admin History
Onlypoker is a new skin on the rapidly growing Cake network, which attracts up to 5,000 players at peak times since its inception in 2005.
Player Traffic 6/10
Only Poker is relatively new and still has a small player base for now.
Quality of Players 6/10
The Cake network has acquired a reputation of being a happy hunting ground for low and mid stakes sharks, with a surplus of weak players and a lucrative, initial deposit bonus.
Games Offered
Pot-Limit, Limit and NL Hold’em,Omaha and Hi-Lo are all offered, but there are no Stud and Draw games. sometimes, there is a ‘7 Card Stud’ tab, but no games are ever running.
Software 7/10
The Onlypoker software is stable and polished. The lobby is clear and functional, with a drop down filter and pop-up boxes with key tournament alerts. Graphics are clean and classy, with the color scheme offering a ‘vintage’ feel. There are extensive, fully customizable player avatars. Tracking software compatibility is restricted – the latest Pokertracker, Version 3, does not support the Cake network, although Poker Edge does. It’s the functionality of the software as a whole that lets it down. Although re-sizing the tables doesn’t affect the quality of the graphics, there is no ‘mini-view’ option, which makes handling more than five tables practically impossible. Animations aren’t as smooth as on Full Tilt or Pokerstars, and, if we’re really nitpicking, pauses after a hand seem to be fractionally too long. The saving grace is the accessibility of instant hand history.
Bonuses and Promotions 9/10
The Bonuses are what makes this site so lucrative with a 110% deposit bonus up to $600 at the very least play to get the bonus and decide from there.
Customer Support 8.5/10
Only Poker offers 24 hour support via e-mail and phone. The response time isn’t as fast as some of other sites such as Pokerstars or Fulltilt, but still acceptable to most. The telephone support isn’t much use for getting sophisticated answer but still available.
