Software -
very good
Red Star Poker uses the very original Cake Poker software and generally runs well. Fixes have been made over recent months which
have dramatically improved the softwares performance. Timeouts and disconnections are now rare.
Playability -
very good
Very easy to understand and use at the table with buttons and actions clearly marked. The lobby at is clean and unfussy with a
nice design.
Traffic -
good
Red Star shares the same player base as the increasingly popular Cake Poker software. This means that traffic is still relatively
low off peak hours but there is decent action at the ring tables at most times.
Support -
good
Generally friendly and fast. Often, e-mails are replied to in both Russian and English. They also offer online and telephone
support. Cashing out is normally problem free but can be a little slow at times. All the major standard deposit and withdrawal
methods are available.
Summary -
very good
Red Star Poker is an interesting mix that runs on the Cake Network software, is based in Malta but is primarily aimed at the
Russian and east European market. It is quite entertaining when receiving e-mails and tournament results, as these are sent in
both Russian and English, which certainly give the site an atmosphere all of it's own. The Cake Poker Network of players is
growing fast, and although traffic is still limited at the moment, this looks to be another site with a bright future.
Extra Information :
Frequent Player Points (FPPs)
FPPs are used to earn bonuses and Gold Chips. This is how you get FPPs and as a result how you get your bonus money and Gold Chips.
Earning FPPs Rules
You must play on a real money table. There must be rake generated during the hand You must be dealt cards during that hand.
You earn as many FPPs as there is rake on the table as long as you are dealt cards in that hand. For instance, if the rake on the
table is $0.75, you will earn .75 FPPs as long as you were dealt two cards in the hand, regardless of whether or not you bet. You
can earn a maximum of 3 FPPs per hand and the calculations are accurate to the penny, so if your table raked $2.99, you will
receive 2.99 FPPs.
A second way that you can earn FPPs is by paying the entry fee for a tournament. For each dollar worth of tournament fees you
pay, you earn 7 FPPs once you are finished the tournament. Just like Real Money Games, the calculations are accurate to the penny,
so for a $0.50 tournament fee, you will receive 3.5 FPPs.
