The Cake Poker software scores highly as it is both easy to use and functional.

The software is easy to navigate around and seems to run in a stable state the majority of the time meaning you can just get on with playing poker, rather than worrying about software issues.

There are many additional features in the software which although are expected of any good poker software now, the Cake Poker software provides these functions well.

Functions such as hand histories, player notes and four color decks are available amongst others. You also have access to a full Casino and Sportsbook service from within the software.

The Cake Poker network is one of the fastest growing poker networks online.

It forms part of the Cake Poker Network, which means that Cake Poker pools it's traffic with the other sites on the Cake Poker Network, of which Cake Poker is the largest.

Also with it being one of the few networks which accept US players, player traffic is maintained at a reasonable level at all times.

During Peak times you can expect to find approximately 2,000 ring game players and 2,000 tournament players.

Player Toughness Click here to download Cake Poker

Rating 9.5 9.5

The player toughness at Cake Poker is excellent and you will find that the player skill level is often at a reduced level and you can find some very soft games.

We're not entirely sure of the reason for this but we suspect it is due to the fact that it is one of the few rooms that still accepts US players and that a lot of the softer competition from the US plays at Cake Poker.

This may also explain why a lot of the traffic is directed towards the low to mid stake tables with the more inexperienced players.

Rating 8.5 8.5

Cake Poker offers a good variety of games with both Texas Holdem and Omaha well supported by the traffic.

The traffic is more concentrated on the Texas Holdem low to mid stake tables but there are other stake levels and games available at peak times which means you should always be able to find a game of your choice at Cake Poker.

Rating 9.5 9.5

Cake Poker offers the following forms of deposit:

Visa, Mastercard, Neteller, Epassport, and Moneybookers.

Note that for US based players there are some restrictions on the deposit methods you can use mainly due to restrictions that have been put in place by the external companies themselves. This means that US players cannot use Neteller to deposit at Cake.

Withdrawals options are available for all of the above deposit methods.

Rating 8.0 8.0

The Rake on Cake Poker is in line with industry norms and although it varies slightly between stake levels it is approximately 5% of the pot up to a maximum of $3 per hand.

Cake also operates a "no flop no drop" policy which means that rake is only collected on hands where the flop is dealt - all other hands are rake free.
