PKR review

PKR burst onto the online poker scene a few years ago, having adopted an entirely new approach to elbow itself a place in the already saturated market. PKR came up with an online poker client that would equal some of the high end computer games of those days, as far as graphics and playability were concerned. By doing so, PKR has quite literally bridged the gap between online and live poker. The fully 3D player avatars at PKRs tables would act out certain gestures. In order to take a second look at your hole cards, you literally had to have your avatar take a peek at the cards, a move which your opponents could see. In addition to that, avatars can act out a whole range of other gestures as well, and they can even be taught new chip tricks.

Because of the fancy graphics and gameplay, and because of the large scale a-campaign it ran after its launch, PKR became a magnet for first time players, attracted by the promises of realistic play and never before seen eye candy. To this day, the competition at PKR is extremely juicy. A good player can quite literally abuse the majority of his opponents without fear of retaliation.

The sign-up bonus offered by PKR is a 100% match on player deposits, up to a maximum of $800. In order to secure the bonus, all players have to do is to open an account and to make a deposit. The bonus has to be redeemed through real money play, and players have 60 days to do it.
