Sportsbook Poker is part of a group of Sportsbook gaming/gambling sites. Others are devoted to casino games, horse racing, and more.
Please note that you might need to send in some documents as proof of ID, etc. You will need to have access to a reasonably good scanner, as all the writing in the scanned image of your paperwork must be legible.
Promotions and bonuses
This site has several promo offers/programs. Newcomers get freerolls an bonuses. There is also a VIP Program with five tiers: Green, Bronze, Gold, Silver, and Platinum. You can use your points to get into tournaments, or even go shopping with them at the site’s VIP store. Upgrading between tiers is automatic, so you do not have to do troublesome paperwork once you have earned the necessary points.
Casino's Games
This site is, of course, all about poker. However, that does not mean that it is vacuous or dull, as some novices might believe. The site focuses on organizing tournaments between its players, and also contains guides to help you better your skills at the game. Furthermore, such is the complexity of tournament-style poker that it is actually not all that rare to see a whole site that is about poker and nothing else.
Safety and security
Thankfully, this site does set out its privacy policy in great detail. This places it above other sites, which just make simplistic, exaggerated statements about keeping your information totally safe. Such claims are not very believable, and anyway, the operation of a gambling site (the use of cookies, sending of notices, etc.) certainly complicates a confidentiality/privacy policy. Your information is protected with 128-bit encryption while in transit and shielded behind a firewall while in “storage.”
Support
Apparently, this site has so many information pages that you will need to use the engine to find what you need. Then again, this is by no means a bad thing—better a lot of detailed information than vague, near-useless statements that all fit on one page. If you have a query that is probably relatively common, you might want to try searching for an answer in the site’s text first. If that does not work, you can still contact the site staff on the telephone, through email, or via live chat.
Like other good gambling establishments do these days, this site shows a sense of responsibility—or at least, was made by people who know that they are expected to display nominal responsibility. Players cannot be under 18 years old. Sportsbook Poker offers a self-assessment test to help you determine if you have a gambling problem, as well as contact information for organizations that can help you if necessary.
Language
English seems to be this site’s only language option—a fact that will decrease its edge against its competitors. The site’s owners might want to consider (if they are not working on it already) adding more language choices.
US Players
Players based in the US will face restrictions in trying to set up an account here. Sadly, they are not welcome.
