Review

PokerKing is the most famous poker room in the Winning network. This network has a lot of traffic from American and Canadian players, in fact, it is the largest site where US players can play online poker.
PokerKing combines high rakeback with access to poker statistics - the perfect formula for attracting regular customers. However, this does not mean that casual players do not play at PokerKing. Here you can meet players from countries where poker is banned or played underground: Turkey, Portugal, Australia, Israel.
An additional incentive to play at PokerKing is one of the best rakeback deals available today.

PokerKing is one of the few gambling networks where Americans can play after Black Friday.

Soft

The PokerKing software runs on the SJH Studio platform. In addition, the room client is available for Windows and Mac OS. PokerKing has a user-friendly interface that is easy to understand for anyone with little knowledge of online poker. At the top there are the menu sections. Below them you will find the tables and tournaments lobbies, and in the lower right corner there are filters and cashier buttons. PokerKing operates at a very high speed.

PokerKing is suitable for multi-tablers, as the limit of simultaneously open tables is 24.
It is acceptable to use poker software.

Traffic

The main traffic of PokerKing goes at night and in the morning Moscow time. From about 1 am it starts increasing noticeably and then it remains stable  until 10:00. At this time, the majority of the weak players is playing. During the day, there is a stable game at medium and micro limits, but there are fewer tables open.
Interestingly, it often happens that there are more NL25 and NL100 tables open than lower limit tables. The fact is that American players prefer to play these limits and often they are not interested in playing at lower stakes.

Poker King is one of the few poker rooms where you can play Full Ring tables in 2023.

Rake and rakeback

The commission is charged from each pot and depends on the number of people who participated in it.
In cash games, the rake is fixed at 5% of the pot. Commission in tournaments - 10%, in spins - 6%.
PokerKing is great for grinders. With the help of the loyalty program you can receive up to 65% rakeback, it is paid according to the Royal Club loyalty system. And this is without rake races and promotions that take place all the time. In addition, trackers and HUDs are allowed here. There are 6 VIP statuses: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Royal and King. The last two are given according to the results of activity for the year.
