Action poker offers just that, action. With its motto of “Get Some” you know you found a site that will challenge you to perform to your utmost level. Action poker is owned and operated by Ecom Enterprises which is a fully-owned subsidiary of Playsafe Holding AS, which tells you this is a company that knows its stuff.

Action Poker is under the regulation of the Kahnawake Gaming Commission and is based in Norway (OTC), thus making it a very informed international poker organization. Action Poker began its business in 1999 with software licensed from the Action Poker Network (APN). This is a company that is established and secure enough to win the patronage of the poker community by going to all ends to improve the players online experience.

The software will only run on a PC platform with a Microsoft Windows environment of 98 or later and downloads in a blink. Don’t look for the software anywhere else as it is exclusive to the Action Poker site. When you log in, you will be instantly notified of the latest bonus which is a fun feature. MAC users are at a disadvantage as they cannot play on Action Poker.

The top bar of the interface includes an update tool under the options feature where you can check to see if you are running the latest version of the software. The software is based on buttons and drop downs making navigation of the site quite simple and intuitive. You will find a news ticker and flashing ads going on to keep users up to date of the latest poker events and news. There is a button that will link the user to the nitty gritty of all of the game rules under the help function. The button also puts casino and blackjack games right in front of the player making this a very user-friendly application.

You will encounter 300 tables and 3,000 players on the site at all times at Action Poker. Many players are pleasantly surprised to find more games than the usual no limit, fixed limit and pot limit holdem, Omaha, and seven card stud. There are more esoteric games such as Guts poker, Monte Carlo Guts and Survivor Guts which are games to test the mettle of the most expert player. Then there is Pan which is played in California and is a rummy-based true gamblers delight.

The wagers start at $.01/02 and go upwards to $50/100 covering every player’s wallet and skill level. Tournament play is not a big feature at Action Poker but the games that do exist include freerolls and fine formats to make up for their sparse appearances. While there are only a few tournaments, buy in begins at one thin dime and can lead to big rewards and one could go for the World Series packages if a buy-in of $1,400 doesn’t weaken them. There are certainly ample opportunities among the variety of games on the site to earn some great bonus money and prizes.

The Winter Games in Vancouver are a hallmark of the site and include tickets to the 2010 Men’s Hockey Gold Final in Vancouver. Bonuses are largely tournament based but Action Poker gives guarantees to attract more players and keep them satisfied. One of the neatest tournaments is called the Stan and Frieda Tournament and is a bounty tournament played on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. The attraction here is that players earn an extra 30 bucks if they can put Stan and Frieda under. Action Poker has a satellite to the World Series of Poker and you can be assured with that the site intends to be around for a long time.

With its well established history comes security and Action Poker with its ties to the International Gaming Council (IGC) and the random number generator tester ITECH Labs, Australia, players should feel secure and valued for many years ahead. Active Poker makes no secret of its contacts to gambling help facilities like GamCare, Gamblers Anonymous and The National Council on Problem Gambling, another way of letting its customers knows it cares about them and wishes them much success.

Help is via email which is up and running 24/7 so the company can be contacted any time for any questions that the players may have and all will be answered promptly and to the player’s satisfaction. The support site is extremely secure so a player need never feel their privacy is compromised and can focus on enjoying themselves at the site.

As the motto says “getting some” is what you will get at Action Poker. So go get some, money that is.
