Poker Time

Perfect for no limit low stakes games, Poker Time is a poker rooms that is of medium size. Their signup bonus, although with a catch is quire revolutionary. They offer a 1000 dollar bonus for a person that makes an initial deposit of 20 dollars or more.

Poker Time’s software is user friendly, quick and generally a decent software to play with. One thing however stands in the way of the software from being perfect – its software provider called PrimaPoker. PrimaPoker is known to have extremely rigid and strict security rules which may be good for safety of information etc, but can also be annoying.

Bonus
Like mentioned earlier, the 1000 dollar bonus that Poker time offers is very attractive. The more a player earns Bonus redemption points, the more bonus money a person gets. Players have a limit of 90 days after the payment of the initial deposit to earn the maximum bonus money Poker time offers. Like in many other online casinos, bonus codes can be applied here as well that will make you get more bonuses. You will find them on the internet.

Promotions
Insane bonuses are not the only thing Poker time offers; there are many promotions on offer too. The bad beat jackpot and magic hand bonus are the most famous. Freerolls and Rounders tournaments are held often too.

Competition
When it first began, Poker Time’s difficulty level was very easy but it has gotten considerably harder ever since. The no limit games are much more popular here than the limit games.

Games
Some of Poker time’s ring games include Texas Hold’em, 7 stud, Omaho, 5 stud etc.

Tournaments:
There are many tournaments that Poker time hosts and they are of different natures. Poker time hosts plenty of Poker tournaments daily every month. They also host Freeroll poker tournaments daily and bigger poker tournaments once every week. All the information about the tournaments are given clearly on their official website.

Withdrawals:
Withdrawals of money earned can be extremely quick taking as little as two days and maximum of 3 days. However, like in many other online poker rooms, ID and proof of address is required to authorize dispatch.

Customer Support
The customer care that Poker Time provides is fairly decent. Phone calls are answered all most immediately and the customer support team is generally polite and knowledgeable. However, sometimes you may need to be rerouted to the PrimaPoker customer support team, which can be a disaster. What is more annoying with PrimaPoker is that they have the final say with regard to player account matters. However, thankfully withdrawals and bonuses are handled by the Poker Time customer support team.

A Past Issue
There is one thing however that jeopardizes Poker time’s overall status. Since it is run by PrimaPoker, many people do not like to join this poker room due to past experiences. There have been many cases where players were unfairly banned from playing on any of the PrimaPoker managed poker rooms and they did not give any reason whatsoever for doing so. However, one consolation that prevented people from filing a lawsuit was that almost all the players got the money they earned back.
They however, have unbanned many people after a few years and people are slowly starting to come back to PrimaPoker games but the memory of the unfair banning still lives on.

Generally nowadays, PrimaPoker locks accounts with the money in it only if the player has supplied wrong or conflicting information, but if you are honest and truthful, the things that happened in the past would not haunt you this time around.
