PDC Poker is an emerging online poker room. The owners are determined to spend as much money as is required to compete with the big boys, consistently offering unique promotions and tournaments. They also use the highly touted Merge Gaming software, which is stacked with cool features.
PDC Poker rewards loyalty. Beside their avatar each player can have up to 3 stars beside their name of various colors. The number of stars indicates how much they play, and the color indicates the level the played at. For example, a player with 3 gold stars plays a lot and for high stakes.
The software at PDC Poker (Merge) is one of the most popular among core online players. The lobby areas look very realistic and the tables layout is uncluttered and looks good. You can type in a word like 'donkey', and an animated donkey will appear in a chat bubble above your name. There are other words that do this, but I'm not going to give them all away. A few of my favs are 'rain', 'laugh', and 'knockout'.
The most famous promo at PDC Poker is the Bad Beat jackpot, which is usually $200,000 or more. There are also many seasonal promotions and freerolls. PDC Poker claims to offer INSTANT payouts - normal withdrawals usually only take a few hours. Support response time is almost immediate and almost invariably spot on. Overall, PDC Poker is a must for any online poker player.
