GGPoker Review

Welcome Bonus

What a way to get started at GGPoker. The site will reward you with a 100% first deposit bonus worth up to £600, with your funds released in £10 increments across a period of up to 90 days. Any unused cash is taken from your account at the end of this time.

You’ll need to add a minimum of £10 to your account, although there aren’t any further wagering requirements to satisfy.

Registration

The registration process at GGPoker is the standard you would expect from any site of this nature. It’s a two-step process, the first of which requires you to enter personal information such as your country and date of birth.

The second step refers to your payment method, of which many different options are accepted (more on that in a moment).

It is quick and easy, and even verifying your account – achieved by uploading a form of ID via the website’s software – is a doddle.

Game Variety at GGPoker

As mentioned, GGPoker runs on the purpose-built Good Game network, which is widely regarded as one of the most reliable and popular around. You’ll usually find around 2,000 or more players online at peak times, which helps to keep tournaments well-funded and the tables busy.

The focus at GGPoker is on Hold’em and Omaha cash games and tournaments, with stacks of different options available every hour throughout the day and night. Stakes range from 0.05 to 50.00 per hand, with buy-ins at all levels suited to budget players and high rollers. There’s some pretty low rakes too, at 3% and 5% for Omaha and Texas Hold’em respectively.

As for guaranteed tournaments, this is where GGPoker really ups its game. It offers £100,000 in guarantees each and every day and these are doubled on a Sunday.

Competition Level

There’s a good mix of players at GGPoker and that means you can find a competition level to suit you.

The sharks and big fish are attracted to the site thanks to its big cash pots and variety of tournaments, but with such a handsome welcome bonus you can be sure there are plenty of players who are new to online poker frequenting the felt. Either way, you are sure to feel right at home.

Desktop/Mobile Experience

As a poker site that has been around for more than five years now, GGPoker has had the opportunity to refine the platform down to a fine art. The website is easy to navigate and contains all of the information you need about games, promotions, tournaments and much more besides.

But the main attraction is the desktop software, which we have found to be one of the most efficient around. Finding tournaments is a breeze; you can get a seat at a table without any fuss whatsoever. What’s more, you’ll enjoy the layout and visuals in-game, which help to make the experience all the more immersive.

Payments and Banking

Most players from across the world have the opportunity to deposit and withdraw funds using their Visa debit and, in many cases Maestro, and the usual suspects as far as e-wallets are concerned – PayPal, Skrill, Neteller and paysafecard – are present.

Those with the appropriate funds can even deposit and withdraw using their bitcoin stash! You will find that deposits are processed instantaneously, while withdrawals can take up to 24 hours to be processed – how long it takes for your funds to hit your account depends on the individual payment provider.
