Besides its Casino section, the Purple Lounge website also offers a dedicated Poker room with the same secure environment for avid players of the game. Members can benefit from exclusive promotions and compete in regular tournaments and freerolls against thousands of other players vying for the huge winnings offered.
Promotions and bonuses
New members of Purple Lounge Poker are welcomed with a 100% match-up bonus of up to $250 on their very first deposit. Eager players who make their first deposit within 24 hours after setting up their accounts are rewarded with an additional $10, as well. Moreover, those who help build the community by referring friends to the site net a $25 bonus, too.
Purple Lounge Poker offers a great mix of tournament types to provide their players numerous opportunities to win big. Monthly Rake Races split a $50,000 prize among the top 75 raked hands and the top 10 VIP point earners. Winnings go from a paltry $10 to a generous $8,500. A Leaderboard page keeps tabs on those in the running for a share of the prize, as well.
Rounders Tournaments with a unique play structure are present also. The tournament is divided into three campaigns, each with designated buy-in rates and grand prizes. Depending on the campaign type, the top players can bag prizes with amounts from €250 to €2250.
Weekly €100,000 Guarantee Tournaments are present, as well, with several qualifiers running until the game’s finals on Sundays.
Besides these tournaments, the site also holds daily and weekly freerolls, with winnings of up to €200.
Casino's Games
Purple Lounge Poker offers several variants of the game to its players. These include the classic Texas Hold’em, Omaha, 5 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud. Instructions on how the various games are played are available as well, for those who wish to learn them.
Safety and security
Members of the site can rest assured that they will be playing in an environment where their credit cards and identity information remain secure. Purple Lounge Poker is protected by Trustwave’s trusted commerce program; and it has been reviewed by eCOGRA and is certified as a safe and fair site, as well. Links to the reviews made by the two agencies are provided, also, for the added reassurance of its members. Moreover, Purple Lounge Poker supports responsible gambling. The site bars minors from participating and provides self-exclusion services for problem gamblers.
Support
Purple Lounge Poker provides a useful FAQ page for any questions its members might have about the software, their accounts, or withdrawal and depositing methods. A separate section also provides instructions on how the various poker games are played, as well as explanations of some commonly-used poker terms.
Should the information provided in these sections prove lacking in addressing one’s concerns, the site’s customer service team is also available for assistance, and may be reached through live chat or email. The live chat option, however, is only available from Monday to Friday, between 9am and 1am British Standard Time.
Language
English is the only language available for Purple Lounge Poker, as it is the only one displayed on its languages tab in the homepage.
However, other reviews of the site list Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Hungarian, Romanian and German as other language options –though links to these versions of Purple Lounge Poker don’t seem to work, and most lead back to the default English version. Curiously, the link to the German version of the site seems to be an exception, as it does function to a certain degree. Several pages are in German, although many more are in English.
US Players
Unfortunately, Purple Lounge Poker cannot accept players who are residents of the United States at this time.
