Games and People:

Circus Poker offer a good range of poker and the style of games and tables reflect their land based roots.  I think this is also reflected in player types.  Over the next three years I believe this room will grow massively.  I suggest you get on board early and win some of the great prizes on offer.

Tournaments and Promotions:

Circus Poker is part of the iPoker network so it will have some of the same tournaments on offer that other iPoker rooms have.  Through out the Circus Poker Review we've noticed that Circus Poker offer great welcome bonus's and ongoing bonus's,  The Tournaments they offer have some great potential.  For example the Penny Tournaments, Monster Guaranteed and you can begin to plot your course to the WSOP through Circus Poker. 

Customer Service and Security:

Security is very good at Circus Poker they deploy the most sophisticated technology available today including encryption and firewall technology to protect your security, your privacy, and to ensure that you experience fair play. By using industrial grade encryption technology (1024 bit RSA key exchange and 448 bit Blowfish), they provide protection for your data far in excess of the more common commercial grade SSL protection. This same technology is being utilised by major financial institutions worldwide.

All banking transactions are settled by international financial institutions with high standards of confidentiality and secure networks. Access to account information is also restricted by a player's unique sign in ID and password.
 

The customer Service doesn't have an IM which is something we feel they could improve on.  It does have telephone and email support.

Depositing and Withdrawing:

There isn't a massive range of product options with Circus Poker.  But it has to be said that you can deposit very low amounts and the variety of withdrwing available is safe and relatively non expensive.
