CelebPoker
As the name suggests, CelebPoker is a site that offers people the chance to play with celebrities from all over the world. Formally known as the Boss Poker Network, International Poker Network is the host of the site, which is now one of the largest poker rooms in it.
The site is not as skilled as many people might think. Just because celebrities play on the sight does not mean that they have the skill of professional poker players. In fact, it is one of the most profitable places for experienced players to go, since some celebrities are just playing for fun and throw away their money passively in high stakes games.
Lou Diamond Phillips hosts a poker school on the site that is very handy for inexperienced players. New players are coming in every day with peak hours supporting 3,300 ring-game players and 13,000 tournament players. Most of the players are at the small-stakes No-Limit and Limit Texas Hold’em games, and the Omaha tables have been recently picking up. The loosest play is at the Micro-Limit Hold’em and Omaha tables.
CelebPoker Games Include:
- Texas Hold’em
- Omaha
- Omaha Hi-Lo
- Seven-Card Stud Hi
- Five-Card Draw
All of the games are available in Limit, Pot-Limit, and No-Limit versions. The site also has one of the largest ranges stakes starting at 5¢/10¢ and going all the way up to $500/$1,000. Tournaments are guaranteed to reach $100,000 every month, and include some live poker events like the Irish Open and the Monte Carlo Millions. Since play is taken from countries all over the world, multi-currency play is applied.
Sign-up bonuses are offered to new players. Currently, PokerListings players can receive a $1,500 bonus with 200% deposit match. Unlike most sites that have you work into your savings, this bonus is given to you as soon as you register.
One of the other bonuses allows players to receive $10 dollars for every $40 dollars that is taken in the rake. Most poker sites offer this bonus at $50 dollars, and take away the bonus if you haven’t taken it. CelebPoker lets you hold onto the bonus as long as you want before clearing it. There is also a bonus for every friend you refer. Every time you refer a friend, you will receive $50, and there is no limit on how many friends you can invite. Once your friend has created $150 in rake, $50 will be applied to your account again.
Negatives of CelebPoker:
- Does not support Poker Tracker
- Does not allow U.S. players
- Software is slow when new tables are opened
Besides these traits, the site is very good, and exceptionally profitable for the experienced player. The support responses are fast, and the site has been known to take suggestions from players to improve their site. It also provides five-player tournaments. Overall, player are generally loose and non competitive, even if they are celebrities.
