After much research and trial and error, we have finally
put together a list of what we think are the Top 10
Online Poker Sites on the net. We
originally tried to keep this list to just the best 5
poker sites, but too many others kept coming to
mind. If you disagree with anything on this list,
send us an email because we would love to hear from you.
Below is the current top best poker sites for May 2009:

What Makes These Sites The Best |

 |
PokerStars
PokerStars Review
  |
Pokerstars as the number one site
goes without saying! They have the highest traffic volumes of
any poker sites, the biggest tournaments, and some big name pros
like Daniel Negreanu. Anyone that plays online poker has an
account at Poker Stars. This is where the World Championship of
Online Poker (WCOOP) is played with huge prizes and Championship
bracelets. There are Million Dollar Tournaments every week on
Poker Stars. If you don't have an account yet, it should not be
missed. |

Titan Poker
Titan Poker Review
(Special
Titan Bonus Offers)
 |
Titan Poker is the leading poker site
on the iPoker Network (the largest poker network). Since
they do not accept players from the US, Titan Works VERY HARD to
attract players from all over the world, with tons of massive
bonuses, plus amazing overlay tournaments. If you check
our Titan Bonus Offers page (link on the left) you will see some
of the things they offer, and those are just for signing up
through this site! |

Full Tilt Poker
Full Tilt Poker Review
   |
Full Tilt Poker is really fighting to
become number one in online poker! They have the FTOPS which has
a guaranteed prize pool of over $10 Million Dollars (with
qualifiers for only $2.25) plus a ton of other huge tournaments.
They have tons of promotions and great player retention. It is
also home to all the pro poker players (including Phil Ivey, Gus
Hansen, Howard Lederer and more) that you can actually see
playing at the tables. They don't quite have the traffic levels
of PokerStars, and the competition is a little tougher, but its
still definitely one of the best sites out there for US players. |
 |
Party Poker
Party Poker Review
 |
Party Poker is probably the most well
known online poker site. Like Poker Stars, they also have some
of the biggest tournaments online. They were the number one
poker site for the longest time but since the new laws in the
U.S. they have lost a lot of their market share. They are
starting to gain huge popularity in Europe though so look out
for a nice comeback from them soon. |
 |
PKR Poker
PKR Poker Review
 |
PKR is an all 3D site that is one of
the fastest growing sites out there. Known for their
outstanding support, and loose players, PKR is a great
alternative to many poker sites that are all the same.
PKR's pace is a little slower, but this creates a more lifelike
poker experience. Cash games are very easy and the
tournaments are even easier. A lot of money can be made on
this site for a decent poker player. |

 |
Aced Poker
Aced Poker Review
 |
Aced Poker is a one of the newest
sites to launch on the Merge Gaming network. The site uses
state of the art poker software which includes some really cool
features like "Run-it-twice", "Rabbit", "Show one card" and many
more. The site is clearly designed by poker players with
their needs in mind. Combine this with 30% rakeback and a
100% up to $1000 bonus that can be used twice, and you will know
why Aced.com is one of our favorites. |
 |
VC Poker
VC Poker Review
 |
Part of the iPoker Network (the 3rd
largest poker network), VC is growing at a record speed.
With their FREE $35 promotion you get to test drive the site for
free and see how loose the competition is. Also, the
software is relatively decent and their are some great network
guaranteed tournaments. |

 |
Bodog Poker
Bodog Poker Review
 |
If you haven't heard of their poker
site, you have probably heard of Bodog Fight, the Bodog
Sportsbook, or maybe even Bodog music which has groups like the
Wu Tang Clan and many more. Bodog Poker is very image
oriented and tries to be the "cool" place to play, which has
become a favourite with American poker players. They have
great tournaments, they sponsor some of the greatest players,
and they have a really good player loyalty program. |
 |
Betfair Poker
Betfair Poker Review
 |
Sponsor of the WSOPE (European World
Series of Poker), Betfair is doing their best to become one of
the leading European poker sites. Right now they have a
promotion where you can win $1 Million without spending a dim!
They have also started to attract many big name and high stakes
players to their site, and have a very unique poker client.
Tons of great tournaments and offline qualifiers make this one
of our favorite sites. |
 |
GNUF Poker
GNUF Poker Review
 |
Emerging out of Scandinavia, GNUF is
known for some of their wacky promotions like rolling a big die
down a mountain. Their poker site has tons of cool
promotions to qualify for live events and more, plus many
guaranteed tournaments. Also, if you win 5 consecutive sit
n go tournaments, you could score up to 25,000 USD! |
 |
Sportsbook Poker
Sportsbook Poker Review
 |
Sportsbook.com decided to launch a
poker room that accepts US Poker Players. Since their main
business is the Sportsbook, it brings a ton of big gamblers to
the poker tables. Most of them aren't very good, so you
have a ton of soft competition. The poker client runs on
the cake network, which is one of the newest poker clients.
It has a ton of new features and a cool look combined with a
loyalty program that goes unrivaled. |
