For Paradise
Poker the game variety is one of the best
in the industry, including no-limit and
pot-limit at most standard games and more rare
games such as five-card draw, five-card stud
and crazy pineapple.
Limits and
Rake
For Paradise
Poker the rake is not so attractive, as it highly disfavors the low
limit games. This holds true also for the tournaments, where good value
only is provided at the higher stakes.

Traffic Rating 9
Paradise
Poker has some great software for online poker players and brings in very
high traffic for cash games and tournaments. Ring games have 2500-2900 players
during peak hours and tournaments and cash games bring in 4000-5500 players
during peak hours.
Promotions Rating 6
Paradise Poker has
some
promotions for its players, however there could still be a bit more
considering the very high traffic. One of their most famous is their
"Million Dollar Freeroll," which is being held on August 27. This is a
freeroll where the first place player wins a $1 million prize, and 2-10 each win
a $10,000 prize. Typically, landmark hand number bonus is used. Lately they have
guaranteed prize money in tournaments and some promotions for frequent players.
It is getting better!

Customer
Service/Site
Security Rating 7
The Customer Service at this site
is only via e-mail, which disappoints me. A
site of this size should offer live support
and phone customer service in my opinion.
However, they respond very quickly via email,
almost always within 15 minutes.
