Review of Sun Poker

Sun Poker is an established poker site that has recently moved to the popular iPoker Network. They were previously located on Cryptologic poker network. As a player on the iPoker Network you never have to worry about finding good action at the poker tables, this goes for both cash games and for tournament play. Sun Poker is offering a solid software that is easy to navigate. There are many unique promotions to take advantage of and thisof course includes the popular promotions offered on the iPoker network. As a new player to this poker room you will have the chance to get a welcome bonus up to $500 and you will also be able to enter their $10,000 welcome freeroll which has good value and can instantly increase your bankroll.

Traffic and Gameplay

Most of the actions is on the Texas Hold em tables where you can play from tables as low as $0.01/$0.02 all the way up to $200/$400. As part of iPoker players can expect around 6000 players online at usual hours. This means you will almost always find a good table to play at when joining Sun Poker. As for tournaments, there are all the common structures available and the tournament schedule at SunPoker includes everything from re-buys and deepstacks to turbo tourneys and satellites to big poker events. The large guarantees includes the Sunday $250K and the Friday $150K. Of course Sit and Go tournaments are available in different structures as these kind of poker tournaments are getting more and more popular. A very popular feature on this network is the jackpot sit and go’s where you have to win a certain amount of tournaments in a row and by doing this you can win huge amounts.

The competition at Sun Poker is quite weak, even if it’s hard to classify this on such a large poker network. We noticed that the tournament players are far below average and by using a tight aggressive style you should surely be able to beat most of the players here.

SunPoker does not accept US players unfortunately. For those we recommend FullTilt Poker where you can now get a great $600 bonus using FullTilt referral code TILTEDBONUS

Software

The software provided by Sun Poker is nothing extraordinary when it comes to graphics or avatars, but it is clearly a stable poker client and very easy to navigate. For example, using the different filters in the lobby is easy and very good to sort out your favorite upcoming games. When playing several poker tables at once, there is the option to use Mini view and this works perfectly fine. Including in the poker software, you will also find the options to play casino games such as Black Jack and Roulette.

Bonuses and Promotions

As previously mentioned, when new players are signing up using the Sun Poker coupon code PBSBONUS, they will be awarded with a 100% matching bonus, up to a maximum of $500, on their first deposit to the poker room. The bonus first pending on your bonus account and it is being released to your poker account when you collect Sun Points. You earn these points simply by playing at the Sun Poker tables.
