Everest Poker Review

A new French based site, that has been catapulted into the limelight since it’s native sponsored player, Antoine Saout, claimed 3rd place and over $3,500,000 in prize money. Being a youngish poker room, not accepting US players and the fact it is not part of any network you would think Everest Poker is not worth the time of day. You would be wrong, the site has seen an exceptional boom in recent years, with over 15,000 active players, making it one of the biggest non network affiliated rooms in Europe.

This due to a large amount of cash games, at a range of buy in levels (some with blinds as low as 0.02 cents) and varied tournament schedule (with great tournaments such as the 100k guaranteed at a buy in of 100$, down to a number of $3, $5, and $11 buy ins).  Play generally remains tight at the lower stakes cash games, which is good for the aggressive player who know how to play position well. If you are just starting out in the game, Everest is great place to play as most of the games are so soft, that it can make practicing the game are much more enjoyable experience.

There is an improved bonus program, which credits your account as you accumulate player points, so the more you play the more you earn. Along with sign up and deposit matching bonuses. The site is mainly aimed towards the European player with language support offered in 16 different languages. They have recently made a concerted effort in improving the software which is now faster, more playable and pleasing on the eye. Customer service is done through email, with very prompt responses, you can also submit your claim in any of the 16 languages.Cashing out is easy and I’ve never had any problems myself, unfortunately the number of banking methods is limited with not too many options beyond Neteller.
