Aced Poker Review

Aced Poker Poker Room Review

Overview

Aced Poker was founded last year, making it one of the newer online poker sites out there. However, it’s part of the Merge Network, whose membership includes Carbon Poker, so it’s in extremely good company. The other direct benefit to players of it being part of Merge is the increased competition you find – guaranteed action any time of day or night.

Aced Poker is a legal operation based in Aruba, and is licensed and regulated by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.

Games and Software

Aced Poker runs on software provided by the Merge Network, which is slick, fast, and graphically smooth. You can download and install the software off their web page with ease – the entire process from the time you click the button to the time you hit the poker tables should be less than 5 minutes, including download time.

Most of the top forms of poker are played here. You’ll find Texas Hold’em, many variants of Omaha, Stud Poker in straight, Hi/Lo and Razz forms, and HORSE. You will also find more exotic poker such as 5 card draw, Badugi and Triple Draw.

At any given time you’ll find a huge number of open tables where you can play heads up, or sit and go, or sign up for a single or multi table tournament.

Bonuses and Loyalty Programs

Want a decent welcome bonus? Aced Poker has one. Sign up for a new account and toss some cash into it, and they’ll match whatever you deposit, up to $500. It isn’t credited automatically, rather you have to claim it using the coupon code ACED100.

Also, it doesn’t arrive in your account all at once. The more you play at the tables, the more VIP points you earn, which gradually unlocks the bonus a piece at a time. Personally I like this approach, I think it’s much more fair than playthrough requirements.

Additionally there’s a 100% reload bonus, yielding up to $200 available every time you put cash into your account, should you choose to claim it.

Beyond that, the site has many specials and download promotions such as guaranteed prize pool free rolls, and a Four Of A Kind Aces rule: if you win a hand with quad aces, you’ll receive a special bonus of 40x whatever the big blind currently is.

Payment Methods

Aced Poker accepts just about any form of money you choose to shove in their direction. They will accept most forms of credit and debit cards, as well as bank wires and cash transfers.

If you are more comfortable using an Internet Payment Processor, you’ll find that they take most of the majors. You can deposit funds using Click2Pay, ClickandBuy, EcoCard, EntroPay, eWalletXpress, Fonelinx, Moneybookers, NETeller, Pic-club.com and eChecks.

Safety and Customer Service

The Merge Network software that Aced Poker runs has been secured by Thawte, the foremost security company in the world. You need have no worries about the safety of your personal information at Aced Poker.

Customer support is currently only offered via email, but is available around the clock. There is also a detailed FAQ on the Aced Poker website which should answer most questions.
