Players Only Poker


Players Only Poker is a site that is on the Cake Poker Network that does accept U.S. players as well as anyone around the world. The site has a comfortable niche in poker with a sharp website design and a clean, simple interface that helps everyone appreciate playing there. This will cover all the key aspects of the site, including deposit options and tournaments!

Software

Since it uses Cake software, it has all the strength and stability of Cake’s improved software. There is really little that can be said against the site in any real manner. Easy to navigate, easy to select a room, the tables are easy to read and understand. The cards are clear to see and aren’t blurry. Avatars are available, even preferred seating as well! The software is clean and doesn’t require a long wait time before loading.

Traffic

It’s not as plentiful as the main Cake site, but you should have no trouble finding action. There were even people looking for head’s up action at the $300/$600 NLHE tables waiting for someone to join them. In case you didn’t know, $300-$600 limits are the same stakes played on Season 5 of GSN’s High Stakes Poker show! There’s little doubt you’ll ever be bored playing on this site for sure! Tournaments are plentiful and satellites for larger buyin tournaments are available for really small amounts, or even free gold chips and gold cards, promotional points that are given away to the sharks at the cash game tables.

Tournaments

Lots of tournaments for any budget or roll. Don’t feel like playing for a lot? Just enter for a $1 entry fee (plus fee). Have you established yourself as a pro? Enter a high-stakes satellite for big events like the Main Event or various European tours! There’s no limit on the kind of wonder you can find yourself playing and winning at PlayersOnly! Breaks tend to be 5 minutes every hour, turbo tournaments with levels increasing every 3-6 minutes and standard tourneys are every 10-15 minutes.

Game Variety

You better like hold’em or Omaha, since that’s what PlayersOnly offers. The two biggest games (other than stud) are hold’em and Omaha. The exact variations are as follows:

  • Texas Hold’em: FL, PL, and No Limit
  • Omaha: Hi and Hi/Low versions

They also offer sports booking, horses, casino games of all stripes, including Red Dog and Caribbean Stud. PlayersOnly is truly a well-rounded site for people looking to bet and win large!

Competition

At the lower limits, you’ll find what Cake and its skin sites are well known for – fish! A lot of truly terrible play at the micro limits means that when they shove on the river, there’s a better chance it means donations to you! They won’t know what hit them if you’re an experienced shark! If not, you can still learn and slowly build your roll with lots of other players.

Banking

Credit card and UseMyWallet. That’s it. If you wanna get a hold of PlayersOnly’s games, you can only deposit through these methods. In the future, it is expected that they will add more options.

Customer Support

Customer Service was fairly prompt in answering questions via online email support. There is also live support, although the wait line was pretty long. They’ll be able to resolve just about any issue you have with PlayersOnly.

Promotions and Sign Up Bonuses

There are a number of unique sign-up bonuses that are with PlayersOnly. They are as follows:

  • 10% Free Cash: Any initial deposit gets 10% bonus as a way of saying “Welcome to PlayersOnly!”
  • 100% Signup bonus: It goes up to $650, and every FPP you earn gets you 0.06 of that bonus, released in $10 increments. It helps so that if you ever need a little boost, your points will help you get there!
  • Half-Juice Fridays. For the basketball fan, this will entitle you to make bets with less money needed to clear every $100 (using the American system of –105 instead of –110).

Rewards

Like Cake, you get gold chips and gold cards to use for tournament entries and stuff at the PlayersOnly gift shop. Save them up and get something awesome, or use your chips and buy a bunch of smaller-end stuff! The choice is entirely yours!

You can also get 33% Players Only Poker rakeback when creating your account through us.
