Players Only Poker Room Review

Overview

Players Only is not just a poker room. It’s placing itself as a single stop gambling shop on the Internet. This site has it all: sports betting, a full online casino, horse racing, mobile gaming … and poker.

The fully functional poker room found at Players Only is part of the Cake Poker network. This means that when you log on, you’ll have access to action from anyone on the Cake network, not just those at Players Only – meaning you’ve got many more options for poker play.

Players Only is a legal establishment based in Antigua and Barbuda, where it is licensed and regulated. It’s been running successfully since 2006 – and accepts ONLY players from the USA.

Games and Software

The software that Players Only offers for download and install from its website was coded for them by Party Poker. It’s clean and functional, and you should have no trouble using it.

Most of the standard types of poker that you’d expect to play can be found here. Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo, 7-card Stud and 7-card Stud Hi/Lo, and many different Draw and Mixed games are on offer. Naturally, you’ll also find some pretty exciting Texas Hold’em going down as well.

Bonuses and Loyalty Programs

Players Only offers a decent welcome bonus for poker players, assuming you agree to only spend the bonus money in the poker room. You can’t, for instance, take the poker bonus and spend it betting on horses.

For poker, use the coupon code PLAYERS100 and you can claim a 100% deposit match, yielding up to $650 in free bonus money.

As part of this bonus, you’ll also automatically receive a seat in the weekly “Welcome Free roll” tournament where the prize pool is a guaranteed $500.

If you decide that you’d rather explore other areas of the site such as the sports book, race book and casino, then the bonus is limited to 10%.

If you want more bonuses, you can get an additional 10% on every reload by using an e-wallet solution to transfer funds into your casino account.

Payment Methods

There aren’t a huge number of payment options available at Players Only poker room, but the ones that are here are solid and don’t give trouble.

Fund your casino account using a bank wire, cash transfer or a major credit or debit card. Alternatively, you can use an Internet Payment Processor such as UseMyWallet, NETeller or Moneybookers to get cash in, which will also give you that automatic 10% boost we mentioned.

Safety and Customer Service

Players Only take the security of their customers’ details very seriously, and so they encrypt every bit of data that moves between your computer and theirs.

One highlight of playing here is that the customer support is excellent. There’s a detailed FAQ on the site, and email support if you have general queries. Beyond that, there are telephone numbers you can call for support any time of the day or night.
