Tournaments and Freerolls (7)

RedKings Poker hosts a lot of regular tournaments with buy-ins from $1 or $2 all the way up to a few hundred dollars. Tournaments are typically busy and fast, with plenty of good players. Play at any level is decent, and the major satellites and tournaments are downright hard at the later stages.

The biggest guaranteed tournaments are the $40,000, $50,000 and $75,000 events that run all week and the Sunday $100k Big Deal

RedKings Poker run a decent amount of freeroll tournaments, although most are relatively small. RedKings Poker does offer freeroll qualifiers, poker points freeroll tournaments and restricted freerolls where players have to meet certain conditions to enter.

Soft Competition (7)

There are some great games available on RedKings Poker but the easiest ones are generally always in the low-stakes cash games and smaller buy-in tournaments.

It’s worth noting the higher stakes on the Ongame network are frequented by top European players so sometimes it’s better to avoid those games.

That said, it’s possible to find $5/$10 No-Limit Hold’em tables with a viewed-flop percentage of 35-40%.

Support (7)

Support at RedKings Poker is fast, friendly and provides good quality answers with both e-mail and phone support. A small minus is the lack of in-depth information and the usability of the Web site.
