Only Poker Review
Only Poker is a rather unique online poker room, outside of its partnership with the Cake Poker Network. Launched about 5 years ago, Only Poker was introduced by a group of online poker players who wanted to offer a straight-forward poker site without the long-winded fluff and rambling we’re used to skimming over. The founders made their point very clear with the branded motto “No Bullshit, Only Poker”. Interestingly enough, Only Poker chose to settle on the Cake Poker Network, developed under similar circumstances and ideals.
Only Poker is a tournament powerhouse, with over $20 million paid monthly. New players earn 110% up to $600 on the first deposit. Only Poker has a great loyalty scheme and other rewards, like Gold Chips and Gold Cards. Play Hold’em, Omaha and Omaha Hi-Lo for free or real money. US players welcome.
Only Poker Bonus
Only Poker pads its new player’s bankrolls with an opening deposit bonus that matches 110% up to $600. Delivered to a pending bonus account, the bonus cash is released in $10 chunks for every 167 FPP you earn over the next 90 days. FPP are awarded at a rate of 1 FPP per $1 rake, a 7 FPP per $1 in tournament fees. Uneven rakes and fees award partial points.
Only Poker offers reload bonuses on occasion. If you are eligible to receive a reload deposit bonus, you will be notified of the details via email, so be sure you are receiving email from Only Poker after you register your account.
Only Poker Games Available
Apparently Only Poker found an extended game variety to be part of the “bullshit” division of the online poker world. Though Cake Gaming’s software does make games like 7 Card Stud and others available, Only Poker held back its poker game variety to the three most popular selections – Texas Hold’em, Omaha and Omaha Hi-Lo. Whether players consider this to be a fault or not is really a personal preference.
Only Poker Tournaments
Only Poker promotes a vast tournament schedule complete with over $4.5 million in monthly guartantees alone, more than $20 million overall (MTTs and SNGs combined). There are buy-ins to suit all bankroll sizes, from $1 up into the hundreds, and of course a multitude of free tournaments, some awarding cash, some points and others held as satellites into bigger events.
Gold Chips Tournaments are a great way to build your bankroll without forking over any of your own cash. They are kind of like Freerolls, but a lot more lucrative. Players earn Gold Chips each time they collect enough FPP, then use those chips to post the buy-in. You can even enter Only Poker’s biggest guarantees with gold chips, or earn yourself a $13k WSOP prize package through Gold Chips Satellites. Only Poker also supports live event satellites to the Aussie Millions, Irish Poker Open and other major live poker events.
As part of the Cake Poker Network, Only Poker is hosting one of the most rewarding free tournament series in the business, known as Freeroll Into Millions. With no cost to the players, winners can earn their share of millions in cash prizes and gold chip rewards.
