ActionPoker.com is a unique poker room with a decent selection of classic and exotic games. Most of the competition is soft, the players are weak and the games are relatively loose. The software is very playable and offers decent graphics as well as the basic features. This poker site is on the well known Action Poker Network. Player traffic decreased significantly after the U.S. player ban.

Most of the promotions are really nice, specially the sign-up bonus. ActionPoker.com offers helpful support. This poker room has been a leader in the online poker industry since 1999, promoting values such as trust, variety and integrity. The site also is recognized for its security. ActionPoker.com is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.

The game variety available includes Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven Card Stud and Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo. These games are available in No Limit, Pot Limit, and Fixed Limit, at full-table games, short-handed and heads-up tables. A number of unique games such as Guts Poker, Chinese Poker, Big 2 Poker, Panguingue (Pan) and Blackjack are also offered. At the moment, this poker room is fairly small with the player volume around 2,000 players at peak times at the time of this writing. This is very unfortunate because they do offer a wide variety of different and unique games; they just don’t have the volume of players to support enough action at a regular basis at most of these games.

ActionPoker.com does not offer many tournaments but the tournaments available have buy-ins as small as 25¢, though higher buy-in tournaments range from $10 to $30. Tournament traffic is pretty much non existent and cash games have very little action as well. The site does run a few guaranteed tournaments and satellites as part of special promotions.

The software is really nice. In the lobby, the players can use different tabs to select the game type desired and to display No Limit, Pot Limit, or Fixed Limit tables, saving them the process of having to scroll through games that they don’t want to play. This of course makes the lobby easy to navigate. ActionPoker.com’s lobby displays the usual table statistics such as viewed flop percentage, average pot size, and hands played per hour, as well as the number of players currently online and tables currently active. All this makes the experience for locating the table of choice very easy.

The graphics are solid, though definitely not flashy, the table view is outstanding and the quality of the cards and animations is unmatched. The speed of the animations can be altered, which is extremely useful when playing on multiple tables. The player is able to select a 4 color deck and switch from various card sizes. This is a cool feature that more poker rooms should employ.

A note-taking feature is supported during play which is always welcome for the more serious poker player. Hand histories are available as well, but it might take some time to get used to this function. The downside of this feature is that the details for hands expire after 30 days leaving room for improvement with this feature. Multi-table play is supported at up to four tables and runs smoothly most of the time. This software is suited for multi-table play, although the tables are a fixed size and tend to be a little cluttered since mini-view or other special functions are not available.

A buddy list is also offered, it can be used as a fish finder or simply to chat to any online friend and go to the tables where they’re playing. The software generally runs well; however, once it is launched it creates a desktop icon and some people might find this annoying. This irritating problem cannot be disabled. The popup windows that appear when the software is loaded cannot be blocked.

Bonuses at ActionPoker.com are solid, at times offering 100% up to $2,500. The player has to earn 12 Player Option Points (POP) for every dollar deposited to clear the bonus. These points are earned by contributing to real money raked hands as well as through tournament play. A POP point is earned every time a player contributes with 10¢ to the rake. The maximum rake taken on any table is $3. The player will earn 10 POP points for every $1 that he/she pays in tournament hosting fees. The Player Option Points program rewards loyal customers and offers good value; the points can be used towards a list of prizes available within the game.

ActionPoker.com offers absolutely fantastic customer support 24/7 via email, live chat or telephone callback request. The support staff is helpful and provides answers almost instantly. A useful Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) section can be found at the ActionPoker.com website.

ActionPoker.com is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission and maintains security as a main priority. Two card shuffling algorithms are used in order to generate random numbers. Collusion will not be tolerated. Overall, ActionPoker.com is a poker site with potential, more player traffic and improvements on some minor details in the software would help a lot.
