Full Review of Riva Poker (6.13)

Riva Poker online is another feather in the cap of the already successful Casino Riva. This UK-based, classy internet poker establishment brings the thrills of online poker to players in 6 European languages. Riva welcomes new players with financial perks, and satisfies rookies and veterans alike with its regular freeroll and big-money tournaments.

Bonuses and Promos

There's no shortage of reasons to test your poker skills at Riva's tables. In addition to customary sign-up promotions and generous first deposit match bonuses, clients may win referral credits if their friends join the action. Players with proven abilities may qualify for a shot at the major prizes to be won in exclusive Riva Poker events. Modest bonuses are regularly awarded just for downloading Riva's free poker software.

CPU-Fast Software

Speaking of software, Riva Poker is a client of a lesser-known but well-respected gaming software provider called CPU Fast. In business since 1997 and endorsed by independent testing company iTech Labs, CPU Fast supplies excellent graphics, high speed action, and cash security.

Riva's CPU Fast-powered poker games include:

• Texas Hold 'em
• Stud Poker
• Caribbean Poker
• 3-Card Poker

Riva's "Play for Fun" option lets new players brush up on their skills and poker knowledge before playing for cold hard cash, but still requires a software download. There's also a "Poker School" for studying rules and strategy. In "Real Mode" players have access to beginners' tables before moving on to serious-money games.

Customer Care

Riva prefers its customers to make contact via its 24/7 email service, but UK customers can choose to pay for a telephone call if they wish.

Licensing and Banking

Riva poker's European license, awarded in Malta, is a testament to its reliability. Riva uses high-performance encrypted software to guarantee cash protection, and accepts a number of internationally-valid credit cards, including MasterCard and Visa, as well as a selection of convenient Web Wallets.
