Poker Host | Pokerhost.com

With literally dozens of poker rooms on the Microgaming network, we've chosen to offer PokerHost.com mainly for the following 3 reasons. First, we can offer you a huge bonus of 100% up to $2,000. Second, Poker Host allows U.S. players. The other reason we offer Poker Host is probably the most important one - we like playing here. In over 18 months of playing at Poker Host, we have yet to have a single issue. Customer service has been great, we've had no money issues, and the action is always juicy. The Microgaming software works very well, and we love the lobby. Do they have room for improvement? Yes they do, but who doesn't? We would like to see them get their loyalty program setup once and for all. We'd also like them to make hand history reports available at the tables, instead of having to go to the lobby to request a report. That's about it as far as complaints go. They have a lot of players and game choices. Cash games are busy, and they have a nice tournament selection as well. We love the loose action, with player / flop percentages in the 40 - 65% range for almost any cash game on the site! Smart, experienced players can make a bundle here. If you're bonus hunting, be sure to check out the bonus requirements listed below before signing up. There are some important pieces of information that you need to know about the bonus process before signing up. Overall, we like Poker Host a lot. We hope they continue to improve it because it's a very good site with the potential to be great. Click here for more detailed information about Poker Host.

The Poker Host bonus is awesome, but you have to contact support@pokerhost.com after depositing, and before playing. If you start playing before you've contacted support to tell them how much bonus you're going after, the hands you've played will not count towards your bonus - so do it first thing after making your initial deposit. You have to do this because they have to manually set this up in your account.

There are 2 ways to clear the Poker Host bonus. For micro stakes and tournament players, rake 2 x's your bonus amount. So, if you're going after a $200 bonus, you must rake $400 (50% return!). The second way you can clear this bonus is to play 10 qualifying hands per $1 in bonus. Qualifying raked hands must be played at minimum $.25/.50 pot limit/no limit or $1/2 fixed limit tables. The pot must be at least $5, and you must have contributed to the pot (blinds count as contributing). A $500 bonus requires 5,000 qualifying raked hands. $2,000 requires 20,000 qualifying raked hands. At short handed tables, this is about 200 table hours between now and July 31, 2008. The Poker Host bonus is paid in one lump sum. Call 1-866-765-3711 for up to date information on your qualified hands played.
