Rakeback: VIP Signup bonus: - Monthly bonus: - Software: Prima poker

 

Purple Lounge is the No. 1 choice for hardcore poker players for more reasons than one. First of all, there’s the first deposit bonus: you get $3 free and a 100% match up to a max of $1000. After you’ll have played your first 1000 raked hands you’ll receive $50 of your bonus into your Purple Lounge Poker account. After that, whenever you complete a further 500 raked hands you get $25 more of your deposit till you reach the 100% match of your first deposit.

The room features a bunch of attractive promos as well (check their promos section for these)
The Prima Poker software looks lifeless and flat, but works well, and that’s what really matters. The lobby looks good though, and the mini view tables will allow you to play 5 tables at once (essential when you’re trying to redeem as much bonus as you can in the shortest time)

The fish factor gets the thumbs-up, though easier sites have been tested by yours truly.
Action-wise the room is a nightmare. Most of the tables are full, and people - as usual - seem to completely ignore empty tables. Even though there are sometimes 30 players queued up at a full table no one bothers to populate an empty table.

At Purple Lounge you’ll receive your rakeback in the shape of VIP Points. You’ll get them in your account during the first week of every month and you’ll be able to exchange them for cash. You’ll also be able to use these points as buyin for tournaments or exchange them for gifts.

There are different levels you can achieve for these VIP points. Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Depending on which category you fall into (which in turn depends on the amount of raked hands you play) you’ll receive a certain number of VIP points.
