Optimus Poker Review
Optimus Poker is a fairly recent entry into the online poker scene, having been released only in 2008. A part of the renowned Merge Gaming Network, the poker room aims to provide players from all over the world a rewarding poker experience that goes beyond what other poker rooms can provide.
During hours of extensive testing, we found that the software performed with nary a hiccup, and the game play was satisfyingly stable. Optimus Poker currently offers all the common variations of poker, plus a few interesting variations that are a bit off the beaten path. Among the poker variations on offer are Limit, No Limit, Pot Limit, Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud and many more. In addition, there are also a number of Scheduled Tournaments and Sit 'n' Go events held regularly.
The rewards don’t end there either, as the poker room also offers a Royal Flush bonus that can get you as much as 1000 times your winnings.
Optimus Poker aims to provide their players with efficient and helpful support by way of a 24-hour on-call staff that can handle customer concerns in English and Spanish. Unfortunately support is only available via email, which we found a bit surprising since many of the other poker sites offer telephone and even livechat support in additon to email. In any case, response time was sufficiently fast.
Banking Options Optimus Poker accepts deposits through Neteller, Moneybookers, Click2Pay, ClickandBuy, Visa Card, MasterCard, Wire Transfer, EcoCard and EntroPay, and many more. Players may cash out their winnings through Neteller, Moneybookers, ECO, PIC-Club and Click2Pay.
Software And Games
Playing Optimus Poker requires downloading a 12MB install file. Download was fast and easy on our test machine, and we were able to get things up and running in less than half an hour. Upon booting up the software, we were pleasantly surprised with the sheer elegance and crispiness of the interface. The most commonly used features were all within easy reach, and there was a simple yet efficient look about the whole package. The main window can also be set to full screen mode, offering more viewing flexibility.During hours of extensive testing, we found that the software performed with nary a hiccup, and the game play was satisfyingly stable.

Players
The action at Optimus Poker is usually pretty loose, so you have a high likelihood of walking away with some cash, even if your skills are decidedly average. Even the freeroll tournaments are usually pretty manageable, and the smaller tournaments offer even better sport. We did notice that the sit ‘n’ go’s tend to be packed fairly easily though. Buy-ins for the tournaments range from $50 to $10,000 freerolls.Bonuses And Rewards
All new players at Optimus Poker get a hefty 100% match bonus up to $500 with the first deposit. In addition, players will also be allowed entry into the $500 Freerolls for 14 days.The rewards don’t end there either, as the poker room also offers a Royal Flush bonus that can get you as much as 1000 times your winnings.
