Paradise review?

What do you guys think of Paradiseasfaras fishiness, bonus, and traffic for cash games? Getting fed up w Pacific software but am looking for a "second fishiest site."

Thanks

I started my poker career at Paradise, so it has a warm place in my heart. That being said, I find the games that I play there to be good (NL50-NL200). The software is a little slower than UB or Stars, but not horrible like Absolute or Pacific. I'd put it a notch below Party, but better looking IMO. One of the major drawbacks is that you can only play 3 tables at once.

I'd say give it a shot and if you don't like it you can always take your money out and go somewhere else.

Oh and what game/limit do you play?

Hey thanks a lot for the review. I play NL 50-100 currently as that is all my Bankroll allows. how would you say the competition rates as compared to Party and Pacific? Loose, tight, passive, aggresive? Thanks man

The bonus is pretty decent and the games are pretty loose passive.

I gotta add that the cashout is extremely quick. At least I got one in less than 6 hours today. Also, there is no expiration on the bonii.

It's really good. Get RB if you can.

Its bonus is pretty good, although their reloads aren't that frequent. Game quality is OK, not as good as Party, but better than Absolute, Cryptos and Ultimate Bet.

Game selection isn't so hot though, the software is AWFUL (some of the slowest on the net) and their customer support is pretty bad. Worse than Party IMO.

It should be known, if you transfer $25 from Paradise to sportsbook for the first time, they will instantly give you an extra $25 on sportsbook. You can then instantly send your original $25 back. To unlock the $25 on Sportsbook, you just have to make wagers totaling $25.

So not bad for some free cash.

like was stated above, software is terrible. Its a miracle if the wait list works. I've only played limit when clearing the bonus and the players for the most part are pretty sad. Check it out and see if you can handle the software.
