Empire Poker - Former Skin Of Party Poker Trying To Make It On Its Own
SCREENSHOT
EMPIRE POKER was until recently part of the same clutch of sites as PARTY POKER (amongst others). This meant that these sites had one great advantage over all the others : they had the most players (up to 70,000 playing at any one time), so there was always a game going on at the levels you wanted to play. Since floating on the London stock market, however, Party Poker has now decided not to share its players with other poker rooms, and it isn't yet clear what effect this will have on former "skin" sites such as Empire. The software is reliable enough, reasonably quick, and relatively easy on the eye. Customer service is notoriously patchy, but EMPIRE has a good reputation for reliable withdrawal of winnings. EMPIRE offers hand histories so you can analyse important hands after they've been played. There are regular re-deposit bonuses, freerolls etc... and Empire are sure to offer more of these in the coming months as they battle to win players who would otherwise up sticks and head over to Party Poker. If Empire can attract enough players they will have a decent future - if not they could struggle to compete with the giants of the industry such as Party.

HOW EASY IS IT TO GET THE BONUS?
Very easy. You need to play 5 times the amount of the bonus in raked hands. This means you'll need to play around $500 worth of raked hands if you deposit $500 and want to claim the maximum $100 bonus. You must play this number of hands within 30 days – if you don't clear the full bonus after this amount of time you'll be credited with however much of the bonus you have earned. You can play at any level of stakes to qualify – for full details of the stakes offered, and what constitutes a "raked hand" see their web site.
