Hi all, I want to play online poker again.
A couple of questions:
1) Is this site still active/is it still worth tracking your account here
2)I want to play on an active room with good bonus program. But it is hard to compare the different rooms for me and figuering out which are the best.
I narrowed down my search to PokerStars, 888Poker and Unibet.
I can create a tracked account for PokerStars or Unibet.
I would like to make use of the first deposit bonus which I can use on all 3 platforms.
So my question is: Which software should I use? Or should I try to play on all 3 (clearning all deposit bonuses and then choosing 1 room, depending on which I liked the most?)
Thank you guys and glad to be back :f_love:

Hi buergerkneifer,

Welcome back!

Yea this site is still active :) However, I have been here just since 2013 and I started with the Finnish community. I have been a member of the EN community for about 4 years now I guess. So I don't really know what kind of action you did have back when you joined.
I think it is still definitely worth it to get a tracked account. We have lots of good new coaching videos coming out quite frequently.

Choosing the poker room is a bit difficult. I feel like PokerStars is one of the best rooms overall, although their new loyalty system is not very good. The rakebacks got a lot lower compared to what they were some years ago.
888 is okay too, but I didn't like their loyalty system much either Their software used to look quite dated, now I know they have changed how it looks a bit. And I know that because someone just complained here at the forum that their new look isn't nice. Ofc that was just one opinion, so you should check it out and see if you like it yourself.
If you want to get good rakeback and bonuses, I think iPoker skins, microgaming skins and Unibet could be a decent option. But then you should keep in mind that the traffic at off-peak hours could be quite bad and some rooms have restrictions on HUD usage.

I have been looking for a perfect poker room for a long time but I have learned that you always have to make some compromises. I'm currently playing on Stars and BetFair. I suggest you pick one of the rooms you mentioned, clear the bonuses and see if you like the room, and if you don't you can pick the next one :)
