Winner Poker Review

Winner Poker is a growing online poker site which only launched in 2009. Despite this they have rapidly grown and are enjoying great success on the iPoker network with over 30,000 players at the tables regularly. Another fantastic feature about Winner.com is that not only are they an online poker room, they also have casino and bingo – which means lots of fish and beginner players. With a fantastic 100% up to $500 welcome bonus, soft cash games, and an extensive poker tournament schedule; it is no wonder Winner Poker has become so popular in such a short space of time.

Software

As we have mentioned, Winner Poker is on the iPoker Network who have their software provided by one of the gaming industry leaders – PlayTech. The software comfortably supports thousands of players with no lag and it can also support up to 16 tables at once. The software does provide avatars for each player, however there is a lack of variety and these become very repetitive. The lobby is also very easy to navigate and provides vital statistics for game selection such as viewed-flop percentage, average pot size and hands played per hour. The biggest drawback of the Winner Poker software is the time limit each player is allowed, with many people consider it too much time - which ruins their game and frustrates them.
