Just a short while ago, PKR.com signed its two millionth member. For an online poker site that has not been around for as long as some of its closest competitors, this is an amazing achievement. Our PKR Tournament review also helped us discover that this is even more impressive due to the fact that PKR.com does not allow US players access to the site due to stringent anti-gambling laws in the USA. This limits PKR’s access to many players because the USA still has one of the biggest online gambling communities in the world. Even with these odds stacked against them, PKR is still the fastest-growing online poker site that does not accept US players and the second-fastest growing in the world.
PKR’s main attraction is the tournaments that it has to offer. This is what brings tens of thousands of players every hour to the website to play the poker games. PKR offers its members two main types of pokers, but there are so many variations to choose from that members will never feel that the product offering has become stale.
The poker site offers players the option of satellite tournaments, major event poker tournaments and 24 hour a day sit & go tables. This is what makes PKR one of the better online poker sites due to the fact that there is always something going on. PKR also offers its members loyalty points. These points can be traded for buy-ins, tournament tickets and a whole range of special PKR merchandise.
Tournament poker is the biggest attraction at PKR. Tournament poker has been made popular thanks largely to the formation of several poker television channels. This has given the broader community more access to the game of poker and has therefore led to amazing growth in tournament poker.
PKR allows anyone over the age of 18 years to participate in tournament poker.
Gone are the days where tournament poker is limited to only the professional players. The tournaments at PKR work like all other tournaments. Players buy in for a certain amount and all players receive chips for the same total as the buy-in. Players will then play until they are knocked out of the tournament – this happens when a player loses all of his or her chips. The tournament continues until one player is left with all the chips. This player is declared the winner. In order to make things more interesting as the game progresses, the blinds are increased on an ongoing basis so that the stakes right at the end are near professional poker levels.
It is not only the outright winner who walks away with the cash prize. The buy-ins from all the players get put into the overall pot and then dished out to the top finishers. All tournaments vary in prize money, and this is dependent on how many players take part and also how big the buy-ins are.
A great feature we discovered during out PKR Tournament review was that members are able to check the leader boards to see who the most successful players are. The top players are always awarded with special offers and these promotions change on a daily basis. Another major attraction at PKR, aside from the sit & gos and satellites, is the Terminator Tournament series. These tournaments allow players to receive high payouts with very small buy-ins.
