 Everest
Poker is the cardroom of the Grand Virtual Gaming Alliance casino group, and licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.
The first multi-national, multi-lingual online poker card room, the software is translated into numerous languages including
English, Swedish, Portuguese, German, Danish, Dutch, Italian, French, Spanish, Norwegian, Japanese and Traditional Chinese.
The card room's welcome bonus offers new players a $100 bonus upon registration, with no minimum deposit required.
They also have a Refer-A-Friend bonus where for every referred friend who simply registers, the original player receives
$50 bonus. There are no deposit or play requirements on the friend for the original player to receive the bonus.
EverestPoker.com is novice-friendly, with an interactive tutorial and training room, as well as allowing anonymous play
on play money games, so you can play for free without giving any personal information. Upon registration, players can
decide what personal information to reveal in their profile, such as age, gender, country of origin and language.
Players can also choose their avatar, or "character," that appears at the table, and change it at any time.
Ring games (including six player maximum games), single table and multitable tournaments are available. Besides normal
tournaments, which include two daily guaranteed $500 events, they have bonus freerolls and turbo tournaments -- speedy
events designed for European and Asian lunchtimes. They also offer satellites to major real-world tournaments like
the European Poker Tour, World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker.
The software allows international players to bypass language differences by communicating via
keyboard "F" keys. For example, F1 = Nice hand, F2=Thank you, F4=Good bet, etc. When players use
"F" keys to chat, the phrases automatically display in each player's native language.
Features include extensive game history for both Real Money and Free Play, hand statistics in the game, detailed results summary,
best hand display (mouse over cards to see the best hand you have so far), the table wizard and seat wizard in the lobby.
To fund an account, you can use credit cards, EcoCard, Neteller, Moneybookers, and PaySafe Card. New players normally
get a $100 welcome bonus that will convert at the rate of 1 unit for every 100 units you bet in qualified wagers.
The tournament lobby contains such features as the percentage of players seeing the flop, hands played per hour, and average pot.
You can play up to four tables at once. Your account balance is always visible on the screen. You can also check your statistics
such as percentages of the times that you have played, checked, check-raised, called, bet, raised, re-raised, folded and won
pre-flop, on the flop, turn or river.
The site has a helpful "Rules and Games" section for beginner players which explains the rules, lists hand rankings,
a comprehensive list of tournament rules for both sit and gos and multi-table tournaments, and list blind structures of their
tournaments. The "How to Play" section offers a tutorial, assistance on how to run the training room, advice on how
to choose a table, and different tips and tricks. They also have a glossary of terms.
Seats are given away seats to live tournaments that will be televised such as the European Poker Tour and the World Poker Tour.
You can play in the multi-table satellite directly, or can win your way in by playing a SnG or a multi-table qualifier.
The site also hosts a "Chip and a Chair" tournament where you can buy-in for $1 with no entry fee. They have plenty
of low buy-in SnGs starting at $.04 and going up to $100. Their multi-table tournaments have buy-ins ranging from $1 to $20.
Everest Poker spreads Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi, Omaha HiLo, and Seven Card Stud. Limits start out at $.02/$.04.
