PKR Review

PKR Sign up Bonus

Update November 6 2011

New pkr bonus code.

PKR  is an online poker website, which offers visitors the chance to play poker through one of the most well developed software out there. It was launched in 2006, when many large poker websites were active for some time, and it managed to gain a top position in the online poker world.

First of all, if you would like the chance to play on PKR.com for real money, just go to their website, download the gaming software and create an account. While creating an account, you can benefit from a 100% bonus for your first deposit of up to $800. That means that anything you deposit up to eight hundred will be doubled by PKR. All you have to do is enter one of the online poker bonus codes for pkr, like “PKRBONUS”.

That’s a fairly large bonus, easily comparable to other online poker websites. But PKR offers a second, much larger bonus for its more experienced (or more financially blessed) customers. If you’re one of them, all you need to do is enter another code in the promotions field while signing up. It’s “pkraces” (no, not PK races, it’s PKR Aces), and you get another 100% bonus, but this time it’s for up to $2,000. However, you have to deposit a minimum of $1,000 to benefit from this promotion. So use one of these online poker bonus codes when you sign up.

I’d like to start this short PKR presentation with the thing that makes it stand out from all the other dozens of online poker rooms out there: its impressive gameplay software. I’ve tried out many of the largest poker websites, and I’m always bothered that, apart from the style of the buttons, the background or the seating arrangements, they’re all basically the same. PKR comes with a 3D, realistic world, where the accent is put not only on the game itself, but on characters and on the community. So, if you want more than a tense poker game and you’re looking for something enjoyable to pass the time (while you’re making a few bucks) this is the right place for you. Another design feature that caught my eye was the total customizability of the game view – you can practically view the table any way you want to.

As I’ve said, PKR lets you build your very own avatar, where you can customize just about any aspect of its appearance. You then log on and play against other people and their avatars. It’s all fun, as I discovered a few years back, when I first played on PKR. But it’s a little too distracting if you’re the kind of player that needs focus – you have a lot of options to control your avatar, many of which I never had the chance to use. But, on the other side, as PKR advertises, all these “accessories” can help improve your game on PKR – you can easily read poker tells (not on your opponent, but on his avatar and by the way he controls it), and you can easily set the mood at your table with everything from the gestures that your avatar makes right up to the clothes he’s wearing. PKR teaches you how to best use them for your advantage, and how to read the way others are using it.

In addition to tells, avatars are the basic structure the online community is formed. To be part of the community, you can sign on to the PKR forum, participate in the events they organize, get involved  by watching PKR TV, or simply log in and play against the five thousand players that are online at any given time.

PKR has a section on their website called “Raise your game”, which is pretty rare on these websites nowadays – the section is filled with poker tips and strategies from professional players, destined to improve good players’ game and give a sense of notion to total beginners. Another thing I loved and lacks from other sites is the cool, structured search of tournaments – you can refine your search and find just the right tournament for you to join.

The website has a “Responsible gambling” section, like many other gaming room’s I’ve seen. But, unlike others, it’s not hidden away and put there to calm critics. No, it’s in plain view, reachable from the first page, and it makes a huge statement – PKR cares more about the well-being of their players than making money from their weaknesses. That, brave as it may be, is also a far more productive approach in the long run – if you don’t go bankrupt playing all your money at once you can play for years on end and end up investing more, and being more satisfied.

PKR currently runs a rewards option, giving the players the chance to earn PKR Points as they play. Each time you play poker for real money, you earn points. These points can be exchanged for entry fees to special tournaments, tickets to events or merchandise from the online PKR store. As an added bonus, you can buy gear for your in-game avatar – which is a benefit for both yourself and PKR.

The website also has six levels of loyalty. As you gain points and become a more active member in the “PKR Club”, you can move up the ladder and increase your level. By doing this, you unlock many features of the game, such as access to your very own private tournaments, gifts, a substantial increase in deposit limits or even VIP access to all PKR events. The six levels you can have access to are Member, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond.

So, if you liked what you have read about PKR, just remember, signing up and playing is easy, and you are fully stimulated by their two promotions that double your first deposit. And don’t forget to use a PKR poker bonus code. If you enter “igsbonus” you get a 100% bonus for a deposit up to $800, and if you enter “pkraces” you benefit from a 100% bonus for a deposit up to $2,000, provided that you deposit a minimum of $1,000.
