Background
RedKings Poker, located in Cyprus, is a member of the Ongame Network. Although fairly new to the online poker scene, RedKings Poker has already made quite an impression with online poker players through its impressive first-deposit bonus offers and frequent tournaments and promotions.
Through the Ongame Network, RedKings Poker offers PC, Mac and Linux players the option of Java web-based play. No download is necessary (although some features are absent). New RedKings Poker Mobile uses state-of-the-art mobile software to deliver poker action through most 3G handheld devices.
Limits and Rake
The limits at RedKings Poker begin at $0.05/$0.10 at the no-limit Texas hold'em tables and steadily increase to a hefty $50/$100. Pot-limit Texas hold'em starts at $0.10/$0.10 and maxes out at $50/$50.
The limit Texas hold'em tables start at $0.15/$0.30 and increase in steady units to a massive $500/$1,000. Omaha tables begin at a low $0.25/$0.50 through to $1/$2. The stud and draw tables have fewer options available, with limits favoring low-limit players.
The rake at RedKings Poker never exceeds $3. As is the case with many online poker rooms, the rake at RedKings Poker varies depending on the number of players involved in the pot, the pot size and limit level. Generally, pot-limit and no-limit tables can potentially rake a little more than limit tables, because limit tables can quickly reach their maximum rake.
Player Traffic
As a member of the Ongame Network, RedKings Poker regularly hosts in excess of 5,000 players during peak times. Players tend to congregate at the no-limit Texas hold'em tables; specifically the low- to mid-limits. On occasion, running games can be found at the higher limits. Action also reaches the Omaha, stud and draw tables across the low- to mid-limit tables. Generally at peak times, tables can be found to suit your game and bankroll.
Playability
Available in 17 languages, RedKings Poker offers a diverse and international online poker experience. The RedKings Poker lobby details all relevant information, and players can easily find their table and limit of choice.
The tables themselves are surrounded by static player avatars, and the animation is limited to speech bubbles (announcing player moves and decisions), card and chip movement. Play generally moves quickly and is only really slowed when a player stops to think. Thankfully, a clear timer alerts the player and the table, so the gameplay doesn't slow down too much.

RedKings Poker also offers a variety of software features, some of which include:
- RedKings Mobile — State-of-the-art 3G software allows you to access online poker action anywhere, anytime!

Customer Service
RedKings Poker offers one telephone number for all support queries. There are five email addresses, and each email is used for a specific query (promotions, deposits, etc.). An account manager address is also provided to provide customer service to players. Responses are generally quick, to the point and helpful.
