Choosing an Online Poker Site
What to Look For in a Poker Site
As the popularity of poker sites has increased so has the number of poker sites. Because of this there are now dozens of sites to choose from. Most of the newer poker sites have copied successful older sites and as a result, most of the features offered by these new sites are similar to each other. While this makes it safer for online poker players to try out new poker sites, it also makes it more difficult to choose between poker sites. One way to distinguish between a good poker site and a great poker site is to know what characteristics to look for.
Make a List
The first step to take when looking for a poker site is to make a list of features that you want in your poker site. For example if you are an infrequent player who is only looking to play poker for fun, then you will want to look for poker sites that offer free games and/or low stakes games. On the other hand, if you are an advanced poker player who plays all the time, then you will want to look for poker sites that offer generous Welcome Bonuses, loyalty bonuses, and comp point programs. You may also want to look for poker sites that offer high stakes games. After you draft your list, you should then select your top two or three features that you want the most.

Look For a Poker Site
The next step is to use your feature list to find poker sites that offer what you want. If you are not familiar with any of the online casinos than a good place to start looking for a poker site match is at one of the many poker site review websites. These sites offer a break down of all the main features that the poker site offers including bonuses offered, customer service rating, games offered, tournaments offered, gaming software used, etc. Some good poker site review websites that you can read to find a poker site match are: UltimateCapper.com, PokerTips.org, and TopPoker.org.
Making a Match
After you have found one or more poker sites that offer what you are looking for, your next step is to examine the poker site as a whole to see which one is the best poker site for you. Characteristics that you will want to look for include 24/7 customer service, financial security, and that the site is licensed. If a poker site does not offer you one of these things then it is a good idea to discard it as a possibility. If after running several sites through your evaluation process you still end up with more than one poker site that you like then try them both out to see which one fits your tastes the best.
