Summary (7.2)
Cake Poker is one of the newest members to the Merge Network of online poker rooms. CakePoker.com has seen tremendous growth in the three and a half years since it opened. With loads of unique promotions and great bonuses, Cake Poker is a sure winner!
Software (8)
The software at Cake Poker is very realistic for a 2D poker room. The lobby is clean which makes finding games quite easy. One great feature about the lobby here is the ability to separate the different poker variants within both the ring game and the tournament tabs of the lobby. The level at which games can be separated is superb. Great job with functionality here.
Bonuses (6)
The current first deposit bonus for all new players at Cake Poker is 110% up to $600. New depositing players will also have a free ticket into the ‘new depositors’ freeroll game. Reload bonuses do become available from time to time for existing and loyal players. Bonus funds are released in $10 increments and are based on your Frequent Player points that are accumulated through real money ring games and tournament play. Remember to always check terms and conditions when dealing with bonus money.
Promotions (7)
CakePoker.com’s current promotions include satellite seats to the WSOP Main Event and they will be sending more than 100 players to the WSOP Event #54. Since the opening of Cake Poker players have been randomly receiving ‘gold cards’. These cards can be accumulated for points or money and they can also earn you entry into some great games. A refer-a-friend program is also available here.
Players (8)
Even though Cake Poker has been around for a few years, the fish are still a swimming in these seas.The amount of loose players here is flabbergasting to say the least. At low stakes tables the percentage of players per flop is generally around 80%, and on the higher stake tables that percentage is typically 60% or more.
Variety (9)
The variety of games here is fantastic. From the standard Texas Hold’em to Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo and then 7-Card Stud and 7-Card Stud Hi/Lo. All varieties are available in both cash game play and tournament play. The limits include No Limit, Pot Limit and Fixed Limit. Play is available in heads up action and short handed as well as the normal table size for the game variant that you are playing.
Site Traffic (7)
Just like many other online poker rooms, especially those that are part of a large network like the Merge Network, Cake Poker sees a good amount of traffic. Generally speaking during peak hours you can expect to see around 9,000 to 10,000 players with the majority of them at the tournament games.
Cash Games (7)
The cash game tables at CakePoker.com can get quite busy, especially at the low stake levels. I’ve seen tables where 6 people are waiting to play a $1/$2 game. You can always find several tables of varying limits in Texas Hold’em, Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo. It is usually hard to find anyone playing at any of the 7-card Stud ring tables. Limits for the cash games range from micro limits of .02c/.04c to the high stakes limits of $500/$1000.
Support (3)
The score here is low because of the lack of methods players can use. This is one area of Cake Poker that I would like to see more available options. The only current method of customer support for players is via email to support@cakepoker.com. I have dealt with the support department at Cake Poker and I must say that they are very quick to respond to any issues a player faces, it would still be nice to see either a live chat or telephone support option
Site Security (10)
Just like all the other online poker rooms, security at Cake Poker is very important. To date there have been no known issues with site security.
Banking (7)
The deposit options at Cake Poker seem almost limitless. For Deposits players can use Visa, Mastercard, Diners Club, Neteller, Moneybookers, paysafecard, ecocard, UseMyWallet, ewalletexpress, Visa Electron, Maestro, Solo, Delta, Poli, giropay, Sofortuberweisung, iDeal, CartaSi, Laser, Inteligo, DK, €Nets, and a few other options. Many of the deposit options are specific to certain countries.
Withdrawal methods here are not quite as many as the deposit methods. Withdrawals can be requested back to the credit card a player used for their deposit. Courier checks are available for a fee, as well as ewalletexpress and UseMyWallet. Most withdrawal methods have fees attached.
