Purple Lounge review

Purple Lounge is a Microgaming poker room, which offers an excellent loyalty scheme. Its “Quintessentially” club offers its members some pretty stiff benefits. Purple Lounge benefits of excellent network wide traffic from Microgaming. There are around 2,000 players at its cash tables at peak hours and around 10,000 at its tournament tables.
The game selection is fairly standard: there’s Holdem, Omaha and 7-Card stud in all imaginable formats and betting structures.
The software that Purple Lounge uses is a little dated, but if it’s not eye-candy you’re after, it’ll do just fine. It is a customized version of the Microgaming software. The buttons are customizable and the hands can be replayed in a graphic interface.
Multi tabling is available at 8 tables simultaneously. Mini table views are meant to make life easier for multi-tablers.
The competition at Purple Lounge is mixed. There are some pretty juicy tables though if one knows where to look for them. Short handed and turbo games are where the action’s at its juiciest. The flops viewed percentages can be as high as 55% at these tables.

The sign-up bonus offered by Purple Lounge is a 100% match on player deposits, up to $250. In order to get their hands on the bonus, players need to download the free software and they have to create an account. Once that’s done, they can make their fist deposits. The bonus money lands in bonus accounts, so players have to generate poker points at the real money tables in order to redeem the bonus.
Each bonus dollar takes 20 raked hands to unlock. In order to redeem a $10 batch, you need 200 raked hands.
