PokerRoom Promotion Code - CPMAC
Bonus at PokerRoom
The bonus is easily released. Use the code "CPMAC" to get $200 and free tournament tickets. You can get bonus dollars released for playing Texas Holdem, other card games, and playing their casino games. Pokerroom does offer their players reload bonuses. Currently the PokerRoom promotion code is for U.S.A. poker players only. Typically you can get these under the current promotions located on their website. Reload bonuses are given for certain occasions so don't expect them every month. Check their news sections frequently.

The GreenRoom Overview
PokerRoom added a section called the GreenRoom. Players who are real money members at PokerRoom are considered GreenRoom members as well. As a member you can join their Pokah forum and trade player points for gifts in the shop. The player points can also be used for tournament tickets and other monetary bonuses.
We recommend staying away from trading in your player points for the $ bonuses. They require you to release new player points to get the bonus release which somewhat defeats the purpose. The player points are better used on tournament tickets or gifts in the shop in my opinion.
SilverRoom
The silver room is a new loyalty program at PokerRoom. To become a member of the SilverRoom you need 100 player points. (Not too hard). The player points need to be earned every month in order to keep your membership.
The membership lets you get additional tournament tickets for multi-tables. You also get to play in 9 $100 added tournaments per month. These are not freerolls but PokerRoom instead puts extra money into the pot. Points can also be used for cash at the end of the month.

Worst Attributes of PokerRoom
None
Aggressive or Tight Poker Room
The sit n go tournaments can get aggressive but the cash tables are very docile. An aggressive style is key at PokerRoom.
Bad Beat Factor
There is no one side to determine wether there are a lot of bad beats here or not. The huge volume of players evens out the bad beat factor. Some nights there are many chasers increasing the bad beat factor while some days there are not.
FreeRolls
The initial special tournament freerolls are great. They have a wide variety of initial sign up bonus free rolls which can lead to a big payout. The other free rolls are credited to your account by playing at real money cash tables and tournaments.
The free rolls you get credited with are not labeled free rolls but rather you get entered into satellite tournaments which lead to bigger payouts. They continually change the criteria for this.

Uniqueness at PokerRoom.com
This poker room has an odds calculator for when you are in an all in situation. This means that when you are all in your hand and other players hands odds of winning will show up on the screen. The odds change as more cards come out. This is only available if you are on a VPC.
Due to the nature of the no download software many graphics are minimized so this feature is only available on the downloaded version.
The poker team play is also unique to this room. They have a mode where you can join a team, or make your own team and play against other teams.
