If you love online poker and the UFC, you might want to check out the new UFC Poker room. Then again, maybe not. While the room is a place to play free online poker, the room is lacking in many ways. As both a UFC fan and a poker nut, I was disappointed to see the room, which isn’t a ‘real’ poker room yet.

If you’re interested in playing online, why not play at the UFC sponsored site Full Tilt Poker instead? At Full Tilt Poker, not only can you play for real money (can’t at UFC Poker), but they also offer so many things that UFC Poker cannot.

Let’s look at the differences:

  • Real money poker at Full Tilt, only play money at UFC Poker. Full Tilt Poker has free poker games as well, but also micro stakes up to high stakes games real money games. You can even watch Phil Ivey and other top pros battle it out for millions of dollars on an almost nightly basis.
  • No ring games at UFC Poker, only tournaments.
  • Full Tilt Poker has thousands of free tournaments running all the time, compared to just a few at UFC Poker. They also have real money tournaments that run every day, with prize pools as high as $1.5 million.
  • Well over 100,000 simultaneous players during peak hours, compared to about 1000 at UFC Poker.
  • UFC Poker software is slow, lacking in functionality, has hard to read buttons, and forces you to watch commercials periodically. Full Tilt has possibly the best poker software online, and of course no stupid commercials to deal with.
  • UFC Poker only offers Texas Hold’em and Royal Hold’em, while Full Tilt offers Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo, Razz, HORSE, HOSE, and several other mixed games.

I could go on and on about the differences, but here’s what it comes down to. The UFC Poker room is not a ‘real’ poker room while Full Tilt Poker is arguably the best poker site in the world. There simply is no comparison. Hopefully UFC Poker will work on their software, prizes, and add cash games to their selection in the near future. We’d also like to see them offer real money poker of course. Even for free-play players, I can’t see any reason to play at UFC Poker over Full Tilt.

UFC Poker Review

UFC Poker is a new online poker site running on it’s own software platform. As a stand-alone site, players volume is very low. Add to that the fact that there are no real money games or ring game tables, there are few reasons to play here right now. As an MMA and UFC fan myself, I have no interest in bashing the UFC Poker room. However, this is a poker site and I have to be honest to our visitors.

I hope to be able to provide a more positive review of UFC Poker in the future. For now, this is my review.

UFC Poker Tournaments

Tournaments are all that are offered at UFC Poker right now. They are for play chips and some have small prizes available. Some are short-handed (5 players), some are heads-up, and some are full, ten player tournaments. There are also multi-table tournaments available as well.

Players earn points for winning, which can be used to buy UFC swag (once you’ve won a lot). The competition is absolutely terrible, so winning should be easy for any decent player.

UFCPoker.com Ring Games

No ring games are available for free or real money. This is a huge problem the room will need to fix asap. Otherwise, they’ll have a hard time keeping players around very long. I imagine the point is to keep players at the tournament tables so they can offer little prizes, but what about players who just want to learn the game? Yet another reason to sign up at Full Tilt Poker instead.

UFCPoker Room Game Choices

Texas Hold’em and Royal Hold’em are the only games currently available. No Omaha, Stud, Razz or other poker games are currently being run.

UFC Poker Software

The software at UFCPoker is similar to real online poker sites 8-10 years ago (an eternity in the online world). It’s difficult to see how many chips opponents have bet, and the action buttons are difficult to use.

While I wouldn’t say the software is ’slow’, compared to real online poker sites it is. There are very few functions, and none that really appeal to serious players.

The lobby is also a bit difficult to use. Figuring out what each type of tournament is can be tough. Also, terms not normally used in tournament lobby’s complicate things further.

Right now, this thing is a mess and I’m not sure what the UFC is trying to accomplish from the endeavor. Possibly the idea is to have a player base established for if & when the US market becomes regulated, or maybe it’s a way they’re trying to keep their fight fans loyal to the UFC. Whatever the case, with sites like Full Tilt Poker and Pokerstars out there, I can’t see any reason to play here.

US Players Welcome

Getting the $1000 bonus tracked is as simple as these 3 steps:

1/ Download Players Only Poker

2/ Make your first deposit using any of the instant deposit options (credit cards are best).

3/ Go to the ‘Rewards‘ tab in the Players Only Poker lobby. Then click on ‘Deposit Bonus‘. Type POKER$1000 into the field that says ‘Enter Your Bonus Code‘.

* Note: Players must use our promotion code embedded links to get the bonus. All of our links to Players Only have the promotion code embedded, so you can use any of them.

Players Only Poker Promotion Code Details

What we love most about this Players Only promotion code is the easy clearing requirements. While the bonus is huge, at 100% up to $1000, clearing requirements are really what separate good bonuses and bad ones. A huge bonus might look attractive at first glance, but once you start playing, how fast do you earn bonus money? Some poker rooms make it so hard to clear their bonus, they could offer a million dollars and it wouldn’t make any difference.

Register at Players Only Poker

Typically big bonuses are set up with poor, slow clearing requirements. However, our Players Only promotion code (Poker$1000) not only offers the huge bonus, but it also has possibly the easiest clearing requirements online.

First, players earn the bonus in $10 chunks. So, every time you’ve cleared $10 of the promotion code, $10 will be automatically deposited into your player account. Players have 60 days from the date of their first deposit to make as much of the bonus as they can.

For each $10 chunk, players need to earn 167 Frequent Player Points (16.7 FPP’s per $1).

Earning Frequent Player Points in Cash Games

Players receive 1 FPP per dollar raked at ring game tables. For example, if a hand rakes $1.50, you’ll earn 1.5 FPP’s. Partial FPP’s are awarded as well, so a $.50 rake will award players .5 FPP’s.

Up to 3 points can be earned per hand, meaning that $1 in bonus can earned in as few as 6 hands.

Earning Frequent Player Points in Tournaments

For every $1 paid in tournament fees, players get 7 FPP’s. This translates into a 42% return, which is tied for the very best in the business. If you’re an active sit-n-go player, there is no doubt that this is the bonus you should be going after.

At many rooms, the best way to clear the bonus is via cash games. However, with our Players Only promotion code, those who are break-even or better sit-n-go players have a real opportunity to make more bonus money than they have at any other online poker site. Finally one of these rooms have started to reward their sit-n-go players properly.

Mini FTOPS #14 gets underway beginning on December 9th and running through the 20th, with 25 tournament events. As a smaller version of the Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS), the small buy-in amounts leave room for Christmas presents and a plump turkey.

Don’t let the small buy-ins fool you. The prize money that can be won is still huge. The smallest guaranteed prize pool is $30,000, with most tournaments promising $100,000 – $400,000. The Main Event has a guaranteed prize pool of $600,000, with a direct buy-in of just $50+5.

The only exceptions are event #12, a 6-max NL Hold’em tournament with a $300,000 guaranteed prize pool, and event #22 which is a $266, 2 day NL Hold’em tournament. This event has a guaranteed prize pool of $400,000. Players in event #22 will get 5000 chip starting stacks, and the blinds go up every 30 minutes.

The whole thing begins on Wednesday, December 9th at 5pm ET. Event #1 is a $22, $250,000 guaranteed, 6-max NL Hold’em tournament. From there, most days will see two new tournament events being run. 17 of the tournaments will be some version of Texas Hold’em, and the others are a variety of Omaha, Stud, Razz and HORSE.

If you want a shot at turning the cost of a few beers into some really big money, play in Full Tilt Mini FTOPS event #7. If has a guaranteed prize pool of $250,000 and a very small buy-in of just $10+1. This is a rebuy tournament, but if you start off well you may not need to rebuy at all.

As a heads-up tournament player myself, event #9 has me all hot & bothered. Running on Sunday December 13th at 3pm ET, this is a NL Hold’em heads-up tournament with a $50+5 buyin and $150,000 guaranteed prize pool. I’ll be there for sure. To join, download Full Tilt Poker, use referral code PHATBONUS when you register (will get you a 100% bonus up to $600), and go to the Full Tilt lobby. You’ll see all of the Mini FTOPS 14 events listed under ‘Tournaments‘ > ‘FTOPS‘.

Event #10 is another great NL Hold’em tournament. It has a direct buy-in of just $33, but a huge prize pool of $400,000. This tournament will be played at 5pm ET on Sunday, December 13th.

The Full Tilt Mini FTOPS 14 Main Event runs on Sunday, December 20th at 5pm ET. As mentioned above, the direct buy-in is $55 and the prize pool is guaranteed to be no less than $600,000. The top prize should be no less than $93,000, with well over 1000 players making the money.

New Marketing Code for Pokerstars

Pokerstars recently introduced a new $600 bonus for first time depositing players. The new marketing code for Pokerstars is PSP2175. Using this marketing code, along with Pokerstars bonus code Stars600, all new players can get the new 100% bonus up to $600.

During the registration process you will see a form asking for your marketing code for Pokerstars. All you have to do is click on the ‘Website’ button, then type in the marketing code in the field below. It’s easy, you can’t miss it. Be sure to write down the marketing code and bonus code, and use our links to make sure you get credited for your bonus.

DOWNLOAD & REGISTER AT POKERSTARS

Our marketing code for Pokerstars allows new players not one, not two, but three total deposits that can apply to the new bonus. After making your first deposit, you can make two more deposits (within 90 days) that will all apply to the bonus. For example; you make your first deposit today, for $200. Next month you deposit another $200. The following month you deposit another $200. Since all three of your first deposits were within 90 days, Pokerstars will allow you to earn the first deposit bonus on the full $600 you deposited. This is unique to the Pokerstars bonus, other online poker sites do not allow this.

Marketing Code for Pokerstars Clearing Requirements

To earn the Pokerstars bonus, players need to earn 17 VIP Player Points (VPP’s).VPP’s are earned while playing all real money cash games and tournaments that have a fee. Players have 6 months to clear as much of the bonus as they can. Unlike the old bonus that paid out in one lump sum, our new Pokerstars marketing code pays out in $10 increments. This is great for replenishing depleted accounts, and for building your bankroll. Play at Pokerstars Now

Pokerstars Marketing Code VPP Points in Cash Games

In cash games, players can earn up to 3 VPP’s per hand. While most pots will earn players .5 – 2 VPP’s, if you play high enough stakes, you can earn $1 in bonus in as few as 6 hands – that’s fast. Even if you are playing in games that earn 1 VPP per hand, that only requires 17 hands per dollar in bonus. For cash game players, this is a can’t-miss bonus.

With the old marketing code for Pokerstars, micro & low stakes players couldn’t earn bonus money in small pots. This has changed. The new clearing requirements for this marketing code allow all micro and low stakes players to earn VPP’s, meaning they can now earn bonus money. For micro sized pots, partial points are now awarded – this is great news.

Pokerstars Marketing Code VPP Points in Tournaments

In tournaments, players receive 5 VPP’s per dollar paid in fees. Sit-n-go tournament players can earn the bonus fairly quickly. Just 4 $10+1 sit-n-go tournaments will earn you $1 in bonus, plus 3 more VPP’s towards your next $1 in bonus.

Clearing the Pokerstars Marketing Code Requirements Faster

To clear the bonus as quickly as possible, players can multi-table up to 24 tables. If you play 2 tables at a time, you’ll earn VPP’s and bonus money twice as fast. If you play three tables at a time, you’ll earn the bonus three times faster.

Using the Marketing Code for Pokerstars

Remember to grab a piece of paper and write down the marketing code for Pokerstars, along with the bonus code. You will need to enter the marketing code during the registration / sign up process, and the bonus code when you make your first deposit.
