FORTUNE POKER FULL SITE REVIEW

SITE HISTORY

Fortune Poker is the flagship site of the Boss Network, which has been growing steadily for the last 12 months. Through Absolute Incentives, players can receive a 30% rakeback deal at this poker room and also enjoy one of the fishiest sites around, fed by many sports gamblers. They have constant rake races and VIP tournaments for the regulars as well as a fantastic 200% sign up bonus up to €1.000. For players that like a small but fishy player pool plus an incredible bonus (on top of great rakeback), then Fortune Poker is a great destination.

GAMES OFFERED

Fortune Poker makes no bones about it - they are all about Texas Hold'em with a majority of the traffic at the Hold'em tables. However, as a European site, there is a good solid amount of traffic at the Omaha tables, and players can also sit in on Stud and 5 Card Draw games. The site offers up action for their variety of games in limit, pot limit and no limit forms. There are cash games offered starting at penny stakes all the way up to regular €1-€2 games. Tournaments include the €250.000 monthly guarantee as well as a weekly €100.000 guarantee tournament and a nightly €25.000 that starts at 20:00 GMT. There are also regular Live Event Satellite tournaments running in addition to regular tournaments and freerolls.

TRAFFIC

Fortune Poker is a small poker room but has shown a trend for steady growth over the last year. Because it's on the Boss Media network there are a ton of sites feeding traffic into the network, fueled by wayward sports gamblers who make their way to the poker tables. This has led many to believe the site is amongst the fishiest around, so players that don't mind a smaller player pool will clean up at the tables.

The tournaments are pretty well populated and the nightly €20.000 tournament is one of the highlights of the site because of the woefully skilled field. There are daily satellites to the monthly €250.000 guaranteed tournament which often has an overlay in addition to the weak player field.

VIP PROGRAMS & BONUSES

Currently, Fortune Poker is creating their official VIP area and program. Players actually have access to discuss and suggest what they would like to see as this area is being developed by visiting the Fortune Poker website. For now, Fortune Poker is offering the chance for players to play in VIP tournaments. Depending on the amount of money raked in a month, a player will be assigned to a specific "Tier" where the prize pool is either €3,000, €1,500 or €500.

For players that are shameless bonus whores, they will immediately fall in love with Fortune Poker. Right now the site is offering a ridiculous 200% bonus up to €1,000 which is one of the most lucrative in all of poker. The bonus is released in €10 increments for every €50 in rake paid at the tables. There are also reload bonuses available which include the current promotion of 100% up to €500 which is on a slightly different rake release schedule than the first time deposit bonus.

Finally, there are constant Rake Races going on at Fortune Poker that are usually in the neighborhood of €20,000 where players will be paid a bonus (top 125 players eligible) in two 15-day races. Between the deposit bonus, reload bonus, rake races and rakeback it seems like Fortune Poker has one of the better promotions going for poker players today.

LOBBY & TABLE SOFTWARE

This is definitely a simple lobby software that displays your name and your balance with frequent player points and tournament credits at the top right corner. The bad beat jackpot is displayed as well, and players can use the main table to navigate to the quick play area, tables, profile, settings, find player and support sections of the site. If you click on Tables you see sub-tabs for Texas Hold'em (aka cash ring games), Sit & Gos and Multi Tourney (multi-table tournaments).

The table software is very clean and easy to look at. There's a nice circular timer that gives a straightforward look at the amount of time remaining for a player to act. The animations for the chips and the cards aren't over-the-top but are pretty solid in quality. The art design of the tables, cards and chips are all well done giving the table a very nice look and layout. Cash game tables at this site are played 10-handed for full ring which is something a little different than at most poker rooms.

OVERALL IMPRESSIONS

Undoubtedly those of you that like to jump around sites in search of the best bonuses will immediately fall in love with Fortune Poker. The site is catered towards players that like Hold'em and Omaha games and the player pool is fishy to say the least. Between the amazing bonuses and 30% rakeback, Fortune Poker makes up for its lack of traffic with plenty of incentives.
