Providing online poker access to residents of the US, and all over the world, Cake Poker is the flagship online poker room of the Cake Poker Network. With the shared player traffic of a growing number of partnered online poker sites, Cake Poker offers a large variety of online poker tournaments with large, guaranteed cash prizes. Players can also compete against some of the biggest names in poker, such as Doyle Brunson, Todd Brunson, Mike Caro, Ilari Sahamies, and Phil Laak.

One of the most enticing features at Cake Poker is the Gold Rewards system, offering loyal players cash rewards and valuable Gold Chips for their patronage. The Gold Cards promotion furnishes a number of ways for players to earn extra cash by collecting Cake Poker's Gold Cards in select, real money cash games. Gold Chips accumulate into Gold Stacks, resulting in cash rewards that increase through 50 levels.

Rapid customer support responses and a wide array of banking options make it easy for even first time online poker players to get started. The high stakes cash games tend to be rather sparse, however the low and mid limit games generate enough interest to maintain active tables in Texas Hold'em and Omaha. The tournament schedule offers players numerous opportunities to cash in with guaranteed prize pools, a multitude of freerolls, and satellites to larger live and online poker events.

First-time depositors at Cake Poker automatically receive a 110% bonus of up to $600. The pending bonus is released into the player's real money account in $5 increments as the required number of Frequent Player Points are obtained in real money online poker cash games and tournaments. Players will have 90 days from the time they make their first deposit to clear the pending Cake Poker bonus before the bonus expires.

The Cake Poker Gold Stacks Reward program pays players cash in return for their continued play at Cake Poker's online poker tables. As players earn Frequent Player Points, they also gain Gold Chips. With the Gold Chips players accumulate, Gold Stacks are made. The more stacks a player forms, the greater the cash rewards. Players also earn larger cash rewards for completing a Gold Stack quickly, though there is no time limit on the minimum reward for completing a Gold Stack.

Running a constant stream of ongoing and limited time promotions, Cake Poker patrons have privileged access to such great offers as satellites to live poker events with prize packages that include cash for travel expenses and accommodations. Exclusive freerolls are available to players following Cake Poker on Twitter and Facebook fans of Cake Poker. There is also a 100% match bonus for players who refer their friends to Cake Poker.

Regular tournament promotions include $200K Sundays, Gold Chip Tournaments, Pro Tables, and Freeroll into Millions. On the last Sunday of every month, Cake Poker runs a $200,000 guaranteed online poker tournament with a $268 or 1075 Gold Chips direct buy-in, with the option to satellite in for $3 or 3 Gold Chips, or compete in the Freeroll into Millions for a seat to the $200K online poker event. Cake Poker also hosts a nightly Pro Cash Game Monday through Friday at 7pm, with regular professional poker players such as Doyle Brunson, Mike Caro, Phil Laak, Todd Brunson, Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies, Chris Moorman, and many more competing at $5/$10 or $10/$20 NL Hold'em, where Cake patrons are invited to join or rail the action.

The Cake Poker software provides online poker players with a stable gaming environment with a pleasant graphical interface. Players can customize a number of options, such as the quality of graphics, the avatar that represents them at the table, or the classic table view without avatars. Auto-muck losing hands, auto-post blinds/antes, and automatic re-buys may be enabled, and the player notes provide color-coding by playing style to be applied to opponents for instant recognition as well as space to place custom text comments.

One of the greatest perks of the Cake Poker software is the lobby navigation, that allows players to quickly find the type of game they seek with just a couple of clicks. Players may choose from Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, or 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo; each available in limit, pot limit, and no limit structures.

The largest bulk of Cake Poker's cash game traffic tends to flock to the No Limit Texas Hold'em tables, with Limit Texas Hold'em following close behind. Cake Poker's greatest draw is the tournament schedule, attracting more than half of Cake Poker's online poker traffic to the sit and gos, multi-table tournaments, freerolls, satellites, and live event qualifiers.

The level of competition can vary greatly, with online poker traffic coming in through any one of the Cake Poker Network's partnered skins. Players can find soft, loose games in the micro stakes, trickling over into the low stakes. However, there are also plenty of tight, experienced players frequenting the stakes at every level of Texas Hold'em and Omaha, while awaiting new opposition to combat in the high stakes arenas.

Cake Poker provides players with three customer support email addresses in order to offer the most knowledgeable and direct support for security inquires, cashier help, and general questions. Customer support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with the goal of having all issues responded to within 20 minutes.
