PKR Poker Review

Review last updated on March 26, 2023

PKR Poker is one of the online poker world's greatest success stories. Since its launch in 2006, the poker room has attracted over 2 million poker players who visit it to play No Limit/Limit Texas Holdem Poker, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, No-Limit Stakes poker games ($0.01/$0.02 - $5-$10) and Limit Stakes poker games ($0.01/$0.02 - $100/$200) - all in 3D graphics. It is often referred to as "stunning."

3D Graphics tops the PKR Poker Room features. This means players can choose and customize their characters as real web avatars, their sex, clothes, emotions and more. Other highlights include a variety of playing modes and views and an active Freerolls & Tournaments schedule.

While the advanced graphics used to be a problem for slow computers, the minimum system requirements are easily reached by any computer and laptop today.

The mass popularity of the 3D poker room has the effect of drawing beginner poker players. Hence the level of competition is where it is - and the opportunities for the experienced player advantageous.

Players will find many flexible deposit and withdrawal methods at their disposal including credit cards and checks, Neteller and other online payment solutions.

24/7 customer service is excellent and will help inquires about games, deposits, and the software too.

Launched in 2006 and owned by PKR Ltd, PKR is a good source for poker action, as far as its auditor, GA, and Alderney, where it is licensed, are concerned PKR welcomes poker players with credentials, games and promotions.

In terms of software and graphics, PKR has left its rivals for dead. PKR has certainly gone that extra measure to make sure that your online poker experience is as close to real life as is absolutely possible. What makes PKR so unique is that it offers it entire game selection in 3D. This really is a whole new way to play poker online. While every computer in today's world should be able to cope with the system, a speedy internet connection will certainly help. You will also need a graphics card with at least 32MB of RAM. There are regular software updates. What you can do with the software seems almost limitless. Using the 'Heads Up Display', you can choose the angle of view, control your emotes (to laugh or clap for example) and select a mood to change your character's body language at the table. There is also even the option to create an avatar that looks just like you or any other person you may want to be. The number of options you have is almost insane! You have control over your voice, facial features, hair style, hats, sunglasses, clothes, shoes, football shirts, tattoos and piercing! And if you are more concerned about your game than your appearance, thankfully it is also easy to recall your hand history and to tag and write notes about other players. The site is available seven languages including English, French, Spanish, Dutch and German. On the downside, you are only allowed to play up to four tables simultaneously at PKR. The other games will appear conveniently as mini tables on the side of your screen.

PKR offers a good (but not the best) range of poker variants including the ever popular Texas Hold'em, Omaha and Omaha Hi-Low and offered in limit, pot limit and no limit. No matter your playing level, you will find the right table for your experience and bankroll as there is plenty of action at the micro levels all the way up to the high stakes for much more skilled players. There are also numerous ring games, sit n gos and scheduled tournaments throughout the day. The guaranteed tournaments are not as huge as you will find at some other poker rooms but are still a lot of fun. Every other Saturday there is the PKR Masters Champion with a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000. There is a direct buy in of $250 or you can try to qualify through one of the many satellites starting at just 60 cents. There is also a Bounty Tournament every Wednesday with a guaranteed $10,0000 prize pool. You will find that the sit and go's roll around the clock so you won't have to wait long and there are 12 daily freerolls for a chance to win prizes.
