The Skinny: Paradise
Poker is a very popular poker room
that has been around for about 4 years
offering top notch poker play, support,
and service.
Paradise Poker is a very good online poker
site and is a great place for tournaments
as well as cash games across all levels.
They have very good player traffic, with
between 12,000 and 14,000 players during
most popular times.
Paradise Online Poker is now at SportingBet,
and they no longer accept USA poker
players. We recommend FullTiltPoker.com
or Poker Stars.com if you are from the
USA.
The Free Million Dollar
Poker Tournament - No Longer

probably seen the advertisements for

tournaments at Paradise Poker.net right?

Here is how the Free Million Dollar
Poker Tournament works.
Every day on Paradise Poker they run
three special tournaments, called the
"Free Million Dollar Qualifiers".
These are free
daily qualifiers, you get 1 (and
only 1) free seat in one of these daily
tournaments.
If you finish in the top 10 in one of
your daily qualifiers, you win a seat
into the Million Dollar Poker Tournament.
If you win that tournament, you take
home 1 million dollars. The next million
dollar tournament is scheduled
for July 22nd 2006 - everyone gets 1
free seat!
New players and old players get 1 free
seat. Play money accounts or real money
accounts, 1 free seat. It's awesome!
I played in the last million dollar
freeroll (this one is the third one
they have done). Here is my trip
report from the last free million
dollar poker tournament I played, and
cashed in by the way. This tournament
took place back on December 3rd of 05.
I made the money but player 'greendolphin'
took home a million dollars.
I knew that dolphins were intelligent
but to be able to first even play poker
and second to win a million bucks...
I give recognition where recognition
is due, at least our acquatic mamallian
brethren didn't try to cheat paradise
poker in the first million dollar freeroll.
I didn't even know that dolphins could
play poker.
Yes, you really do get one free shot
to play in the Million Dollar Free Roll
Just like TV says. You
get a free shot in a daily qualifier.
One - You do not have to deposit a penny.
Everyone gets a seat in one of the three
daily qualifying tournaments. If you
finish in the top 10 spots, you've just
earned your seat in the Million Dollar
Freeroll.
The next million dollar freeroll takes
place on July 22nd, 2006. Click
here to play now.
What if you don't finish in the top
10 of the free daily qualifiers? Well,
don't worry, you can still get a seat
in the Million Dollar Guaranteed Poker
Tournament at Paradise Poker. What you
have to do is make a deposit and start
earning points at Paradise Poker. To
earn points at paradise poker, you have
to play in raked hands, so that means
that you have to get some real moolah
in your account and play real poker,
or win a freeroll or somehow get a real
bankroll started and playing over at
Paradise Poker. That is what they don't
tell you on the TV commercial touting
ParadisePoker.net. But - that's advertising
for you, sell the sizzle.
The good news - Paradise Poker is such
a good poker room to play at that if
you are going to play poker online then
"Dise" (as it is known on
the street) is a great place to play.
Earn enough points, get another seat
into a free daily qualifier tournament.
The only way to get a seat in these
daily tournaments is by earning enough
points, or being a brand new player
that hasn't already played in the million
dollar freeroll.
Now just finish in the top 10 and get
a seat in the million dollar poker tournament
scheduled on July 22nd, 2006! If you

Paradise Poker Deposit Bonus
Kicks Ass! - Ok, "kick
ass" might be a bit excessive but
it goes with the theme of our site.
You get 25% added to your bonus up to
$100. This is a solid bonus for a site
with the quality and reputation of Paradise
Poker and Paradise Poker.net.
I concede that "Kick Ass Bonus"
is a bit over the top. How about Paradise
Poker has a "Really Good Deposit
Bonus". How's that?
Deposit $500 to maximize your bonus.
($100 bonus bucks in your account)
Excellent multi table poker
tournaments.
Paradise is home of some of the big
weekly poker tournaments with guarantees
of $40k and $100k every week. These
tourneys have good structure and pace
of play and there is great value in
their big events. Most players would
probably rank them only slighly behind
Poker
Stars.net as the best site for online
poker tournaments.
Excellent WSOP satellites.
Last year Paradise sent around 700 players
to the WSOP. There are WSOP qualifying
tournaments running now with an excellent
series of Super
Satellite WSOP Tournaments every
Saturday at 4pm.
Paradise Masters Event
One of the biggest and most popular
poker tournament series is The Paradise
Masters Event. It's an Online Championship
Tournament where the final 10 players
meet in a secret
Tropical Paradise and
play live for a $1.5 Million Guaranteed
Prize Pool. It really is Poker in Paradise.
This is a huge multi-table tourney and
always draws a ton of interest from
the online poker community.
Excellent Traffic and plenty
of table selection.
There are plenty of tables to choose
between from .50/1 up through 5/10.
They've got great higher stakes limit
traffic as well, with 20/40 tables as
well as 40/80. The high stakes No Limit
Ring Traffic was a little sparse, but
I don't play that. I'd recommend taking
a look at Bodog Poker for live No Limit
Traffic.
There is also plenty of sit-n-go traffic,
as a matter of fact there is good traffic
all the way around. I really like the
fact that there is plenty of low and
medium limit poker traffic. Plenty of
table selection and a lot of action.
Players were slightly below average,
at best.
For you Multi-Table Addicts,
it is very easy to play 2 or more tables
at once.
The is software is so clean and easy
to use and the pace of play is reasonable.
Not super fast like bodog poker, but
the game moves along briskly but you
do not feel rushed. You have plenty
of time to make your decisions on each
table, so when you get involved with
a number hands at the same time you
don't feel rushed. The software is laid
out in a similar fashion to Party Poker.
You can order drinks and smokes, if
that's your thing.
You'll like Paradise Poker if you are
looking for a medium+ sized Poker Room
that has clean, easy to use software,
and plenty of bad competition. The support
and service is great, the software is
stable and cashouts are easy and timely.
All in all, Paradise Poker.net is one
of our favorite poker rooms,
earning at top KAP ranking. We highly
recommend playing poker there and we
will see you at the tables.
