Although the first time deposit bonus at www.bluesqpoker.co.uk is released in increments as you wager real money, the 100% amount given is essentially a good offer. Loyalty bonus points are offered also with each raked hand or tournament you buy in to, which can be used in different ways.

New players at bluesqpoker.co.uk will also find themselves invited to a $1,000 freeroll which is always a nice opportunity to compliment the cash match money you have already received as a new player. Help sections on getting started are available onsite, and there are good quality help and support options if you get stuck. Last month Blue Square held a $2.5 million guaranteed tournament, which gained a lot of interest from the players onsite, but if you missed it, then do not feel too dejected because there are bound to be more large scale guaranteed in the coming months.

I do not personally feel that promotions are the strongest point at www.bluesqpoker.co.uk, and it would be nice to see a little bit more innovation and opportunity for the smaller bankrolls The graphics and avatars are in my opinion, not the finest in the business, but this is my opinion on many sites these days. These negatives are not too important in my view however, as there is still a very enjoyable poker room here to play in, and the bonuses onsite are fairly good..

I have to also point out that the variety of games on offer are sufficiently numerous to hold the interest of most players, and all in all I like most of the aspects of Blue Square.

Pokerroom is a site which certainly has some good points in my opinion, and although it does not rank as one of my favourites, I like some of the things on offer here.

As a starting point, the site has great help and support in place which can be reached 24 hours a day seven days a week. For new players, there are welcome freerolls, with seats being obtained to these automatically when you deposit onsite. As well as these welcome tournaments, there is a 100% cash match on the first deposit made, which helps boost the bankroll considerably when starting out.

If you join Pokerroom and decide you like it, you can invite a friend to join also, and be eligible for a $50 bonus payment per friend you refer. There are also games which are played without real currency to help beginners learn the ropes before they start playing for real, which is always helpful too.

As well as these points, there are promotions running each month to give customers the opportunity to further increase their profit margins, along with some good value tournaments. Odds calculators which are onsite are also helpful to newer players, and if your game of choice happens not to be the most well known game of ‘Holdem’ then do not worry, because the variety of games offered here is certainly above average with Omaha, Five Card Stud, and Seven card Stud available too.

The negative point for me, is the same as many places online today, with minimal choice of characters to choose as an avatar, and graphics which look a bit dated compared to one or two sites out there. But you should not let this put you off, as the site itself has a lot to offer in terms of an enjoyable game of poker.
