Best Of the Rest
This page is very much biased towards poker at the moment as that is the main expertise amongst our editors. As it stands it should really be named the 'Poker Page' as most online casinos and gaming sites are really not a great deal of fun compared to the real thing and the house wins far too quickly. However, the search continues and we are pleased to say that there are now sites available we feel able to recommend, that pass our test of being classed within the top 10% of all internet sites and that have maintained that standard over a period of time. Watch out in the near future for casino sites specialising in roulette, craps, blackjack, bacarrat and more.

Description |
bwin poker  |
Very smooth and professional, bwin poker offers everything you could want from an online poker site. There is a wide range of Sit & Go style tournaments, satellite qualification tournaments for the chance to enter big, live televised competitions including The World Series of Poker and The World Poker tour events. A wide selection of online tournaments are on offer, including the big bet favourites no limit texas hold 'em and pot limit omaha formats. All the tournament data you need for these tournies, so often sadly lacking on other poker sites, is available to you from the 'lobby', including blind structures and antes which are essential to see the 'speed' of a poker tournament before you pay your money!. There is also a Mac poker client available for download, just one more example of bwin covering all the bases for the committed online poker player. |
PokerInEurope.Com  |
The home of the pan-European poker magazine Poker Europa with all its articles archived online. Also, much, much more. Covers poker tournaments and card rooms all over Europe including Russia. Now provides its own online poker rooms, but we haven't yet checked these out. |
Poker Stars  |
A magnificent site catering for all levels and budgets and almost certainly the biggest poker site now on the internet. It spreads all sorts of cash games and tournaments, 'game chips for free playing' promotional freerolls and some really big six figure money can be won in some of the bigger tournaments. This is the site that spawned the 2003 and 2004 world series of poker champions. Chris Moneymaker won his $10,000 seat through a satellite at Pokerstars - one of 37 that year - and took home $2.5 MILLION for 1st place. Greg Raymor took the $5 MILLION first prize in 2004 after being one of 316 pokerstars satellite entrants. In 2008 no less than six players at the WSOP final table gained their entry to the competition via Poker Stars! The best thing about this site though, are the lengths gone to protect you from online cheats. Impressive audit documentation from two independent companies can be reviewed extensively. There will always be people colluding in cash games on any site, but if you have doubts you can ask for a series of hands to be examined for evidence, every hand played is recorded and archived. A highly professional client for play is provided and constantly reviewed and updated. Altogether highly recommended. |
Binion's Horseshoe  |
The online home of the world famous Las Vegas casino that hosts the World Series Of Poker every Spring. Hotel bookings and reservations for the world series can be made online and as the tournament progresses results are posted online. Unfortunately schedules for the next year are not put up very far in advance, though results for last year do remain. |
Roulette  |
Play roulette at The Spin Palace Casino which very possibly offers the best array of roulette choices of any site on the internet. American roulette, of course, but also European roulette, roulette French style and 'European Roulette Gold'. The latter offers the ever popular neighbour and call bets as often used in the best bricks and mortar casinos. Why are these choices so important? For a start European roulette has only one zero. This effectively halves the take of the house compared to those tables with the double-zero - this site has been independently audited showing a payout rate of over 98.5% on its tables - and the wide choice of games gives you the ability to play your favourite roulette systems. Smooth software download and set-up, many methods of opening an account, including Neteller, along with all the usual promotions make for a most enjoyable online experience. |
Poker Pages  |
A fine site with a multitude of poker-related articles, help pages, news and press releases, tournament schedules, chat rooms and the kicthen sink. Oh yeah, you can actually play poker here for cash too. |
The Gambler's Book Club  |
Based in Las Vegas (where the know a thing or two about gambling) this site offers a great online service and great prices too; covering a fine range of books and videos. Don't be put off by the 'book club' name, there's no obligation to join-up and take regular delivery of books or any of that nonesense. If you live outside the USA it is usually cheaper to buy your books here and have them imported than it is to buy them locally, especially if you are buying a few at a time. Particularly good on poker books, but caters for all tastes and very helpful staff should you ever visit or need to phone. |
UKPoker.com  |
Keeps abreast of poker in the UK and Ireland, including the TV show Late Night Poker heats and finals. Bookstore is overpriced. The site used to have problems with Netscape but these appear to have now been fixed - no problems with other web browsers have been reported. |
Shark Scope  |
This poker utility allows you to monitor poker players across many poker sites, including Poker Stars (though not Ultimate Bet). It is especially good at showing the results from sit and go tournaments and can offer you all sorts of stats about the players you find you are sitting at the table with. It allows 5 free searches per day, or you can subscribe and get full and unlimited access. Very definitely worth checking out and might just be the tool you're looking for to give you that extra edge for increased profitability. |
UK Tournament Poker Software  |
This site is mainly about the fantastic shareware software that it offers to model UK-style Texas Hold Em, Omaha and 7 Card Stud cash games and tournaments. Easily the best computer players we've ever come across in any software, although it looks amateurish and can be buggy towards the end of a tournament, register it anmyway and get the full version. If it doesn't pay for itself at least a hundred times over - give up poker. |
Ultimate Bet  |
One of the first online card rooms, offers tournaments and cash games for 'play chips' or real money - not to mention the Devilfish. Well respected, tried and tested. |
Party Poker  |
Was one of the quality online poker rooms, and probably the biggest at one time, now though it has declined. Although it is still good enough to make this page, if its tournament structures, and especially its sit and go structures get any worse, then the poker will have become so de-skilled as to have the site removed from this page. It also has ludicrously introduced a charge for 'maintaining any accounts which hold cash and are not in regular use'. It does still allow you to play all types of poker for cash or just for fun with a very good and often updated interface, and is also one of the easiest sites to withdraw your winnings from, with the least fuss, especially for British players. |
