Description

Updated 03/2010 - Absolute Poker has been in the online industry since 2003 and provides some of the easiest to clear deposit bonuses currently available. The poker room is available for USA players and with the most recent upgrade became Mac compatible. Absolute Poker is one of the only pro-U.S. poker rooms that let players deposit via eChecks. You can also play blackjack from within the software and they even offer blackjack tournaments. Another cool feature is the Absolute Buddy, a messenger like program that allows you to easily find/chat with friends. The poker room features huge guarantees showcasing a triple header on weekends where prize pool combined totals more than $325,000 in three events. In January of 2010, they upgraded their software to include over 70 casino games, more info about this can be found below. Traffic is exploded since they added the casino games and you'll now find around 35,000 players during peak hours. Promotions are always huge and with the recent launch of the Absolute Assassins tournament leaderboard, the poker room is giving players the chance to win their way to the APT. Other attractions include the highest bad beat jackpot available online, fast cash outs and seats to live events. As mentioned above Absolute Poker does have a somewhat checkered past. In 2007 an employee created what was called a "superuser account" with this account he could see the whole cards of the other players. With this advantage he cheated players out of over $1,000,000. Eventually other players caught on and exposed him. It is worth mentioning that this activity only took place at the high stakes tables and all effected players were paid back. Since then Absolute Poker has has an excellent record, which can be accredited to the massive number of people watching out for suspicious activity. Because of all this extra scrutiny I feel Absolute Poker is not only safe but is probably safer than any other room. One thing you may find interesting is if you look at the Absolute Poker review pages at a majority of the top poker portals and communities you will not this this mentioned anywhere.
