What We Say:
VIPpoker is a relatively new poker site, launched in 2004, but with a long history in the gaming industry, as an offshoot of VIPsports, which has been online since 1996. VIPpoker had an average of 900 players connected by (as of Nov.05) to the network which they share with pioneer poker room Planet Poker. VIPpoker hosts many loose games ideal for any low-limit poker player. The traffic is relatively low, especially for games other than hold’em and high stakes games. The functionality of the site is easy and practical, but could use some improvements in appearance. This site has much room for growth, particularly with few players to compete with for their guaranteed tournaments and large tournament prize packages.

VIPpoker's software has a wide range of personal configurability. They give you a full control panel to adapt audio options and a range of other preferences. You can play a maximum of 3 tables simultaneously at VIPpoker, where the graphic presentation is standard and plain, with an excel spreadsheet style format and table names made up of a series of letters and numbers.
