I would make a deposit there, but it's not really friendly towards low limit players. The bonuses take forever for the pee wee players ><

They cleaned up the graphics last week - better contrast, fewer distractions. The PC download version of the software is nice. I haven't used the Java version much, although it has a reputation as the best option for Mac and Linux players.

If you want to try , has a great offer going this month. (Plus, we'll throw in a free poker book of your choice.)

You earn 1 point for each pot with $1 or more in rake, and 0.5 points for each pot that's raked $0.50. It takes 7 points to clear each bonus dollar.

Once reaon that it can take a while for small-stakes players is that does not collect any rake at all if the pot is less than $20 in $2-$4 and up. In $1-$2, the rake is $0.25 for eavery $5 in the pot up to $1.50 max. Below $1-$2. it's only $0.05 for every $1 in the pot up to $1.50 max.

So, ironically, this favorable rake structure does make it take longer to clear a bonus when playing very small stakes.

.50/1 cleared in a few hours on 2 tables.

I find that hard to believe piviotal. You cleared 700 points in just a few hours? Crazy.

That place is a rake machine ,monster generator, be careful there.
but luv the freerolls.

It's on a par with the industry, and actually is a little better because they don't rake pots under $20 at $2-$4 and up.

Yep, 2 a day for everyone, plus more if you build up enough points during the week.

Hey no offense meant to anyone offering spam deals, but why don't we keep the offers down here on a minimum, considering that we should all be signing up through TPs links.
