Cake Poker Review 2010

Cake Poker overview 2010.

Cake Poker is a great option for rakeback players due to its high 33% fixed rakeback percentage and acceptance of US players. However, the room is let down by primitive software (doesn't work with PT3, HE or Mac computers) and tougher than average competition.

Great room for rakeback + bonus. 33% rakeback, which is higher than most.

Decent amount of traffic to work with, but not a crazy amount.

Poor software and tight competition due to Cake being a popular room for rakeback grinders.

The main reason why you would want to play at Cake Poker is for its handy 33% rakeback deal and the easy to clear $600 bonus. However, the presence of this rakeback deal and lower than average player traffic means that you will bump in to a fair number of tough grinders during your stay.

Cake Poker competition and traffic.

Decent amount of traffic.

There are more tight players and fewer loose fish at Cake than at most rooms.

You won't have any trouble finding a seat or multi-tabling at the lower stakes NL Texas Hold'em games. However, you will struggle to find a suitable variety of tables to play at as soon as you go past the $200NL stakes.

The main problem with Cake Poker is that the rakeback deal attracts the sort of players who are most likely to be regular grinders, and are therefore very tricky to beat. There will always be a handful of poor players floating around the room, but the volume of these players is far lower than at rooms like PokerStars.

It is possible to make money playing at Cake Poker, but you need to have very strong game and be able to use your table selection skills well to get the most from your sessions.

Cake Poker bonus.

Cake Poker offers a 110% up to $600 bonus to all new players at the poker room. No bonus code is needed, as the bonus is automatically given to all new players. Just make sure to enter the sign up code RAKEBANK when creating an account to get rakeback to go along with the automatic bonus.

Cake Poker bonus details.

110% up to $600.

No bonus code needed. Bonus is automatically given to all new depositors.

You get 7 FPPs for every $1 paid in rake.

10,00 FFPs needed to redeem the full $600 bonus.

Bonus released in $10 increments.

You have 90 days to collect as much bonus as possible.

On its own, the Cake Poker $600 bonus is actually a very attractive one. When you combine the bonus with a solid 33% rakeback deal, you stand to save a large amount of money that you would normally pay through rake during the bonus period.

This means that Cake Poker is a very profitable room to play at whilst you clear the bonus (as highlighted on the poker bonuses page). I would go as far to say that the 33% rakeback + bonus just about makes up for the poor software and tighter competition at Cake Poker.
