Poker Heaven review

Part of the Bossmedia Network, Poker Heaven is an up-and-coming poker room with more and more players joining each day. Whether it’s the generous rakeback (30% paid right into your poker account on the 5th of every month) or their signup bonus offer that’s so attractive, I’m not sure. Of course it could be that players like the highly-functional, not to mention good looking user interface, or the level of competition Poker Heaven presents. There are a whole bunch of fish playing here, so there could actually be some good value in the hands that you play.

If that weren’t enough, Poker Heaven is ready to provide a push to get you started. They’ll give you a 100% match on your first deposit up to €500. You need to work though, if you want to put your hands on that bonus or even a part of it. For every €75 you generate in rake, you’ll receive €10 of your bonus. This goes on and on till you reach €500, or 100% of your first deposit. You have 60 days to complete this process, otherwise the bonus expires. The bonus is not deducted from the rakeback, so you can rest assured you’ll get everything you worked for.

One of the main attractions at Poker Heaven is their VIP program. Being in a partnership with the European-based “The Poker Channel”, they are in a position to give their VIPs some pretty outstanding live event packages, not many other poker rooms can boast. They also have the possibility to feature selected players on television, and thus turn them into celebrities. Heck, if you like poker, you’re good at it, and you feel like 15 minutes of celebrity just won’t cut it for you, hit Poker Heaven and let the world know who you are.

There are several levels of VIP membership you can shoot for: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.

With that in mind, the traffic that Poker Heaven gets (about 6000 players online in peak hours) doesn’t exactly come as a surprise. Even those who don’t necessarily want to be movie-stars will find something attractive in Poker Heaven’s offer.

Swedish payers are welcome here, which is good news for you if you happen to live in Sweden, but might be bad news for all others. Given the fact that Sweeds are generally good poker players, expect to bump into a shark or two every now and then, in the sea of fish.

If you do, remember: running might be shameful but it can be pretty darn useful too.
