Review

Sun Poker sits comfortably on one of the world's largest poker networks - the iPoker Network - and therefore players enjoy reliable software, fantastic customer service, huge promotions and heavy player traffic. Sign up using the green 'Start Playing' button on PokerNews and you will receive a $500 new player bonus, plus a $200 monthly reload bonus.


 

Limits and Rake

Sun Poker has a game and limit level to suit all players. Games start with limits as low as .15/.25 and climb as high as 150/300 and can be played in either USD or Euro. With a scale as wide as this, you are sure to find a table that suits your bankroll. The house rake is calculated based on 5% of the pot rounded down to the nearest 25 units. So pot sizes of $5, $10, $15 and $20 will see a rake of 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 $/€/£. Sun Poker has just reduced the rake for shorthanded games, the rake on heads up play will now be capped at 1 $/€/£, if there are 3-4 players the rake will be capped at 2 $/€/£, and when there are five players or more rake will be capped at 3 $/€/£ (except 25/50NL which has a max rake of 5 $/€/£)
