Anyone play here? Any reviews?

Players on the iPoker network are terrible. There isn't much player traffic though (especially if you want to play Omaha or higher limits).

I am currently having some troubles getting them to release my initial deposit bonus so I have nothing positive to say about CS.

I agree that the players there are very bad, especially the Europeans. I haven't played at FairPoker but at some of the other sites on the network and did very well.

Not many full ring games in limit HE which is what I play. Usually 1-2 1/2 games and 1 2/4 game. Players are below average. My biggest complaint is that there isn't a way to track your bonus progress. You have to email their customer support and they will tell you where you are at with your raked hands.

games are pretty easy at 50c/$1 LHE and 25c/50c NL, though traffic starts to trail off at higher limits. usually about 500 players online which is enough to 3-table (and much easier now that the software allows separate windows).

unfortunately, the bonuses have gotten worse since the iPoker network first started. used to be that every skin had the same 25% up to $100 signup deal, 10x dealt raked hands non-contributed. now Noble Poker and CDpoker have switched to a "points" system which has a significantly lower clearing rate, while Fair Poker seems to now require contributed-raked hands which would not make it worthwhile either.

as for the remaining skins, the deal is technically still good but these are casino and sportsbook sites which don't have as much experience in poker customer service. I had to contact support Sports Interaction 3 times before they would release my withdrawal request, and currently I've been waiting close to 2 weeks for PlayGate to credit me my $100 bonus for $400 deposit, after they already confirmed with me long ago that I had played over 1000 raked hands. after I get that cleared up, I will try Diamond Club and Prestige (owned by the same parent company as Playgate) and hope it will work out better. USApoker and Poker770 are also worth a shot.

iPoker is definitely not as enticing as it was 6 months ago, but the smaller skins are still doable if you don't have any other bonuses going on for the month.

I did CD Poker before they changed to the points system and their customer support was frustrating. 3 times that I emailed them to see where I was with my bonus they gave me a raked hand total that was less than the time before. Each time I would have to email them and explain that my raked hand total should be higher and they would fix it. That's why I hate a software that doesn't show you your raked hands. Just seems like a recipe to get screwed. Not sure if the iPoker network all uses the same customer support but I've had similar dealings with Fair and my raked hands.
