Cake Review

Cake Poker is one of a newer generation of online poker rooms with a rapidly growing player base. Cake is an industry leader in player rewards, offering unique promotions that can't be found at other sites. With the moderate amount of opponents, players can find Hold'em and Omaha ring games, multi-table tournaments, and sit & go's at any time of the day. Due to the newer players, the competition at Cake Poker is on average a decent bit worse than one might find at some of the larger sites. In addition to the potential for greater profits, Cake has some of the most user-friendly software online!

Player Rewards

With an extensive rewards system, Cake Poker does more than many other sites to reward their players. With their unique Gold Card system, when the rake taken from play at any ring game table has reached a specified amount a random Gold Card is generated and if any player at the table was dealt that card during the most recent hand, they get to add the Gold Card to their collection. Every day, a Gold Card Lottery is held, and if you hold the matching gold cards in your collection, you may redeem them for a specified cash value or tournament entry.

In addition to the Gold Cards, players also earn Frequent Player Points through real money play. When you accumulate enough of these points you are awarded with Gold Chips, which give you exclusive access to tournaments, satellites, and the Cake Shop.
