Poker room closures

The recent spate of poker room closures should serve as a timely reminder to online poker players that it is always wise to check out a poker room before deciding to deposit their hard earned cash in there.

Just because a poker site has got a great bonus, or other attractive offer, is not enough reason to lump your cash in there without a second thought.

Before a poker room closes, or, worse still, goes under, there are always rumors about it on the internet. Sometimes a simple search on the name of the poker room with ‘problems’ after it can reveal lots of useful information.

Reading poker review sites can be a good way to get an idea about the trustworthiness of any particular poker room too. So long as you can trust the reviewers. Although it is fair to say that when a poker room folds, the affiliates are at much at rick of losing out, if not more so than the players.

Even so, many affiliates will simply put up any old review on their site and move on to the next room. You should read at least two reviews before deciding on a poker room.

And do that ‘problem’ search – it can save you a lot of money!
