One of the new kids on the block, Cake Poker has been slowly but steadily growing since its inception in 2005. It’s the baby of the field but offers plenty of allure and is one of the few sites which welcomes US players.
.
Its software is easy to use and view with a wider variety available than usually seen. Cards are bigger, characters are in fact true life photographed models rather than 3D renderings and you have the ability to choose from more than one avatar and place them in the chair of your choice around the table.
Game choice includes favourites such as Limit, Pot Limit and No Limit Hold’Em, Pot Limit Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo and 7 Card Stud but traffic is fairly low compared to the bigger boys, however, where they once had only a few participating players, they now have well over 2000 active players in peak periods. It is displaying a healthy growth curve and by no means should be avoided unless you are a player who requires a larger traffic flow. The intimacy of this site means that more often than not, in some of the medium to high stakes games, you will be aware of certain players more than usual, however the attractive guaranteed cash prize tournaments with up to a $7,500 prize and satellites are an attractive and welcome extra, proving to be very popular.
Upon sign up, you are entitled to receive up to a $750 bonus along with a deposit match that is an attractive and very attainable 100%. If it’s the $750 you’re after, you must initially deposit $500 using the Cake Poker Bonus code: “Free 750”.
The perks don’t stop there! The site offers a great monthly $250 Free Roll which is played every last Sunday of the month at 6pm EST. Everyone can gain entry to this by using the “Everypoker” password and if you’re lucky enough to be the one lucky monthly winner, you get a share of the $250 and a prized ticket to the $50,000 Guaranteed Tournament.
Cake Poker also has an exciting and clever member loyalty program: Their Gold Card Lottery. Anyone active in the real money ring tournaments and games receives their little gold cards. Each card can then be used to claim from a choice of options such as merchandise, tournament entrance or save it and work your way up to owning 52 cards and trade them in for the grand sum of USD$52,000!
Cake Poker keeps their player incentives fresh and alluring, always thinking of new ways to please the customer. Apart from the more familiar incentives such as “refer a friend”, you are in fact able to even own your very own slice of this cake! Cake Poker gives away a 1% share of ‘Cake Gamming N.V’. every now and then. This little 1% carries with it huge potential as this site continues to go from strength to strength, well on its way to reach a valuation of several millions of dollars within the next few years; this is 1% you won’t want to miss!
Customer service is limited however; Cake Poker only offers email support for all your queries as well as a FAQ section on the site.
Cash deposits can be made using the following reputable companies: Neteller, Visa, Visa Electron, Master Card and InstaCash, however withdrawals can only be made using Neteller.
