An In Depth Look at Action Poker

By David Patron


There is a reason behind that exclamation point in the company's logo and it's motto "Get Some." Action Poker is a site that will keep you focused on your poker action for many a game. The company is owned and operated by Ecom Enterprises which is a fully owned subsidiary of Playsafe Holding AS, so can be sure that company knows its games.

Action Poker is under the regulation of the Kahnawake Gaming Commission and is based in Norway (OTC), thus making it a very informed international poker organization. Action Poker began its business in 1999 with software licensed from the Action Poker Network (APN). This is a company that is established and secure enough to win the patronage of the poker community by going to all ends to improve the players online experience.

The software will only run on a PC platform with a Microsoft Windows environment of 98 or later and downloads in a blink. Don't look for the software anywhere else as it is exclusive to the Action Poker site. When you log in, you will be instantly notified of the latest bonus which is a fun feature. MAC users are at a disadvantage as they cannot play on Action Poker.

The update tool, found under options at the top bar of the screen, is a dandy feature that lets you download the latest version of the software at anytime that is convenient to you. The software is drop-down and button-based making it intuitive and easy to navigate. You will also get a news ticker and flashing ads to keep you apprised of the latest in poker information and events. There are other nifty features of the application like links to the minutiae of all game rules under the help menu as well as a display of the casino and blackjack games right smack in front of you. The customer is king here.

You will encounter 300 tables with 3,000 players at any time on the site. Going further than just the standard games like limit, fixed limit and pot limit holdem, Omaha, and seven card stud, the ecstatic player will also come across more esoteric offerings. There is Guts poker, Monte Carlo Guts and Survivor Guts, all card games that will challenge even the most skilled player. Then there is a game called Pan which is rummy-based and popularly played by true gamblers in California.

The wagers start at $.01/02 and go upwards to $50/100 covering every player's wallet and skill level. Tournament play is not a big feature at Action Poker but the games that do exist include freerolls and fine formats to make up for their sparse appearances. While there are only a few tournaments, buy in begins at one thin dime and can lead to big rewards and one could go for the World Series packages if a buy-in of $1,400 doesn't weaken them. There are certainly ample opportunities among the variety of games on the site to earn some great bonus money and prizes.

A high point of the promotions is the satellites to the Winter Games in Vancouver which comes with tickets to the 2010 Men's Hockey Gold Final. The bonuses are primarily tournament based on Action Poker so the site fronts guarantees that are very appealing to its customers. Do not forget the Stanley and Frieda tournament which is a bounty tournament happening on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays in which a player receives an extra 30 bucks for doing in Stanley or Frieda. The site also has satellites to the World Series of Poker so you can be sure this site isn't going to go away any time soon.

Action Poker's longevity has attracted companies like the International Gaming Council (IGC) and the random number generator tester ITECH Labs Australia to ensure that players will feel secure on the site for many years into the future. Action Poker willingly offers contact to three gambling addiction help facilities: GamCare, Gamblers Anonymous and the National Council on Problem Gambling. Clearly this is a site that exists for the well being of all its users.

Help is via email which is up and running 24/7 so the company can be contacted any time for any questions that the players may have and all will be answered promptly and to the player's satisfaction. The support site is extremely secure so a player need never feel their privacy is compromised and can focus on enjoying themselves at the site.

So go "get some" and enjoy yourself and your winnings.
