Empire Poker

Empire Poker and Party Poker are essentially cut from the same cloth. They are part of the same overall gaming network and they share a lot of the same resources. For this reason, Empire Poker has always been able to rely on its older and more famous sibling for help in getting its brand across and indeed in recent years Empire Poker has blossomed into an online poker site worth playing at as a result.

Software and Graphics

As previously mentioned, Empire Poker and Party Poker are cut from the same cloth and this means that Empire Poker utilizes the same software package that Party Poker has. The visual appearance of much of the package is different because Empire Poker has a blue colour scheme that makes it look different from Party Poker, but the graphics and performance are the same in both of the packages. Empire Poker for that reason has a software package that is tried, tested and true and that is one of the big selling points that this particular online poker site has going for it.

Poker Games

Empire Poker offers much gaming action across popular poker variants like Texas Hold ‘Em, Omaha, Omaha/8, Stud and Stud/8, not to mention some interesting blackjack and prop action on the side should people want to pursue that particular avenue of online gambling. In addition to these variants though, Empire Poker has multiple betting structures in cash game format and multiple formats for tournaments and sit and go competitions should people want it. When all of these different permutations are added together, the result is that there are dozens of different games that you can pursue when you are playing online at Empire Poker.

Bonuses and Promotions

Unlike its older sibling, Empire Poker is not as freely giving when it comes to online deposit bonuses. That having been said, from time to time they do place first time deposit offers on the table, but these offers will be sent to you through your account page after you have signed up for the most part. New players do get the chance to participate both in a $1+$0 sit and go tournament as well as a freeroll tournament for new depositors that has a cash prize pool of $1000 added to it. This means that you could easily win an amount in the freeroll that is larger than any bonus that Empire Poker would be able to give you and for that reason it is arguably a better deal to have.

Payment and Withdrawal Methods

Generally speaking, the following methods are accepted at Empire Poker: credit card, debit card, NETeller, Moneybookers and bank transfer. Other methods might be accepted on a situational basis, but having one of the above mentioned methods is really the best plan.

Support

Support methods at Empire Poker include FAQ and e-mail support, both of which can be accessed through the “24hr. Help” link on their website.

Conclusion

Empire Poker is essentially Party Poker by another name. Overall, it is of a slightly lower quality, but still worth playing at nonetheless.
