Sun Poker review
SunPoker is a popular medium-sized poker room with a variety of games that often attract players at the lower-stakes tables. The Caribbean-based site, whose management team has been involved in online gaming since 1997, is a leading member of the ever-growing iPoker Network, which is highly regarded for its gaming software. The site is also lauded for its security and customer support.

Traffic
During peak hours, SunPoker brings in more than 20,000 players. Still, high-stakes ring games rarely fill up. Most of the action occurs at No Limit and Pot Limit Texas Hold ‘Em and Pot Limit Omaha tables with blinds at $1/2 or less. But you can find a $20 sit-and-go with relative ease. As traffic decreases significantly as the sun sets in Europe, you can still get involved in a $20 SNG with little wait. No matter what time of day, Omaha Hi-Lo, 5-Card and 7-Card stud games do not attract much attention at all.
Aesthetics
SunPoker’s site is similar to many of the other iPoker Network sites, but the poker room has its own personality. And both SunPoker.com and its poker room are easy to navigate. The software developers also go out of their way to ensure the fairness of every game with excessive testing.
Deposit and Cashout
Some of the options for depositing and withdrawing money include Visa, Mastercard, Neteller, WebMoney, Click2Pay, bank transfer and player-to-player transfer.
Support
SunPoker has set up five different e-mail addresses to deal with specific support issues. In addition, the support team has help available via telephone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can also utilize live chat support from noon to 2 a.m. GMT.
Unique Pros / Cons
To cater to its many inexperienced players, SunPoker has a Beginners’ Table and tutorials on all of the poker games it offers. Beginners can learn the game by checking SunPoker’s hand-strength feature as well. The site also rewards regular customers with its VIP Poker Club. And for those looking for a break from poker, SunPoker also offers casino games such as blackjack, roulette and slots.
Players occasionally can be disconnected during play. And for legal reasons, the room doesn’t allow U.S. players any more. But that hasn’t led to a decrease in traffic. SunPoker’s reliability, security and loyalty to its patrons have seen to that.
