There are loads of poker rooms on the web for you to play at and with so many factors involved this can be a difficult choice. Don’t rush to a poker room just because it has a massive bonus or rakeback deal. Take a bit of time to look through some of the other things the room has to offer.

I have listed some of the most important things to consider below when you are deciding where to play poker online.

Rakeback – The first thing I look for in a poker room is rakeback, if it doesn’t offer rakeback then I don’t play there unless it offers an excellent VIP program. Rakeback is guaranteed extra cash in your account every month and can be a big boost if you go on a bad run.

Traffic – Another important factor to consider is traffic. It’s one thing getting a rakeback deal of 50% every month but if there are only 50 players on the entire poker room then it’s pointless.

Software – The software that a poker room uses has to be fast and reliable. The last thing you want when your holding aces pre flop is for the software to freeze and fold you out of the game!

Graphics – Sometimes you will be staring at tables and cards for hours on end so make sure the software isn’t too straining on your eyes or so ugly it puts you on tilt.

Find a room that suits your needs and gives you what you want. Just because a poker room is popular or offers high rakeback doesn’t mean its right for everyone. Find a room that has the best deal for you and that you feel comfortable playing at.

Remember you don’t have to stick to one room, I like to split my bankroll between two or three rooms and switch every week or two just to break it up.

Which Is The Best Poker Room?

You can’t really go wrong with any of the rooms that are listed above. Simply chose a room that appeals to you the most and offers what you are looking for. There are a lot of good poker rooms around but there are two poker rooms for me that stand out above the rest.

Pokerstars is the largest online poker room and has been for a few years now. This is my first choice for playing online because the traffic is huge, the software is fast and smooth and the rewards can be just as good as rakeback if you play enough.
