Choosing the best European online poker room for you
As you can see we have listed 10 online poker rooms as the best Euro poker sites for 2011. This is simply because what might be the best site for one poker player might not be it for another poker player. We hope that the below 5 questions will help you to determine which one of these sites is the best one for you. Naturally all of the above are honest poker sites and based on everything that we know offer fair online poker games.
Do you want to play online poker for euros or US dollars? Out of the 10 online poker rooms listed above all except for 888 Poker, offers internet poker in Euros. So if you are looking to play Euro Texas Holdem poker or any other Euro poker game online you can choose from any of the above sites. Obviously they are also our picks for the “best euro poker site” in 2011.
On the other hand, if you prefer to play Texas Holdem and other poker games for US Dollars you should choose either 888 Poker or Bwin.
Do you prefer poker tournaments or cash games? Out of our recommended internet poker rooms 888 and William Hill have by far the best online poker tournament schedule. This means that they have the most tournaments and also the best guaranteed prize pools, as well as the bigger tournaments.
Would you like to play Texas Holdem, Omaha poker or some other games such as razz, Stud or even Telesina? All of the above internet poker sites have excellent Texas Holdem action in both fixed limit and no limit games, however when it comes to pot limit Omaha and other games 888 poker is far ahead of the other two sites. So in other words if you are more into non Texas Holdem games we believe that 888 is the best poker room online for you.
Would you like to get an instant poker bonus or a bigger bonus you have to wait for? Every single one of these internet poker rooms offers a nice first deposit bonus, however LuckyAcePoker is the only one that offers an instant deposit bonus. This means that when you make a deposit to your online poker account they right away add extra free cash on top of that. The instant bonus offered by them is 25% up to $100 (so for maximum bonus you should deposit at least $400). The other two sites offer bigger bonuses but they won’t be released till you have filled the clearing requirements (for the terms and conditions please refer to their sites).
Which deposit method you would like to use for funding your poker account? You can deposit with credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) and debit cards (Visa Electron, Maestro), bank wire, Moneybookers and Neteller to all of the above poker rooms. However if you would like to deposit with PaySafeCard or WebMoney we recommend NoiQ poker and if you would like to deposit with PayPal, Ukash, ClickAndbuy or EntroPay the best poker room for you is in our opinion 888.
Definition of “European Poker Site”
In order for an online poker site to be listed on our site as an “European poker site” it has to fill several criteria. First of all, the poker room in question has to be operated from inside Europe. Secondly, it has to have a poker license from an EU country. Thirdly, it has to accept players from the majority of European countries. Last but not least, it has to be possible to deposit in Euros, pounds and in other popular European currencies to the online poker room in question. It goes without saying that we also only list honest, high quality poker sites.
About EuropeanPokerSites.org:
The idea for this website came from the realization that there aren’t any poker related websites that focus exclusively online poker from a European point of view. So, what we aim to do with this site is to bring you the best package of information about playing online poker on European sites. We will also publish high quality poker strategy articles as well articles and news about the poker business. However, we are not going to focus on things such as live poker tournament results and different poker players, this is simply because there are already excellent resources (such as card player) for those things.
