Summary
Everest Poler has made a big impact for a new room. One of the first completely European focused poker rooms (no US players allowed), Everest sports sixteen languages and offers play in most major European poker events. The traffic levels have been on the upswing since Everest opened their virtual doors, and constant PR efforts and unique promos bring in more and more players.
The rake is below the industry standard and the loyalty program rewards cash game play, so Everest Poker is swiftly becoming a favorite for ring game grinders, who can play on as many as eight tables at one time. Loose play is reported at all levels, players likely attracted by the $100 Welcome Bonus given to every player who opens an account.
Key Tournaments
With over 20 guarantee tournaments happening every day, there is always something going on at Everest Poker. Guaranteed prize pools start at $100 and buy-ins of only $0.10, with daily tournaments for $5000 or more happening every day! The firm also has the standard sit & go and freeze out tournaments on offer every day.
Game Variety
Game choice at Everest is sub-standard - being a European centred market, there isn't really the demand for American favoured variants such as 7 Card Stud. Texas Hold’em (No Limit, Pot Limit and Fixed Limit) and Pot Limit Omaha (hi) are readily available, but Stud, Razz, PLO Hi-Lo and mixed games are all unavailable.
Everest fairs significantly better in its tournament play. There are low stakes tournaments running around the clock for the aspiring bank roll builder, and unique formats such as 'Winner takes all' and 'Step Jumper'. Regular summit points freerolls also run. Highroller tournaments are less frequent, with the $215 buy-in $100k guaranteed the jewel in the Everest Poker tournament crown. Satellites to live events, such as the EPT Vilamoura in Portugal, run frequently.
Traffic
Everest Poker has around 5,000 players at peak hours in their Ring games, with total traffic in the excess of 15,000. Low and mid stakes games up till $5/$10 are well represented, but play is mostly concentrated on heads up at higher levels.
Rake
Everest Poker offers a lower than industry standard rake, which is good news to cash game players. The rake is at 4% and is capped at $3, (standard is 5% and capped at $5) and in addition to the no flop, no drop (if there is no flop no rake is taken) no rake is taken on pots that don’t equal at least three times the big blind.
If only two players are at a table the rake cap is only $1—all in all, Everest is a very cash-game friendly site.
Competition
With players viewing the flop as much as 60% in cash games, the loose fishy games are ideal for the shrewd TAG player. Most rooms have tighter games as the stakes go up, but Everest seems to be fairly loose across the board. Whether this has anything to do with the predominantly central European player base remains to be seen.
Support
Everest Poker Support is 24/7, but only available via email. To top it off, players must fill out a support request form. Live chat and telephone support would be welcome, but the email response time is adequate.
