The New Online Poker Kid on the Block
Poker World is a fairly new online poker site, established in February 2004. While Poker World has relatively low traffic, word on the internet street is that because of the low traffic, the weekend Freeroll Double Shot is easy to win.
Poker World offers free online poker games, which make it easy for a newbie to learn the popular Texas Hold 'em poker. The Poker World "Getting started" section has lots of information about how to play poker online as well as poker lingo definitions, making this online poker site a great place to learn poker rules. The Poker World table favors function over form, but is fairly easy to use nonetheless. Poker World touts itself as "The friendliest cardroom on the net," and as far as customer service goes, they are indeed. Poker World offers live chat support 24/7, making any question just a few easy clicks away.
Online Poker for Experienced Players Too
Poker World is not only for the newbie online poker player. If you are an experienced online poker high roller, check out their High Rollers Club and their regular $10/$20 game with a built-in rakeback. Win the most money on the High Rollers Club online poker table on weekdays and you'll instantly win $500 cash (after minimum $350 raked hands to qualify).
Deposits and Withdrawals
Poker World offers a 50% deposit bonus on initial deposit up to $100, (minimum $25 deposit to qualify). For withdrawals, players are required to play at least 100 hands before cashing out, otherwise "Deposit and withdrawal processing fees" apply. One interesting feature Poker World offers is player to player transfers between Poker World accounts.
