Launched in 1999, Finland-based Paf Poker offers its online poker services in two separate networks—the Spade Network for US players and the Diamond Network for players from the rest of the world. The online poker service is available in several languages and currencies, attracts more than 40,000 online poker enthusiasts during peak hours, and wants its customers to have the best possible online poker experience. Paf Poker is also the home of some exciting live poker; and interested customers can view the live poker calendar at the website.

Software and Games

Spade Poker as well as Diamond Poker at Paf offers a wide range of exciting and popular poker variants such as Texas Hold’em, Seven Card Stud, and Five Card Draw. Recently, the site has also introduced Blackjack into its Spade Poker client.

While Spade Network is part of Ongame Network, Diamond Network is part of International Poker Network (IPN) powered by Boss Media. Since Spade Poker is meant for US players, it permits poker gaming only in dollars; and players can easily convert Euros into dollars by hitting the “Transfer Money” tab. Spade Poker players are also required to use the Spade Wallet. Diamond Poker players, on the contrary, do not need the Spade Wallet and can choose from a wide range of currencies, including Euros and dollars.

Welcome Bonus

Newly registered Diamond Poker players at Paf will get a warm welcome bonus of 200 percent up to €1000. Before claiming their bonus, players must register, download the software, and input the bonus code “Welcome1000” when they make their initial deposits. They must enter the bonus code not when funding their Paf.com accounts, but when transferring money from their Paf.com accounts to their Diamond Poker accounts.

New players who want the maximum bonus should make an initial deposit of €500. The site is also offering an exciting €1000 reload bonus for all its new Diamond Poker players from June to August.

Tournaments

The latest tournament at Paf Poker is the Tuesday Triathlon, which is a combination of three exciting tournaments; and other tournaments include the weekly $150,000 Guaranteed; Double or Nothing Sit ‘N’ Go; High Roller, a poker event with the site’s biggest buy-in so far held on Tuesdays at 20:30 CET; the Fastest Sit ‘N’ Go Ever; the $100,000 Re-buy Tournament in Spade Poker; the Dailies $100,000; €1000 New Player Freeroll in Diamond Poker; and many more including brand new tournaments such as Terminator, Head Hunter, and Bounty Hunter.

Besides the attractive first depositors’ bonus, the site offers exciting promotions, which include team poker, tournaments, weekly freerolls, bad beat jackpots to help losers win, and a special loyalty program for Spade Poker players.

Security

Security is a very important issue at Paf, owing to which the site employs advanced measures to eliminate players who cheat or do not follow the site’s simple rules. The site strongly advocates responsible gambling and advises players to play within their means, have lots of fun, understand all the risks involved in online gaming, and win big.
