Cake Poker was founded in 2005 by a couple of online poker enthusiasts and has since become hugely popular with gaming enthusiasts. It offers poker players one of the most reliable and exciting experiences available due to the huge number of tournaments and prizes available to players operating at all levels of the game.

Their unique Gold Card program offers something different to other poker rooms and the amount of traffic they receive means that their is always the option of finding a game no matter what time of day or night it is.

Software

For a company that came from nowhere, the Cake Poker software is truly remarkable. The graphics are great, gameplay is smooth and all new players have the option to choose an online avatar to represent themselves at the table. There have been reports in the past of issues with the software frequently disconnecting from the server, but this appears to be something which has now been fixed with the introduction of regular downloadable updates.
