Poker Site Summary:

Due to US legislation, CD Poker has determined to suspend all their real money gaming business with US residents. CD Poker is a very fast growing poker room in the iPoker network which uses PlayTech's poker software. CD Poker's software has a nice look and feel, with colorful graphics. The functionality is good after a big software update and the games run smooth and fast.

There is quite decent player volume and games are spread in Holdem and Omaha (High and High-Low) both in ring games, as well as heads-up, sit-and-go and multi-table tournaments. As lots of the players come from other online casinos in the PlayTech network, the poker games are very loose with lots of soft competition and less savvy poker players. In September, 2008 ring games had 2,000-2,650 players at peak hours and tournaments had 8,000-12,000.

Ring game traffic (8/10)

CD Poker and the iPoker network have about 2,000-2,650 ring game players at peak hours in September, 2008, where almost all of the traffic is at no-limit and fixed limit Texas Holdem.

Tournament Traffic (8/10)

CD Poker's traffic at the tournaments is higher than at cash games when real money traffic can reach somewhere around 8,000-12,000 players at peak hours in September, 2008. The sit and go tournaments are particularly popular in this network.

Game Variety (7/10)

CD Poker has pretty much a bare bones game variety with Texas Holdem and Omaha Hi-Lo and High games, which are available in both limit, pot-limit. Texas Holdem is of course available in no-limit version as well. Table stakes range from $0.5/$1 to $20/$40 in the fixed limit games, and $0.25/$0.50 up to $5/$10 in pot-limit and no-limit games. (The fixed limit Omaha games have a bit lower maximum limits). There are both heads-up, sit-and-go and fixed schedule multi-table tournaments. The tournaments have a better variety overall.

Rake (8/10)

The rake at CD Poker is lower than the average online poker room. The general policy is the standard 5% rake taken in increments up to $3. But on several types of tables there are lower maximum rakes. On fixed limit tables up to $1/$2 there is a $1 maximum rake. More importantly all tables with 2-3 players have a maximum rake of $1 and tables with 4-5 players have a $2 maximum rake - which also includes no-limit and pot-limit short handed games! There is a "no flop - no drop" policy for hands not reaching the flop.

Soft Competition (8/10)

CD Poker has really soft games, the only downside is that there are few higher stakes games spread (as the network is relatively new). Most of the volume is in the fixed limit and no-limit Texas Holdem games. The view flop percentage is normally is the 40-ies or 50's at CD Poker which is clearly high. The players are also a bit passive (very generally speaking). In all, it is quite easy to be a winning player at CD Poker and the iPoker network. Actually, the potential for the iPoker network to build soft games is strong as they 'organically' recruit new players from the PlayTech online casino base.

Loyalty Bonus (7/10)

There is a point system (CD points), whereby players get entered into special free rolls and can get high value re-load bonus offers. For each played hand (getting dealt cards) in a raked pot a player earns 1-4 CD points depending on table limits. $0.25/$0.50 blinds give 1 point, $0.50/$1 blinds give 2 points and $1/$2 blinds and up give 4 points.

Financial Security (8/10)

CD Poker is secure, as this room is operated by Club Dice Casino and is also part of iPoker, which is backed by the renowned casino software developer and operator PlayTech.
