Full review of Fair Poker


Summary (5.88)
Fair Poker is a relatively new poker room that boasts a nice layout, good graphics and some unique special features. Fair Poker is part the of iPoker network, using PlayTech software. The focus is on Texas Holdem games and there is a good spread of players at cash games up to middle limits and good volume of sit and go tournaments up to middle limits as well. Serious poker players will find easy-to-beat games at Fair Poker, as lots of beginners with questionable skill are filling up the tables. The EXCLUSIVE $200 sign-up bonus at 100% match is an excellent deal and only PokersListings’ players are eligible.

Software and graphics (6)
Fair Poker is part of iPoker networking, sharing software and player base with other PlayTech licensees. The Fair Poker software has excellent graphics and the playability is also good. The standard features are there; percentage of players seeing the flop, hands played per hour and average pot size, buddy lists, game history function, player notes, lots of options for music/sounds/graphics/etc, live floor managers and all types of tournaments. One unique feature offered is the player search tool, which can be used to locate your favorite players. The availability of casino games and poker in the same client enables players to take a break from the poker table by playing video poker or blackjack if they so desire.

Ring game traffic (4)
Fair Poker and the iPoker network have mostly low limit games running, with approximately 400-600 real money players during peak hours in July 2005.

Tournament traffic (5)
During peak hours there are approximately 1000-1200 tournament players at Fair Poker in July 2005.

Game variety (4)
The game variety is sub-standard, as the site only offers Texas Hold’em, Omaha and tournament play. The games mostly concentrate on low limit Texas Hold’em. The highest limits at the fixed limit tables are $10/$20, which are very low. They offer a wide range of tournaments, most with low buy-ins although they all have guaranteed prize pools.

Rake (6)
There is no rake on the micro limit tables, and they start raking the pots on $0.25/$0.50 tables and over. They follow a "no flop, no drop" policy, and they rake $0.05 from every dollar up to a maximum of $3. This is a bit higher than industry standards at the lower limits, where the rake is generally capped at $1 or $2.

Soft competition (8)
The games are very loose at Fair Poker, although most games boast low limits and the percentage of players who see the flop averages at around 40%-60%.

Sign up bonus (8)
World-exclusive sign-up bonus for PokersListings users with 100% deposit match up to $200 sign-up bonus for first time depositors. Standard promotion is 25% deposit match up to $100 bonus. 7.5 raked hands per bonus dollar is required to clear the bonus. There is no posted time limit to reach the required hands. In order to clear the maximum bonus of $200 you need to have deposited $200 and then play 1500 raked hands. Note that the bonus needs to be claimed by emailing the support team rakedhands@fairpoker.com once you have reached your raked hands requirement. You can always email support and ask about your raked hands status.

Loyalty bonus (2)
Currently, there is no loyalty bonus (but occasional promotions based on prior player activity)

Promotions (7)
Fair Poker hosts daily freerolls and many guaranteed prize pool tournaments. The most notable type of promotion are the "jackpot sit and go tournaments" where players get big jackpots for winning several consecutive tournametns. For example, Fair Poker offers a $25,000 prize for every player who wins six consecutive “Sit’ N’ Go” tournaments.

Support (7)
Support can be reached 24/7 by telephone, live chat or e-mail.

Financial security (8)
Fair Poker is part of the IOG group, which has a very solid reputation. Still, as a brand new room without any history in dealing with customers we give just a good score.

Deposit & withdrawal options (8)
Deposit: credit card, NETeller, Instacash, Ondemandfunds, Moneybooker and Firepay. Withdrawal: bank draft, wire transfer, Firepay, Moneybookers, NETeller, Ecocard, Click2pay and Instadebit.
