Big name Pros
None

Bonuses
To attract new players and keep existing ones, Action Poker goes the extra mile with bonuses and promotions, such as an occasional 100% sign-up bonus up to $2500.

Software
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.

Tables
Multitabling is supported up to 4 tables, but you must have a big monitor to play them all, since there is no reduced table display option.

Layout  

Speciel Features
Offers the less-known but no less exciting Guts, Chinese Poker and Big 2; and on top of this you can also play Panguingue (Pan) and Blackjack.

Player Traffic
As with most poker rooms the more popular games are pretty much always available, in practice what makes the other games on the site viable are the player numbers. The player numbers are low for Action Poker which is a shame considering how nice it looks and plays compared to some other poker rooms. At peak times you can expect to see around 150 cash game players and 500 low limit tournament players.

Ease of Game
Most of the competition is soft, the players are weak and the games are relatively loose.

Game Variety
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.


Tournaments
Action Poker runs bounty tourneys, and their loyalty program has the benefit that any player can exchange Player Points for cash – a privilege often reserved just for VIP players.
