Popularity: 7 of 10 – Good

As a part of the Cake Poker Network, Players Only is a reputable site that has great appeal to online poker players.  It offers a wide range of different tournaments and ring games that appeal to people of all budgets.  During peak periods a large number of the tables are fell and it is common to see games attract large amount of players.

Player Competition: 7 of 10 – Good

The Cake Poker Network has a good reputation for attracting a wide variety of players who have varying degrees of experience and budgets.  Rakebacks are available for Players Only so a large amount of people do make a living through small margin wins.  The games that are below the $100 NL level are very soft and all players should find that they are able to make a profit from their poker activities.

Site Software: 7 of 10 – Good

One of the areas that lets Players Only down concerns the standard of their software.  This isn’t as impressive as that available on their other sites.  The graphics are produced using standard designs and because they are not vectorized they do not resize well.  The lobby images and layout is quite standard and players can find games they want to play by using standard drop down menus.  Avatars are created from real pictures and players can select an avatar and enhance certain features.  Although this is interesting at first, it soon loses its appeal and some players use it as a method of causing distraction to other players at the table through enhancing certain characteristics.

Customer Support: 9 of 10 – Excellent

The customer service available from Poker Only is second to none and quite possibly the best available.  They have a wide range of different methods of accessing support and users can quickly and easily access customer help.  In order to gain assistance players can select from different options including chatting to a customer care representative live online, via email or through telephone support.  Representatives were readily available and were knowledgeable and efficient.  For players who are not very experienced in using poker rooms and who may need help and support the customer service available on this site make mean that Poker Only is their best choice.

Company Ethics: 9 of 10 – Excellent

Players Only supports players from the United States and offers readily available customer service and support.  They have a reputable backing company and their sports books is one of the best available in the world today.  It’s a good, solid company.

Site Promotions: 8 of 10 – Good

Players Only offer a wide range of attractive promotions and tournaments.  These include the following:

• Aggressive rakeback on the 100% match for match bonus.
• 10% immediately available cash received on all initial deposits.
• “Half juice Fridays” where wagers can be placed at a reduced price.
• Gold Rush promotions that allow players to earn gold chips that can be used to buy into tournaments

Overall Review: 7.8 of 10 – Good

Although Players Only is relatively new on the online poker scene, it is already attracting a wide variety of players.  They are able to use their relationship with the Cake Network to offer solid and attractive promotions and have already started to build a constant traffic stream.  In our opinion Players Only is an ideal site for new players who are unfamiliar with online poker.
