Everest Poker is one of the up and coming poker rooms that we think has the potential to be one of the very best poker rooms online today. With a little marketing and promotion, the room should become one of the more played internet poker rooms. Everest Poker prides itself on the fact it is a multi-lingual poker room. While many rooms offer various languages, Everest Poker seems to appeal to various people from around the globe taking care to ensure language is never a barrier.
Everest Poker has taken great steps accomadate players from across the world after the U.S ban. Beacuase of its international approach Everest Poker has not been heavily effected, it is still rapidly growing and player volume has reached very respectable numbers.
The software at Everest Poker is truly exceptional. Empowered by Grand Virtual Technology, this software company has been a force in the virtual world since 1997. Everest Poker chose Grand Virtual Technology so they could bring one of the more innovative software packages to the world of online poker.
The gaming graphics are good and the software offers smooth transitioning. The software provides players (in their selected language) good player options such as statistical viewing and information about each played hand with appropriate percentages for the flop detailed as well as other history. The player avatars are nice and allow players to project an image through their player avatar.
The software is updated regularly to ensure players are able to capture a secure download as well as a good, functional game whenever they want to play online poker. Everest Poker and Grand Virtual bring to the poker game an unusual and pretty website with sleek features.
Everest Poker has features found at no other gaming destination, like their exclusive Training Room where you can learn how to play holdem poker free against automated trainers. This is perfect for beginners who will have the chance to understand game controls and the flow of play so they can take on other holdem poker players with more confidence and enjoyment.
Everest Poker offers a sign up bonus of $100. Players who are depositing into their real money account can open up an account and receive their bonus to play in ring games or tournaments. Additionally, a refer-a-friend bonus will capture a player $50 immediately upon the depositing friend’s initial bonus into their new Everest Poker account.
Freerolls and other player promotions ensure a player is able to capture their share of the prize pools reserved for new and current players. Players discover a good deal of promos throughout their time spent on the web at Everest. The poker room offers ongoing fun tournaments and promotions which are sure to catch the attention of all poker fans.
The deposit options and withdrawal options are good at Everest Poker. Players find the room offers a good assortment of internet wallet options as well as credit cards, bank draft options, and other choices. NeTeller or a bank transfer seems to be the only withdrawal choices available at this time.
Soft competition is to be expected. In the low stakes game, a skilled player can easily sweep the table without very much effort. However, the viewed flop percentages is only around 40% which would be indicative of a tighter game when compared to some of the newer rooms online today. This is actually very low when compared to the average of around 65% which is typical of most of the other rooms online with soft game competition. Still, at peak times, Everest Poker will top the 60% flop percentage but for the most part, it remains under 40%.
The game variety is okay but not outstanding at this time. The Hold’em games are very good with an offering of pot-limit, no-limit, and limit games available. Players can play in tournaments, sit-n-go tourneys, heads-up, and ring games to mix things up a bit.
Support is disappointing at this poker room. While Everest Poker only provides support by e-mail, it should be more user friendly if they are going to market the language-friendly website. Further, we found the customer service to be very slow when compared to other rooms. Since we like the software and many aspects of the poker room, we would love to see the customer service make a very big effort in the area of customer support. After all, the room will need to show the player is at center focus in order to continue building its client base. Without the effort, players probably won’t stick around at this room.
Everest Poker is a poker room that will appeal to many different players. The software should lure in a lot of players who want to find a poker room that offers a very unusual poker playing atmosphere. This is what we liked about Everest; it is not ordinary and offers players the ability to find a new playing environment with clean, sleek, software not found in every other poker room. Additionally, we found it very functional when compared to other software platforms.
The poker room does need to step up their marketing and promotions a notch. If they don’t, then players will not know where to find them or very much about their poker room. Everest Poker could be a strong contender in the marketplace eventually but right now, the executives need to step it up with advertising so the players they have will still be around by the time new players join to check out the room.
We were somewhat disappointed with the game choice at this poker room. With rooms like Ultimate Bet and Doyle’s Room offering our favorite games—Badugi and Pineapple Poker, we probably wouldn’t be happy at this room very long. Since this room is still relatively new, perhaps the executives will do their homework and discover what it is that players want so they can meet up to the challenge and make sure the players have the games they want to play when they want to play them. Ring games and tournament game selection both need to see some improvement.
Everest Poker has potential. It should be a choice site right now for the beginner. However, it probably won’t be a very good selection for the more seasoned player at this time.
