OVERVIEW
Being operated by one of the most respected gaming
companies there is (Intercontinental Online Gaming
Ltd.), Fair
Poker.com has the distinction of being a secured
and reliable poker website. Tournaments here are
never lacking, and players can play the staple
variants of Poker games readily available. Members
may also try their luck on several Casino games
that Fair Poker offers.
SOFTWARE
Installation for Fair
Poker’s software is a breeze. Just download
the game software and install it and you’re
ready to play. Fair Poker’s software offers
two viewable options in their software: a side
view mode and a top, or bird’s eye view.
A refreshing aspect is an audible “player
move” feature where you get to hear other
player’s avatars saying “I’m
all in”,” Raise”, “Bet”
etc. You can experience a “twin” effect
when playing as the lack of varied character models
is made obvious when you see another player look
exactly like you do.
They also offer these added features which their
website claims are unique to them:
-Dual Viewing modes
-Full screen option
-Player Notes
-Buddy List
-iPoints (Coming Soon)
-E-xtra Games
-Real-time game history
-Live Support

Fair
Poker.com offers players a fairly decent level
of competition, but mostly, it caters to easy-going
players who find the graphics a major turn-on
and only after casual plays.
TRAFFIC
Peak hours in Fair Poker.com can churn out more
than 500 players. But this site does have a steady
amount of loyal customers that keep Fair Poker
active. For a particularly new Poker site, it
does pretty well in attracting players.

Fair Poker.com has a “no flop, no drop”
rake policy, and they get 0% to 5% in rake, with
a maximum of $3.
BONUSES And PROMOTIONS
Fair Poker.com offers a 25% First Deposit Bonus

find out how many raked hands they have played
in by e-mailing at this address: rakedhands@fairpoker.com
They also offer a Bad Beat Bonus, so, finding
out that your assumed top hand falls short, then
you will still be liable for a Bad Beat payout.

Fair Poker.com offers a bevy of Guaranteed Prize
Tournaments and special tournaments like 6-players
Progressive Rio and Maui Jackpot games where 6
consecutive winners of each tournament can claim
the Grand Prize. Fair Poker will add $5,000 weekly
until someone wins 6 consecutive Jackpot games.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Customer in Fair Poker is pretty solid, and they
provide the necessary e-mail address for various
inquiries and 24/7 on-line customer support is
readily available to members. They also provide
a very helpful payment chart on their website
in order for players to choose what they think
would be a better fit for them.
SCORE
8 out of 10 – Being one
of the new kids on the online poker block, Fair
Poker does pretty well in terms of overall playability,
level of play, tournaments/bonuses and providing
perhaps the most visually stimulating gaming environment
for online poker players. The user base is still
pretty small, but that will probably increase
as word of mouth about Fair Poker.com spreads.
Players definitely take advantage of their tournaments
while they only have a small amount of members
coming in. It also helps that they have a solid
customer or technical support team.
