The site in general: DTDPoker operates on the Boss Media software which is widely recognized across the online gaming industry. It is trusted by many poker rooms and used by thousands of players each day. The graphics are simple and not overly fancy, this allows for an interface that is both fast and smooth, without complex graphics taking over your system memory and internet connection. The speeds of the games are exceptional and make for a very easy multi-tabling experience. DTDPoker delivers exactly what the serious player is looking for, no cute graphics and buttons, just excellent software, loose games, and great support.

Big name pros: None

Bonuses: 200% first deposit bonus up to €1000 for all new players. The signup bonus is a good offer and although it isn't as lucrative as some of the other sites on the internet, it still offers a substantial boost to your bankroll. DTDPoker also has a V.I.P. program that awards players with cold hard cash into their account each month depending on how many raked hands they have played.

Software: DTD plays very well if you're playing one, two or three tables, though not so good if you'd like to try four or the maximum five. And it's not that the software doesn't function at the higher numbers, because it chugs along just fine; it's just that the other tricks and trinkets embedded into the games make it somewhat harder to say on top of what's what. The software is at times complex, and the players are often new; the result is play that can be slower than at some larger sites with the more basic software. To sum up the software it is functional, playable and have good graphics with excellent lobby info.

Tables: DTDPoker has a great table design. The games stats at Poker Heaven are not just in the lobby, but at the table as well. The graphics and the colors are well suited and crisp clean.
