Complete PokerTime Review

PokerTime is probably the most popular poker room on the Prima network, with over ten thousand players competing for cash prizes at peak times. This shouldn’t surprise, as PokerTime is a great poker room, using the Microgaming software to provide an excellent, clean interface to a wide range of top tournaments, while providing great bonuses to new and existing players.

PokerTime’s initial signup bonus is split into multiple tiers, with higher tiers unlocked once the tier beneath is completed. The lowest tier is a 50% match bonus on initial deposits, up to $100 free with 60 days to unlock. The next tier is a 100% reload bonus of up to $200, and the final tier is a 200% reload bonus up to $200. Players have 60 days per tier to max out each bonus.

For regular players, PokerTime offers its Players Club, a 5-tier loyalty program that offers increasingly numerous and valuable incentives, such as increased levels of support, extra reload bonuses, free entry into tournaments, the chance to win holidays and other special prizes, and even free entry into certain Guaranteed Tournaments and Satellites. Overall it’s a very comprehensive program, and the increasing levels of support and better quality of statistics are a nice touch.

Traffic at PokerTime is always excellent, with over 10,000 players regularly competing online. Most of the traffic is for the No Limit Hold’em games, but that still leaves plenty of traffic for other game types. The competition is quite strong, ranging from poker pro’s to new bonus-chasers.

PokerTime uses the standard Prima software, but provides a nice clean skin that makes playing easy on the eye. The software is fast and reliable, although it does not provide many options. The chabox can be minimized, and some player indicators can be toggled, but that’s about it. The software also supports a no-download browser version, although players wanting the best performance on slower machines should opt for the download version.

In addition to its excellent signup promotion, PokerTime has a refer-a-friend offer, a progressive bad-beat jackpot, and of course, it’s top-notch loyalty program. There are also regular chances to win VIP entry into live event satellite tournaments, such as the EPT and Irish Open.

Tournaments are a major attraction of PokerTime, with an impressive line-up of daily guaranteed prize tournaments, sint & go rounder tournament, and some very popular freerolls. In addition, players in the higher ranks of the poker club can get free access to private tournaments, and even free access to live event satellite tournaments!

Support at PokerTime is top notch, with phone and online support as well as the usual email. Response times for email are good, normally less than one hour, and the staff are generally both knowledgeable and friendly.
