pokerchamps.com is just a big joke.The deposit bonus,they are so proud about,is received in portions of $10/week,so if you make a $200 deposit have to wait 5 months for it.Right now is
31 Dec 7:30 AM(east) "the server is currently down for maintenance,please try again later"...I'm getting this message for 4 hours now.No chanse to log on your money account,nothing.The servers are DEAD.No support so ever.Don't bother to open an account there,I did it and I regret,they are only 100-120 regular players,and 1000 freerollers,few real money tables.Too mush trouble for nothing.Take care of yourselfs,and your money!
Happy New Year!

I found support to be very good when I have emailed previously. They are still new so there will always be a few minor problems at first and some down time.

I agree they need more players, more tables (Omaha) and to start the Sit N Go area.

I'm sure it'll happen, the rake back is a great feature and so worth sticking with the site IMO.

I opened an account there a month ago. I must say I was not happy with the action there but it has picked up and I am a winner there now. I dont worry too much about the bonus but I get around $120 a week so far and I play around 7-10 hrs per week.

Good to hear John.

The action has picked up, I think the rake back feature coupled with the bonus is pulling in new players all the time.

It's nice to get a payment every Friday that would normally go straight to the poker room.

Look you worthless bunch of losers, I have sent two e-mails to you, telling you I can not get in. It keeps stating Not Connected, Retrying, Connection Failed.

Can you worthless bunch fix it for me, or have you left town?

But the webpage is down and wont let me. I hope you guys get this problem fixed real soon. I enjoyed playing at this site but this problem is starting to irritate alot of your players. I would fix it or you are going to lose all of them. Sniveller

There is a DNS fault with Pokerstars' service provider which is currently being repaired.

Due to a DomainNameServer (DNS) error, some users had problems connecting to PokerChamps servers from various connections.
The problem has now been fixed.

Best regards,

Let me tell you a few more things about pokerchamps:
-you have to "earn" your deposit bonus,by playing alot--I have lost over $100 last week,and earned 47 cents in deposit bonus.
- cashout Hug

OLDBACK-$30(that means you cannot chas it,never
-cash out fee: $25 for a check
-rake back: "As an example, to reach 40,000 points you have to have participated in between 800 and 1300 hands with six to ten players seated and where the rake limit of US$ 3 is reached in each hand. It takes approximately one minute to finish a hand, so in other words, if you play an average of 2-3 hours a day during a week your direct payout from PokerChamps will be US$ 100 in one week!"
100 hands/hour where you play them to the end,and the pot riches over $100.I want to see that table!
If you wanna find out more,sign-up there.Better not!

Well I dont mind getting a $100 every week I dont get that elsewhere and I do play 2-3 hours per day.
I guess I just like the software i hate it when they are down but when I can play I enjoy it, anyhow I am drunk tonight

ThePokerGuy,

You have to earn your deposit bonuses at most, if not all poker rooms.

You can avoid cashout fees by using Neteller, up to $1000 per day I believe and it's credited straight away.

As for the rake back, I'd rather get some rake back than none at all. If you refer your friends to Pokerchamps your points increase faster.

It's a new site still so there is bound to be the odd problem but overall I find it a good place to play hold em.
