The rake at this site is pretty stock standard. The
site used to offer better value for the lower limit
games, but is now your standard 5 per cent capped at
$3 for medium limit games. For lower limit games a
max of $1 for $1/$2 games and 50 cents for $0.5/$1
games is taken out of the pot. However, this is only
taken if the pot reaches $20 and $5 respectively,
which is not a bad deal. For higher limit games
Empire Poker offers pretty good value with
significantly less than 5 per cent taken out of each
pot.
Needless to say, as part of the Party Poker network,
Empire Poker has a huge player base. Little waiting
is required for sit and go tournaments and there are
numberous cash games with plenty of action 24 hours
a day. In fact, the site is the largest poker room
full stop. I have seen 45000 players online
playing recently and the number is growing every
day. The daily average of real money players is
around 10 000. This is obviously due to the
sites marketing campaign that has been extensive.
The empirepoker Sunday tournament is currently the
best value online as they are adding prize money
every week.
Very easy site navigation and lots of information in
the lobbys, yet they manage to stay uncluttered.
There is plenty of action at Empire Poker at all
stake levels, making the playability here very good.
Novices and experts alike will feel right at home at
EmpirePoker.
Many deposit options are available, they include:
Visa; MasterCard; eChecks; FPS epassport; Global
Calling Card; NETeller; FirePay; Citadel; Wire
Transfer; Inter-Account Transfers.
Software
Running on the same platform as Party Poker, Empire
have a good steady base for their poker room. There
should be no problems with this ultra reliable
software in any department.
Extra Features
