OnlyPoker Review

OnlyPoker is a relatively new poker site that operates on the Cake Poker Network, which is a group of poker sites that opened for business in 2005. As a member of the Cake Poker Network, Only Poker has been able to quickly establish a large and loyal player base.

Despite its relatively recent entrance into the poker market, Only Poker has been able to leverage its partnership with the Cake Poker Network to offer its players an impressive collection of bonuses, player incentives and guaranteed prize pool tournaments. Thanks to these bonuses and a reputation for honesty and safety, Only Poker is quickly becoming a big contender in the poker world.

Only Poker Bonus

Every new player at Only Poker is eligible to receive a 110% first time deposit bonus for up to $600 in free cash. This bonus is based on your first deposit at Only Poker. If you sign up today and deposit $300, for example, Only Poker will throw in an additional $330 on top of that.

The bonus funds start out in a special bonus account and are then transferred to you in $10 increments as you earn Frequent Player Points (FPPs). Every time you earn 167 FPPs, $10 of your bonus will be automatically moved from your bonus account to your real money account.

Every time you play in a real money cash game or tournament, you will earn FPPs based on the amount of rake you pay. In cash games, one FPP is awarded for every dollar paid in rake. In tournaments, every dollar paid in tournament fees is worth 7 FPPs. These FPPs add up quickly but you’ll still have 90 days to clear your bonus. Most players never have a problem clearing the entire bonus.

Only Poker Tournaments

Only Poker hosts a wide variety of multi-table tournaments and sit-n-go tournaments with buyins ranging from $0 to more than $100. More than $20,000,000 is given away in guaranteed prize pool tournaments every month. The daily $25K, weekly $100,000 Guarantee and monthly $250,000 Guarantee tournaments are among the most popular tournaments at Only Poker.

In addition to its standard tournaments, Only Poker also hosts a variety of specialty tournaments that includes satellites, freerolls, bounty tournaments, turbos and more. The satellite tournaments are especially lucrative because through those, players can win free entries to major live tournaments such as the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour.

Only Poker Player Traffic

Player traffic was once a major weakness of Only Poker but things have picked up for them over the years. The Cake Poker Network is growing larger every week as more and more players sign up at their various sites. Every site on the Cake Poker Network shares players so any time you play at Only Poker, you’ll be able to play against thousands of players. At the time of this review, there were 7,943 players logged in on the network.

Only Poker Game Variety

Only Poker offers all the most popular poker variants including Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven Card Stud and Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo. Texas Holdem gets the most traffic but you’ll still find quite a few Omaha tables during peak hours. The Seven Card Stud tables are usually pretty dead, however.

Players of all skill levels will be glad to know that Only Poker offers a wide variety of stakes for all its poker variants. The fixed limit tables start out at $0.04/$0.08 and go all the way up to $100/$200. The no limit tables start out at $0.02/$0.04 ($4.00 buyin) and go up to $25/$50 ($5,000 buyin).
