Victory Poker Review

While Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars have hogged the lime light for the last couple of years, Victory Poker’s launch in February 2010 completely changed the ball park. Victory Poker updated their old software on the Everleaf network by moving to the US-friendly Cake Network (now the 12th largest poker network on the internet) on September 2010. This not only increased traffic but also led to a non-downloadable version for users to play in their browsers. What’s more, Victory Poker have several big names attached to their brand including Antonio “The Magician” Esfandiari, David “The Maven” Chicotsky and Dan “Blitz” Bilzerian. Overall, Victory Poker provides a reliable poker room with excellent customer service, Award winning software and a massive Victory Poker Bonus.

Victory Poker Bonus

The Victory Poker Bonus offers new depositors a massive 110% up to $600 bonus. The Victory Poker Bonus is released in $5 increments for every 83.3 FPP (frequent player points) that you earn in cash games or MTTs. With regards to how easy it is to earn frequent player points, you’ll receive 1 FPP for ever $1 raked in cash games and 7 FPPs for each $1 in tournament fees. You can view the state of your Victory Poker Bonus by going to the cashier. Another good thing is that unlike other poker rooms, Victory Poker gives you a whole 90 days before the bonus expires.

If you’re signing up for a Victory Poker Rakeback Account, you can receive a whole 33% rakeback from all of the cash games and tournaments that you enter. To sign up for Victory Poker Rakeback you need to make sure that you type in the right Victory Poker Bonus Code when you make your first deposit.

Victory Poker Games

Victory Poker’s move from the Everleaf to Cake Network meant that players had a larger selection of games and tournaments to enter. NLH ring games are available from $.01/$.02 and can go as high as $100/$200. As long as you’re playing mid-stakes games or below than you shouldn’t have a problem finding a game. For the tournament lovers among you, Victory Poker runs MTTs from $1 up to $100. One of the best things about playing at Victory Poker is the huge range of promotions and weekly competitions that they run. Victory Poker is the only poker room where you can actually win a date to party with Playmate Sarah Underwood, plus they run other innovative promotions including “Two for the Money”, “Chat with a Model”, “Gold Card Rewards Schemes” (which allows you to exchange FPPs and Gold Cards for tournament entry and merchandise in the shop) and satellites to the Aussie Millions Main Event.

Victory Poker Software

Since updating to the Cake Poker Network, Victory Poker’s were greatly improved. The lobby layout, which is composed of green, red and black colours, allows you to filter out specific games according to structure, stakes and players. You can find upcoming scheduled tournaments, satellites and freerolls in the tournament section. Unfortunately the table software doesn’t allow you to choose or upload avatars, but it does include all other features such as chat mode, animations, multi-tabling and the ability to turn on/off the dealer voice.

Customer Service and Depositing

Victory Poker offers 24/7 email support which you can contact at support@VictoryPoker.com.

Although the UIGEA 2006 made it difficult for US players to deposit in online poker, Victory Poker does offer a number of instant deposit methods including VISA, MasterCard, Bank Transfer, Neteller, Moneybookers, Bank Wire, Diners Club International, American Express and more. Minimum deposits at Victory Poker start from $25.

For withdrawing your funds, Victory Poker offers all of the above methods (minimum withdrawal of $25). Unfortunately, if you are withdrawing with a Check there is a minimum of $500 with a $35 withdrawal fee.

Cake Poker are operating great software that really pushes the boundaries of two dimensional game play, with the need to take their software one dimension further they feel that they want to improve the members game play experience even more. Graphics on have been compared to those used on PokerRoom.com but not to be left within the shadows of the larger poker room, Cake Poker have worked hard to offer more variance in their graphical representation on a number of levels. Although when you look at the poker room’s software lobby for the first time it can seem to be a little heavy on the eye and look like it could be hard to navigate, it soon becomes second natural after you give the layout a try. All the usual features of an online poker room are there too, the online notepad, the player representive avatars and the ability to select which seat you wish to occupy at any poker game you wish to join.
