Seeing tremendous growth since the site was first opened, Poker Heaven is an EU-based online poker room owned by Boss Media, and situated on the highly trafficked International Poker Network. Though Poker Heaven is not presently accepting players from the US, the online poker site is thriving, with a largely European player base.

A Mac, Windows and Linux compatible flash poker client accessible directly from the website, and Windows users have the option of downloading the Poker Heaven software directly to the computer. The innovative design and functionality make finding and participating in online poker cash games, sit and gos, and multi-table tournaments a breeze. The 200% first deposit bonus and tiered loyalty program at Poker Heaven give players more than sufficient incentive to get started, and keep coming back.

Offering a 200% first time deposit bonus, Poker Heaven will issue up to $1.000 in pending bonus cash. In order to release the Poker Heaven bonus, the player must earn 30 Frequent Player Points for each €1 of the bonus. For every 150 Frequent Player Points the player accumulates, €5 of the bonus will be transferred into the player's real money account. Players have 30 days to clear the entire bonus before the remaining Poker Heaven bonus expires.

The VIP Loyalty Program at Poker Heaven rewards players with bonuses, gifts and freerolls based on the number of FPPs the player earns in the course of one calendar month. Players who earn at least 500 FPPs will be promoted to Bronze level on the first day of the following month, and will gain access to the VIP loyalty store and the €500 monthly freeroll. If a player earns 2000 FPPs, they will attain Silver level, and receive the same perks as the previous level, as well as a €100 monthly cash bonus and a seat in the €1,000 monthly freeroll. Gold level members of Poker Heaven receive a 5% discount at the VIP loyalty store, €200 cash bonus, tickets to the €500, €1,000, and €2,000 freerolls, and VIP support via MSN. At the platinum level (5,000 FPPs), the benefits improve with a 10% store discount and an increased cash bonus. At the Elite level of 10,000 FPPs in one calendar month, players receive access to all of the freerolls, and Poker Heaven offers a personal VIP deal for the loyalty store and the cash bonus.

Providing a wide array of online poker promotions to choose from, Poker Heaven runs a steady schedule of both seasonal and recurring events. Gadget Giveaways, Fantasy Football Leagues, Facebook Freerolls, and multi-table leaderboard contests are just a few of the incentives available at Poker Heaven.

€10,000 are up for grabs in the Poker Heaven Jackpot Sit and Go, where winning six of the €10+€2 jackpot sit and gos in a row will result in scoring the sit and go jackpot of €10,000, in addition to the €50 first place prize for each win. The Bad Beat Jackpot rewards a portion of the current bad beat prize to players who lose with a hand of four-of-a-kind in tens or better (constructed with both hole cards at a table of four or more players) at any one of the designated bad beat cash game tables. Also be on the lookout for Head Hunter guaranteed bounty tournaments, as well as qualifiers and freerolls.

The software utilized by Poker Heaven was developed by Boss Media, an e-gaming software company based in Sweden. The Poker Heaven platform is stable and secure, with excellent playability, features and graphics. The lobby provides intuitive, tabbed navigation of all of the Poker Heaven cash games and tournaments, as well as a Quick Play setting and a searchable Find Player function.

Allowing up to five tables to be in play simultaneously, players can re-size tables and switch to another table using the handy table index at the top of each window. Another nifty feature at Poker Heaven is the disabled chat when a player goes all-in, preventing players and observers from commenting or sharing information whilst an player has their entire stack on the line.

While the Poker Heaven download is only available for a Windows PC, the instant-play flash poker client at Poker Heaven is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems with Adobe Flash Player installed. The flash version is somewhat limited, however, players can join any of the Texas Hold'em cash games, sit and gos, and multi-table tournaments.

Located on the popular International Poker Network (IPN), Poker Heaven shares a large player base with other IPN online poker partners. With thousands of players online at any given time, most residing in the EU, there is always a decent selection of cash games and sit and gos available.

The opposition at Poker Heaven is notoriously soft, with extremely loose players swarming the lower stakes of Texas Hold'em and Omaha cash games. Though Poker Heaven furnishes a number of rarer online poker games, the Stud and Draw games receive considerably less traffic than the more prominent Hold'em forms, however, one can usually find some level of activity at Poker Heaven's 5 Card Draw and 7 Card Stud cash tables.

Taking pride in offering superior customer service, the support staff at Poker Heaven provides speedy results, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Players can contact a customer support representative via Poker Heaven's live chat option, or by email. Additionally, Poker Heaven furnishes a searchable FAQ, as well as a Getting Started Guide that walks players through the entire download and registration process.
