So, I've been playing on the site for about a week and so far that wasn't too bad. Took the no bonus offer and it really payed off.
The main thing about site is that it's full of donks (sorry, don't wanna offend anyone but that's true). About 40% of hands ends up "all-in". Just seems that players don't give a dam about the money, because half of them just push everything they got with a mid pair or even a gutshot (for example 3 players pushed all in, 1st player has 83 not suited, 2nd player 92 not suited, 3rd player K5 not suited, should mention that all-in was 10$-15$). So bluffing on this poker site isn't the best idea. On other hand, for strong poker players, this is a really good way to make some money, because if you play smart, it ain't hard to get money from players like that. Of course even best players have bad luck, but that's not the point. Another thing about the site, there are very few players. It's really easy to analyze people because so far it's mostly same people playing every time you come. Bad thing about the site is that the micro stakes start from 5/10c, so if your waiting for a really good hand to play, you just might get eaten by blinds, because most of the tables are 6 players. For real there's only 1 table that suits 10 players (and it's usually empty). Because of that playing with a low bankroll is a big minus.The sit&goes and other games also seems to be empty. There's seem to be no real tournaments. Well there are 3 freerolls a day (25$, 10$ and 5$), but the problem about them that only 3 first places get the money, no mater how many players would sign up. Also the design really sucks. Just seems that the creators didn't bother to do much work on it. You can't reduce the window size and for players who likes to play more than 2 or 3 tables at same time is a bit of the problem. Also the table window pops-up not only when it's your turn or you're running out of time, but also when other players are running out of time, which in my idea is bit of annoying. One more thing i really didn't like that there's no auto re-buy. I understand that it's a new poker site, but in my opinion the creators released it bit unprepared (but I hope for some big future updates).
Concluding everything, it's a new site that still needs for strong players to show up, because so far it looks more like a bingo game than poker. On other side, the lack of real players means easy money from donks, if you don't get struck down by luck. For new poker players, choosing this site would be one of the worst decisions. That would just be a waste of money. Even though you'd start with 8$ no deposit bonus, should really be careful.
So that's about it with the review, hope this will help a bit playing on KingdomOfPoker and good luck for you guys.
Hey, good job with the review. Been playing there for about 2days and heres what i have to say.
One of two features needed to play 4 tables - change size (tile table) or change seat (when u play 4 tables sitting on the top, u cant see the cards u r dealt on the bottom tables - overlap) but i can live with that and get used to it.
Autorebuy - been playin on OnGame and theres no autorebuy either,so i think of it as unnecesary luxury.
Of course there is plenty of things that need improvement speaking of design,but to be honest, i've played on HighPulse when they started and there was problem with the programme itself - they had bugs in the game - wrong reseating in Trnys, shortstack was all-in 1500 chips on the BB (blinds 2000/4000) and u could raise 3000 etc...
Generaly Imo the most important thing is for the players to play there,when the trafic goes better im sure the updates will come.Bonus+rakeback+fish...Nice site for me.
BTW strong talk about the fish and donks on the site and about beating the game.Let me ask you whats ur Nickname there,we r surely playing each other.

Already wrote my nick, it's Monty. Ain't really playing too much, 1 - 2 hours a day, but that's more than enough for me there. The points are easy to collect because of high blinds

Well one thing, you must get 288 points to cash out money made from 8$ bonus, and the second thing, i think that 5,000 stands for 5$. If not then the site is really crazy.

i didnt said that i wanted to withdraw, off course i have to do some points and deposit at least 20$ to withdraw, but what i write there is the message from site, so i think could not be 5$...will be really crazy with minimum 5$ or5000$, both of them...

I wrote the support about that. All they said is that at the moment there's no other way to withdraw your money (if you don't have 1000$) than click2pay and netteler, if you have 1k$ than you can withdraw through wiretransfer (not 5000$ as it says under the withdrawal).
So as for now, there ain't really a good way to withdraw money. Hope they'll work on that.

what i experienced is that the site is just too low in number of players- and that is a huge problem, it doesn't mater even if the software is 11 out of possible 10, what's the point to have great software with the most awesome promotions if the players are just not showing up...

It seems that other platforms had a better strategy with those freerolls that organized at the beginning(high pulse), both sites were launched in the same time...
Plus i wonder why there aren't too many asian players on kingdom, i saw they try to advertise the site in asia.

Hey everybody,
We at Kingdom of Poker really do appreciate your input. We know there's some annoying things about the software, as there usually is when a site launches. We're working on fixing all these things in a future update.
We've processed many withdrawals, and Neteller is one of the largest ewallets in the world. We have more coming. Sit tight, your money is safe with us.
We appreciate you playing and telling us what we need to fix. We opened this site to Bankroll Mob as a soft launch, to learn as much as we could and fix what we can. We know there are some difficulties whenever a site launches, that's why we're giving you all some free money to start with. The players really are nuts, the ones we get to play on our site, and there is a lot of money to be made.
