Sun Poker Review & Bonuses

Although most players probably won't be able to tell, this site as been around since online poker started to grow in popularity. Due to the poor software and lack of marketing however, the site never really took off and was left in the dust by sites like Poker Stars, Full Tilt and Party Poker. Players should consider playing on this site for small tournament fields and easy money. The play is not very sophisticated, so playing on this site as well as another site could help players keep their bankrolls high.

Features

This online poker site offers all of the varieties of Hold Em as well as the mixed games. Since traffic is not large on this site, the tournaments are small in terms of the fields and the guarantees. The software is far behind its time and could use really use some updating. If players do not care about graphics, this is a good site to find soft fields and some easy money.

Bonus/Rakeback

The bonus offer on this site is about the industry standard. Sun Poker will double all first time real money deposits as long as it does not exceed $600. This is equal to the bonuses of sites like Full Tilt, so for Sun Poker to offer this, it is clearly a generous bonus. Unfortunately, players cannot receive rakeback when playing on this site.

Tournaments

Due to the low traffic on the site, big guaranteed tournaments cannot be held. Therefore, players will only find small guaranteed tournaments with small fields. The satellites are standard but there are not many high stakes Sit and Gos running.

Traffic

It isn't the total amount of players that tells the story, but rather the age of the site. Sun Poker has been around for years now and with only a maximum of 5K players, it is clear that this poker site never really got off the ground. In terms of traffic and software the site is well behind other poker sites of the same age and even lacking behind younger sites.

Software

The graphics players will find on this site are not very impressive. They can be compared to a site like party poker. This is one of Sun Poker's weaker features. Overall, very weak software when compared to other sites.

Support

There are 4 main methods an online poker site can use to help resolve player problems: Phone, email, live chat and fax. Sun Poker uses all 4 of them. The support team at this online poker site is considered to be one of the best in the industry. Since the players have so many options, problems do not last long.
