Caribbean Sun Poker Full Review
Game Variety, Limits, and Traffic: C
Sun Poker is part of one of the larger networks, Cryptologic, which
offers a total of 4 games: Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, and 7 Card Stud.
Microstakes are not included. Limits range from $.15/$.25 to $5/10 for
NLHE and $150/$300 for LHE. Traffic on Caribbean Sun is pretty heavy,
having about 7500 ring game players and 2500 tournament players at peak
hours.
Software: C-
The table image at Sun Poker is very clean and attractive. There are
notetaking and chat abilities as well as an option to hide your city of
origin. However, the software is somewhat slow and resource intensive.
On older machines it may be difficult to run other applications while
playing at Caribbean Sun Poker. Another drawback is the cashier is not
accessible without exiting from all tables. The server is not the most
stable, but the novice players help make up for some of the software
shortcomings.
Softness of Games: B
Caribbean Sun Poker is no exception to large room trend. There are many
players who continually dump chips into the site. However, at Sun Poker,
I have also come across many players who are quick to snap up the money.
Smart players can easily turn this site into a real cash cow, but beware of
the sharks that swim.
Rakeback: B+
The strongest point for Caribbean Sun Poker is that bonuses are not deducted from the rakeback.
Because the bonus is so quick to clear, players will actually end up earning
greater than 100% rakeback here while clearing bonus. Caribbean Sun Poker
offers a very decent 40-50% rakeback to start. It also adheres to a sliding scale,
in which you earn a higher percentage the more
you play. Although $2,500 rake a month seems like a lot, most casual $.5/1
players can easily achieve the upgrade in pay scale. The entire rakeback
system is automated into the system and players can cash out their bonus at
any time.
Promotions: A
The deposit bonus is incredible. It is relatively easy to clear for a
bonus of this size. Sun Poker also offers a bad beat jackpot and a point
system in which players can register for various freerolls, including one
for the World Series of Poker.
Deposits/Withdrawals: B+
Caribbean Sun Poker has many deposit options: VISA, MasterCard,
NETeller, Citadel, ECP, Firepay, Money Orders, Bank Wire Transfers,
Checks. Cashouts are payed out to Firepay, NETeller, Citadel, Check and
ECP. The average NETeller cashout time is about 2-3 days.
Support: B
24/7 phone and fax support is offered as well as an email system. The
average support response via email is about 90 minutes.
