The explosion of poker about ten years ago hasn’t relented at all. In 2009, there are still daily poker sites trying to carve out a niche online. For the mainstays like Action Poker, it’s not hard at all to compete with the up-and-comers. Action Poker employs a high set of standards that includes high-quality and fair games, increased measures for security and privacy, and a small rake.

Action has been in business since 1999 and they are fully licensed and regulated by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. The software chosen by Action Poker is constantly updated to produce advanced online multiplayer technology and to ensure a good playing experience.

The Action Poker Network has its own software, which sets them apart from many other sites out there, and also works to make them unique in a sense that you get a different look and feel with the site than anywhere else. The site caters to multiple countries; however, the only languages available are English and Spanish.

If you experience any problems with the software or have any questions a thorough FAQ section is available by simply clicking on the icon. If you’d rather chat with support, you can send an email for a quick response, or use the Live Chat feature for an instant response.

The site doesn’t have any official professional sponsors like some of the bigger poker rooms online, but Action Poker takes their games very seriously. Even if you’re not a member, you can access the site’s "Poker World" section and read up on your favorite games, rules, TOS, and rankings. There are also guides that give you insider tips to use when playing.

You’ll always be able to find a plethora of poker tournaments happening at Action Poker. From multi-stage and multi-table freerolls and tournaments to simple sit-n-gos, the game selection is vast. Among the games included are Texas Hold’em, Omaha (hi-lo, also), 7-Card Stud, Blackjack, Chinese Poker, and more.

Action Poker has a large welcome bonus for new players. The site is offering a 100% deposit match bonus of up to $2,500. Of course, terms and conditions apply, but depositing lower amounts proves easy enough to clear. You can also receive a 150% deposit match bonus if you use a Paysafe Card to deposit.

Other promotions on the site include an EPT Grand Finale qualifier, a WSOP qualifier, a Magic Hand promotion happening daily, and a Saint Paddy’s deposit bonus and $1,700 freeroll.

Players can make their deposits using Click2Pay, Instadebit, Paysafe card, MasterCard/Visa, and a few more methods. All players should take time to read the site’s terms and conditions to see if they’re able to use the method they want for both depositing and withdrawing funds. Action Poker has a good track record, but third-party sites may have changing rules and regulations.

Pros: Unique software, good customer support, a lot of freerolls and some pretty good promotions for both new and returning players.

Cons: Players from the United States and Turkey are prohibited from playing; the table limits are rather low, and their games - except Hold’em - don’t have much traffic to speak of.
