Cake Poker
Cake Poker: Cake Poker entered the world of online poker in 2005. Being a new independent poker room without joining an established network is not an easy feat and Cake Poker appears to have pulled it off by creating an increasingly popular new network of their own.Traffic is currently high enough to threaten to break into the top 10. As for variety, Cake has focused heavily on the most popular games and only offers Hold'em, Omaha (hi and hi/low) and 7 Card Stud (hi and hi/low). At the end of the day, with the fact that US players are accepted, Cake Poker is a newer poker room on the rise in the poker world.
Promotions: Cake has a very large number of promotions from deposit bonuses, to great freerolls (including a Million Dollar freeroll series), to a very rewarding gold points program which can qualify you for gold chips to be used for freerolls, and a gold card program where "gold cards" can be earned at ring games and traded for exciting prizes. There are 52 different Gold Cards and you can use them to win daily jackpots, buy cool merchandise, and even purchase tournament buyins. You can even save them up and try to collect all 52 cards – which would make you the winner of the $52,000 jackpot promo they have running!
Traffic: As mentioned earlier, Cake Poker, along with the Cake Poker network is a relative newcomer to the poker world, yet traffic has risen to the point where Cake is threatening to become one of the top 10 poker rooms in terms of traffic. We see no end to this trend as Cake has solid looks and promos and accepts US players. Players: Cake Poker offers some very loose tables. New poker rooms often attract loose players who are also very fishy. This is very evident at Cake Poker. Players like this can be even found at $1/$2. The low stake play is very loose as usual.
Software: The software of Cake Poker is top notch with a great 3D feeling and excellent graphics. Every character at the table is actually a photographed model. Standard features are available suchas player notes, and the like, and the lobby has been revamped and is easily navigable. One other great feature Cake has available to the player is the ability to change your name poker name ever seven days. This is a rare thing to find in the online poker world and can be useful. Cake does not allow tracking software and this is their attempt at stifling it.
Deposit/Cashout/Transfer: Deposit methods include Visa, MasterCard, ePassporte, NeTeller and Moneybookers. Ewallet deposits are free of fees. The same options are available through cashouts, as well as by check. The minimum cashout amount is $50 to any of the e-wallets and these cash outs are typically processed in 24-48 hours. For check withdrawals the minimum cashout is $500 and the maximum is $9,000. All checks are delivered by courier and typically take 15 to 20 business days to arrive. There is a $35 fee for all checks and this amount is deducted at point of request
Security: All communications between the you and the Cake Poker server are encrypted using the accepted standard 256-bit TwoFish encryption algorithm. Cake claims that sophisticated algorithms are employed to identify, track and uncover collusion help to ensure the integrity of our system and fairness at our tables. For their random number generation, cake uses the cryptographically-secure RNG system found in Microsoft’s CryptoAPI. This RNG has been extensively tested by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
