Paradise Poker Review

Paradise Poker got  their start back in 1999 and was one of the first sites to offer  online poker.  At the time they were the largest online poker room with 80% market share.  Since then many other poker rooms are now larger though Paradise is still a respected poker room with many loyal users.

Accept USA Players:  1
Paradise does not accept U.S. players anymore.

Player Traffic:  2
Traffic is ok but certainly has dropped off a bunch since the U.S. ban.  You can still find plenty of cash games and they do have some nice rebuy tournaments everyday.

Fish:  3
You will find a lot of average players on this site.  It's pretty rare to see a holdem game over 40% for the flop.  With its million dollar freeroll promotion, they have see some new players hit their site.

Software: 3
The software here is one of the nicest in terms of layout and graphics.  One thing you will find though is that hands per hour tend to average around 35-40 verses 60 for most other sites.  Also in order to see the hand history, you have to do an email request.

Bonus and Promos:  3
Their main promotion is the Million Dollar Freeroll with a 1st prize of 1 million dollars.  The Million Dollar Freeroll is played online till it gets down to the final 10 at which point the tournament will stop and the final 10 will compete for the $1,000,000 grand prize aboard a cruise ship.  You can earn entry into satellites to the Million Dollar Freeroll event by playing and earning points.  When you signup for a new Paradise Poker account you can earn a 25% match bonus on your first deposit up to $50.
