Sportsbook.com and Paradise Poker - The Poker Website
“If you want to be a shark, you first have to learn how to swim,” says hired shill and part time supermodel Caprice, another one of those annoying people with one name. Caprice is here to give us lessons, she says, like catching tells, bluffing and how to get money when you are an aging model by endorsing internet poker sites. Now that I’ve had my fill of this Caprice character, it’s time to analyze the poker site. Palm trees, check. Bikini models, double check. Actual poker, check.
Sportsbook.com and Paradise Poker Registering, Cashing and Playing Poker
Sportsbook.com deposit and withdrawal methods include NETeller, Switch/Maestro, FirePay, credit cards or money transfer. Although the transfer types are limited, the companies under the Sportingbet PLC umbrella, like Sportsbook.com poker, are generally easier to use than most other poker sites.
Sportsbook.com and Paradise Poker Games
As for the Sportsbook.com games, the Sportsbook.com site offers Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo, home poker games like 5 card stud and draw and even obscure poker games like crazy pineapple. There is no poker game you can’t play at Sportsbook.com.
Sportsbook.com and Paradise Poker Bonuses and Internet Poker Promos
Sportsbook.com referral bonuses are $50, as long as your buddy puts in $50 as well. That’s it for the bonuses. As for promotions, Sportsbook.com is offering a guaranteed 50K tournament every night. Buy-in is $30. Sportsbook.com also offers WSOP satellites and entry in to various in house poker tournaments.
Sportsbook.com and Paradise Poker Online Poker Service
Sportsbook.com has many service tools, from FAQ’s to website searches. These are in place not because the customer service department is lazy. No, it’s to limit idiotic callers who ask the same question over and over again. That and they’re lazy. Actually, I’m joking, because Sportsbook.com doesn’t even have a phone line. Nope. What Sportsbook.com does have is an email and replies are usually back within the first two hours.
Sportsbook.com and Paradise Poker Rating
Sportsbook.com offers every type of poker card game you can ask for. However, most people are only interested in playing one poker game, No limit Texas Hold’em. In this regard, Sportsbook.com offers a few satellites, and a daily 50K poker tournament, making them a fairly good poker site.
