In the following part of our PKR Poker review you can read in-depth information about PKR Poker's 3D client, website, security & integrity, traffic & games, bonuses & promotions and support.

Poker Client

There is so much to say about PKR's client, as it completely stands out from the rest. If you are an experienced online poker player, then you'll don't have a hard time to understand.

The first and foremost difference is that PKR Poker is developed as a 3D poker room - unmatched in the world of online poker. They have created an excellent 3D poker environment, including infinitely customizable characters (develop yourself), realistic screen captures and many options to interact with your opponents at the table. All of this engages your game play experience to the max. PKR's client brings 3D computer games and playing poker for money together.

Even being such a stand out, PKR has also implemented all industry standards into their software, such as hand history, multi-tabbing (up to 4), making notes, etc. Great news for Apple users, since PKR has also become available for MAC OSX as of October 2009.

PKR Poker appeals mostly to people who also love to play 3D PC games. Because of this you will see a lower poker play level than average - which is an absolute pro!

A huge con about PKR is definitely the size of their download - it takes quite a while before PKR is downloaded and installed on your PC. Besides the wait, you also need a decent PC to make it run smoothly (even though they also offer a stripped version).

Security and Integrity

PKR is fully licensed and regulated by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) which is one of the toughest jurisdictions in online gaming. This represents fairness and security of a very high level, in other words a poker site that you can trust.

You can also rest assured that PKR does everything in its' power to keep cheaters out. They have a zero-tolerance policy for players who attempt to collude and their software has build-in algorithms that detect suspicious activity in real time as well as over a longer period.

Traffic and Game Variations

Many people don't think PKR have a lot of traffic since they are quite a new kid on the block, but the opposite is true. PKR Poker is unique, and that's why there are many players signing and sticking to it. They are the fastest growing online poker room with over 20,000 registrations every month.

Unfortunately they only offer Texas Hold'em and Omaha games. Though, these games come in all different set-ups and stakes and as in general, most traffic can be found at the Texas Hold'em tables.

PKR.com Website Review

PKR Poker Website

The PKR Poker website looks kind of futuristic. As you can expect, they focus on being the best 3D poker room (which simply is the truth... as others have tried, but failed).

PKR.com makes use of many keen Flash features, for example a movie trying to convince you to sign-up where they are showing the most important aspects of their online poker room software. The main website's languages is English, but the most important parts are also available in Brazilian, Danish, German, Spanish, French, Greek, Dutch, Italian, Norwegian, Russian, Finnish and Swedish.

The menu is placed in the top and contains all the topics to guide you through the site, such as MyPKR, The Game, Bonus, Rewards, Tournaments and more. Of course the main menu items contain their corresponding sub menu items with detailed information about the subject.

Another cool aspect of the PKR site is their online community, where you can track progress of team PKR players, but also participate in the PKR Poker forum. At the moment of this writing the PKR Lounge, which is the main forum, contains 6781 topics and 81,550 posts - that alone tells you how active it's used and that it's worthwhile signing-up for. Furthermore, PKR's community offers PKR TV, broadcast in several European countries, on satellite, as well as reruns on the PKR website itself. You as well can earn you moment of fame and appear in a TV show if you make it to the final table of one of their weekly TV tournaments.

Their blog (updated almost every day) helps you to stay up to date with all the latest news, event updates, bonus and promotions.

Something very worthwhile mentioning separately is MyPKR which you can access with your PKR account info and see all kinds of details related to your player account. It contains your statuses, i.e. your PKR Club Level and account status, but also some stuff open to other people checking out your profile, such as a personal blog and a guestbook. You can also review your results and create a friends list.

All pretty neat stuff if you ask me, but there is much more, why not see for yourself? Have a look at PKR.com, we're sure you'll like it!
