Summary Review
|
: |
Players Only Poker is the self-proclaimed sexiest poker room on the internet and tries to suck you in through bikini clad harlots and women making kissy-faces. Personally, I am hardly against this novel concept of selling sex and have been a firm believer that such tactics should be used in everything from magazines to selling real estate. Yes sir, I think this home suits you perfectly and if you purchase it today, I'll strip naked for you and do cartwheels. A thrilling concept indeed, but our job is not to assess the marketing and therefore we must delve deeper to see if these women are complimentary or serve only to mask the problems within.

The Poker Website
The women are everywhere. One lady asks if I need help and to click her to get started. Suddenly, I'm not sure whether Players Only Poker is a gambling or porn site, as I am known to browse both rigorously. Another girl is in a black bikini and proclaims that "Girls love big winners!" and that I needed to download Players Only Poker and start winning if I ever wanted to have such an astoundingly hot woman as well as compensate for any penis deficiencies. The only Players Only Poker link that does not come with its own prostitute is the "poker school" link. I was expecting a model in glasses attesting to the benefits of pocket rockets, cowboys and things of that sort. In short, the whole thing is one big distraction, which does nothing to help an already cluttered page. Luckily, there was a red "panic" button in the left corner, but clicking it took me to some strange marketing report on various electronic trends. I was certain reading this report would set off some subliminal alarm that would make me kill the president, so I read every single word. Twice.
Playing the Poker
Players Only Poker uses the EFS transaction system, which pays out quickly and pretty much accepts everything on the deposit side, even credit cards. I know, most poker sites say they do credit, but the transaction gets rejected. EFS, much like the Swiss and other banking aficionados, basically launder the money through other channels to circumvent the "no gambling" stigma attached to most credit banks. It's so delectably evil.
Poker tournament wise, Players Only Poker has supposedly a satellite to the 2005 World Series of Poker, but when I clicked on the Players Only Poker link for more information, it took me to a blank page. This is much like when I bought a magic carpet from a random stranger, who proceeded to take me to a closet, close the door and run. Of course, little did he know that the closet led to a magical world called Narnia. Nothing magical, however, came from clicking on this link.
Bonus and Poker Promos
A Players Only Poker girl in a pink bikini asks me to "Come see what I got for you." Well, apparently what she has to offer is a generous Players Only Poker 10% signup bonus, 5% reloads on Thursday. These are the same bonuses offered by most sportsbooks, but rarely seen on the poker scene.
Poker Service
Players Only Poker offers the trifecta of service, email, phone and live chat. The Players Only Poker email takes about four to eight hours for a reply and should be used only if you need an answer in four to eight hours (maybe you want to go to a basketball game, you'd be back in four hours exactly). Otherwise, phone and live chat would be the way to go. Most of the Players Only Poker phone reps can answer your basic to difficult questions, but are hardly outstanding.
Overall Poker Rating
In the end, Players Only Poker's use of sex and calling itself "The sexiest poker room on the internet" backfired when it was discovered that nobody cared. After all, if people want porn they can open up a new browser. It's not like Las Vegas where you have to make separate trips to the card table and the strip club. Therefore, the sex does nothing for the poker, which is ultimately ok.
