SUMMARY

Absolute Poker has always been a popular poker room with fairly average traffic until late 2008 when it merged with Ultimate Bet poker and became the Bigger, Badder and Better site that it is today. Absolute Poker is on the cereus poker network and their new motto is Bigger, Badder and Better and they are not lying as they have turned Absolute Poker in to one of the leading online poker sites around today. At Absolute Poker you will find good traffic nice software and good bonuses. unfortunately customer services is only by E-mail, but the Email but in their defence they do respond very quickly.

Tainted past I don't think it would be fair to send you to Absolute Poker with out mentioning their past. Absolute Poker was fined $500,000 for their part in the super user account. Here's a brief explanation of what happened if you want to know more go to the Absolute Poker scandal page. a worker at Absolute Poker was able to see unsuspecting opponents whole cards there for making him unbeatable. he made a fortune before being caught. Full scandal storry coming soon.

I must add that since then Absolute Poker has done everything in its power to tighten security making it impossible for any body to do this again. And they are taking giant steps towards the future since the big change at the end of 08 it has picked its self up brushed its self off and got on with turning Absolute Poker in to the nice clean honest site it is today.

The loyalty bonus at Absolute Poker is described by them as "the most rewarding poker room loyalty bonus program online today".

• Tourneys for Absolutepoints. You can buy into tourneys using Absolutepoints instead of using cash. You will find a section of tourneys you can use Absolutepoints for the buy in.
