the best in lightening-fast, action-packed online Texas Hold 'em poker. You'll find most of the poker action at the round-the-clock live poker tournaments, but if you're new to live Internet poker, you can start with free online poker games until you learn to play poker.
You won't find an abundance of poker games at GoldenPalacePoker.com. The selection is limited, but what GoldenPalacePoker.com lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality. Poker games include:
- Texas Hold 'em
- Omaha
- Omaha Hi/Lo
Signing Up and Sitting Down
The GoldenPalacePoker.com sign-up process is easy and the confirmation email is instantaneous. You can fund your online poker account directly with VISA or MasterCard as well as number of third-party options with as little as $20. Funding with a credit card is fastest and easiest. GoldenPalacePoker.com extends a bonus of 25% of your initial deposit. If, like me, you have a hard time understanding the GoldenPalacePoker.com sign-up bonus and the Action Points required to redeem the bonus, a quick call to customer support will enlighten you after a brief hold. It's not quite as easy to get your money back - you'll have wait on snail mail or Fed Ex. GoldenPalacePoker.com does not credit your credit card.
Playing poker at GoldenPalacePoker.com is secure and reliable. You download the client software to your PC and the automated installation requires little more than a click or two. The interface is stunning, the poker cards are large and the graphics are lightening-fast, courtesy of Tribeca Tables state-of-the-art software. The Random Number Generator (RNG) is continually monitored and audited by Gaming Associates.
Once you've downloaded the GoldenPalacePoker.com software client, you're ready to begin playing poker. If you want to learn to play poker, GoldenPalacePoker.com offers pages and pages of comprehensive poker rules, house rules, poker strategies and all the free poker play you want. If you need help, LiveChat is a click away. When you play poker with real money and you've accrued enough Action Points to qualify for your sign-up bonus, the Action Points continue to accrue and you can win a gift certificate to one of several popular stores. GoldenPalacePoker.com updates Action Points real-time, so you'll see your points rise after each real-money poker hand.
Tournaments and Amenities
At GoldenPalacePoker.com, the real action lies in the tournaments. You'll find far more action at the poker tournaments than in ring play. If you don't want to miss a poker tournament, don't worry, you won't. GoldenPalacePoker.com announces each poker tournament minutes before it opens with a popup and the poker tournament schedule is always available from their main menu. One of the current poker tournament grand prizes is a seat at the World Series of Poker.
Finally, GoldenPalacePoker.com offers a comprehensive list of amenities to round out your online poker experience:
- Buddies list
- Avatar
- Player's notes
- Stats
Bottom Line
It's this kind of attention to detail that earns GoldenPalacePoker.com consistently high accolades from online poker players.
