Mansion Poker

Mansion Poker, which was recently acquired by the already vast iPoker network, originally operated as a stand alone poker entity in 2005. Joining the iPoker network to expand its player base and poker varieties, the experienced poker company continues to give a large bang for its buck to its online consumers.

With its inclusion on iPoker's network of sites, the site boasts large multi-table tournament fields, lots of guaranteed prize money, and some of the latest innovations in the online poker world. With tons of traffic regularly flowing through the site, whether it be strictly poker, or your favorite casino game, Mansion Poker makes it easy to access exactly what you're looking for. Quality exudes within every niche.

The iPoker network's use of 3D graphics is consistently evident across several of its poker platforms. While there are subtle tweaks to separate each site from the next, Mansion Poker's software follows tradition by being eerily similar to the others. Cartoon-like avatars grace you with their presence, often appearing more like unsettled Sims characters than high-profile gamblers. While the asthetics are somewhat trite, it doesn't detract from the software's overall efficiency.

Mansion Poker supports both Java and downloadable versions of its popular products. Although the Java-based version lacks most of the bells and whistles its counterpart provides, it's still very functional.

Hand histories, player notes, multiple table support, in-game statistical tracking, and sound modifications are all available. The software allows you to play up to 16 tables at once, and usually doesn't succumb to much lag. Most of the latest options are present, which include auto-top up preferences for ring games, support for many different languages, a multi-currency poker lobby, customizable filters, player searches, time banking, and a quick seat option. As usually found with iPoker clients, you can find a selection of casino games to play while you're either waiting for a table, or simply bored while you're playing poker.

The smooth home screen allows users to easily find what they're looking for as well, whether it be the juiciest No-Limit game, or the highest limit Blackjack table.

With Mansion Poker, representatives are available at any time, and you can contact them through toll-free telephone, fax, or their quick email responses. Certainly top-notch support across the board.

By joining the iPoker network, during peak hours, you can find over 65,000 players participating in a combination of tournaments and cash games. With such heavy traffic, you'll likely receive a mix of extremely tough, average, and blatantly awful poker players at Mansion Poker. Although when looking up at the nosebleed stakes, you often won't find many fish, the medium stake games sometimes have viewed flop percentages that can range from 35%, to as high as 50%. All in all, it really depends on where you look if you're trying to find the most profitable places to invest your money.

Seven-Card Stud, Five-Card Draw, Omaha 8, Omaha Hi, and most variations of Texas Hold'Em are all found on Mansion Poker's software. In a unique twist, usually found strictly in brick and mortar casinos, Mansion Poker also offers a Bad Beat Jackpot. Although it's quite small, at the amount of $250, anyone beat by quad kings or better is awarded the jackpot.

The tournament scene at Mansion Poker is above normal standards. With it's substantial client base, the site regularly offers hefty $250K guaranteed tournaments on the weekends, and five-figure guarantees throughout the week. All of these tournaments are usually well-visited throughout any time of the day. While Sit-n-Gos are certainly still popular amongst many players, on Mansion Poker the extensive collection of them often makes it difficult to find exactly what you're looking for. Freezeout, rebuys, and turbo-structured events are all readily accessible. Mansion Poker is also famous for their extensive accessibility to online qualifiers and satellites for all of the major live events.

Regular freerolls of average value can be consistently found in the room's tournament tab. However, massive weekly and monthly freerolls are also available, often displaying prize pools as high as $15,000. As many players are accustomed to, some freerolls are available to all players, while some are distinguishable by private restrictions.

The limit stakes on Mansion Poker begin at $.02/$.04, and range up to $300/$600. Other pot-limit and no-limit games start at $.01/$.02, and go up to the $100/$200 level.

Mansion Poker boasts one of the most intriguing player reward systems in the world. Calling itself Club Mansion, the loyalty reward program works as most do, in rewarding its patrons with points they accumulate through gameplay, and can use towards several different prizes. Although it sounds very similar to other rooms, where Mansion Poker shines is in its actual rewards. Dependent upon whether you're a low level "Club Member", or a part of the elite "Diamond Club", players are granted the most sought after luxury prizes anyone could ever dream of. Ranging from the ever popular Beats by Dre Headphones, to a celebrity-driven bottle of Armand De Brignac Ace of Spades Champagne, to a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, you name it, and Mansion Poker almost certainly has it. Combine these rewards, with as much as $100,000 in cash that can be claimed with loyalty points, and you easily have one of the best poker reward systems ever created.

Visa, Mastercard, debit card, Click2Pay, Moneybookers, NETeller, Webmoney and bank transfer are just a few of the deposit options available for Mansion Poker. The withdrawal section contains many of the same processors, and wait times for withdrawals are typically around 48-72 hours.
