|
Cake Poker is the largest poker room on the Cake Poker Network. The Cake Poker room is open to US players even after the UIGEA and this together with a strong European player base makes it possible for you to find good action at the poker tables no matter what day or time you feel like playing. US friendly poker rooms are also known for having a high fish factor which couldn’t be more true in the case of Cake Poker. Here you will find all types of fishy players, from the regular fish to the crazy calling station that is just dying to give away his cash.
Software
The Cake Poker software is really one of the best on the internet today. The software is fast and easy to download to your computer and you will not having any problems installing it as it is a really simple process. The only downside to the software is that it is not available as a non download version yet which can create some problems for Mac users.
The software is a really important part of the online poker experience and Cake Poker have managed to make a great software that is easy to navigate and it does not overload your computer even though it has a lot of nice functions. You can choose one of the many avatars that you want to be shown when you sit down at the table and these look really realistic, it almost feels as you are in a real poker room.
A small minus to this software is the fact that you are not able to adjust the size of the tables which makes it a bit difficult to play more than four tables at one time. They do however have pop up function which makes the table appear on top when it is your turn to act but it is still not optimal for players wanting to play more than four tables on one screen.
Cake Poker Rakeback
You can get rakeback at Cake Poker when registering with the sign up code 33BACK. This is the highest rakeback available on the whole Cake Poker Network and you take part of this deal at the same time as you are clearing the regular Cake Poker bonus. The rakeback program at Cake Poker is really good because of the fact that you will get paid your rakeback once a month to your poker account directly by Cake Poker. You can read more about this at our Cake Poker Rakeback page.
Cake Poker Bonus Code
Not only do you get 33% rakeback every month when registering using the sign up code 33BACK. This sign up code will also give you a 100% bonus up to $500 on your first deposit. This bonus clears at a rate of 10 FPP (Frequent Player Points) per bonus dollar. So for every 100 FPP you earn you will get $10 deposited straight to your real money account. At the same time as you are clearing the bonus you are also earning 33% rakeback that you will get to your account at the beginning of every month.
Cake Poker Promotions
There are always many great promotions at Cake Poker. One of these is the Gold Card system. Every time you are playing a hand at the real money cash game tables you have a chance of winning a Cake Poker Gold Card. These cards have different values and can be redeemed for cash prizes or tournament entries. The Gold Card system is set up in such a way that every time the table reaches a certain amount of rake a Gold Card will be released from the Gold Card Vault. If this card matches any of the two cards you are holding in that hand you have won this Gold Card which can be used for cash prizes our tournaments entries. You don’t even have to participate in the pot when the Gold Card is released to have the chance to win it, if it is matching one of your cards it will be yours.
Another good promotion is the Gold Chip system. Every time you reach a certain amount of FPP you will be awarded a Gold Chip. These Gold Chips can be used to buy in to tournaments or you can use them to purchase something nice from the Cake Poker VIP Shop.
Support
The support at Cake Poker is really good and they have always replied to e-mails within the hour the times when I have needed to contact them. The support team is available to answer any queries you might have 24/7. I can guarantee you that you will have to look for a long time to find a support team as dedicated and professional as this one.
Deposit and Withdrawal Options
Cake Poker caters for the most common deposit options such as VISA, MasterCard, Click2Pay, NetEller, MoneyBookers and ePassporte. The best deposit option for US players is ePassporte since it is made to suit the needs of American poker players. A withdrawal from Cake Poker usually takes less than 24 hours to process which is really good.
