Red Star Poker Review

Red Star Poker is a medium sized poker room situated on the Cake Poker network. As a result of being on the Cake Network, you can be sure of a great playing experience due to their slick software and great games. The room opened in 2005 and allows US players to participate on the site. The room has grown steadily since opening and has become one of the leading sites on the network.

Red Star Poker Initial Deposit Bonus and Rakeback

Red Star Poker offers a generous 110% match bonus up to a maximum $600. The bonus is released as and when you accumulate the specific amount of FPP’s (Frequent Player Points). These are earned through playing real money ring games and tournaments and each point is worth $0.06 of your bonus. The money is credited to your account in increments of $5 and you have 3 months after you have deposited to clear the bonus. Also, 33% rakeback paid weekly into your account.

Red Star Poker Software and Graphics

As stated earlier, Red Star Poker has the advantage of being on the Cake Poker network, which offers players a great poker software to enjoy their playing experience on. The graphics are slick and gameplay is fast, meaning hands per hour is relatively high. Player’s can choose their own avatar from a pre-selected list supplied by the site, card backs can also be changed but they are the only customizations available to players. This means the player’s experience is fairly restricted, but that leaves you to fully focus on playing poker rather then which background to choose. The lobby and table are, as you would expect, colored in a deep red. The table is easy on the eye and the lobby provides all information that a poker player will need, such as players per flop percentage, waiting list, average pot and hands per hour. Navigation is also easy on the lobby, with a tab based system used to filter out games you do not wish to play.

Red Star Poker Game Softness

The players at Red Star Poker, like every other room, are of mixed ability depending on the limit you are playing. Low limits are of course filled with bad players, however even limits up to $1/$2 can see player per flop percentages as high as 60%. The higher limits are still softer then most poker rooms.

Red Star Poker Game Variety

Red Star Poker offers a modest game variety for players. Currently only Texas Hold’em, Omaha Hi and Omaha Hi/Lo are available. The games are available in Fixed Limit, Pot Limit and No Limit variations and stakes range from as little as $0.02/$0.04 up to $500/$1000 for the high rollers.

Red Star Poker Support

Red Star Poker offers a wide range of support options for player’s to solve their problems through. Firstly, they can check the websites FAQ for more common queries. If that doesn’t work Red Star also offer telephone and e-mail support, which can be contacted 24/7. This ensures players always have a contact option available no matter what time of the day.
