Absolute Poker Download

$500 Absolute Poker Download Bonus

Absolute Poker continues to welcome American players in a time when many online poker rooms have closed their doors to them. Let's take a look at Absolute Poker Download as part of the CEREUS network and see how that technology impacts new and existing players.

One of the key features of the CEREUS network that Absolute Poker is a part of, is security. On a personal level, the download software does encrypt your details to protect your privacy, which is always good to hear. But it goes far beyond that - CEREUS also uses an Absolute Poker software download to ensure that their poker customers are protected from scams and cheaters, creating a safe environment to play in. For example, the software can detect collusion - when two or more players at the table are collaborating with each other in order to rig the game. It can also detect and prevent chip dumping. On top of that, the software constantly analyses hand data to spot winning statistics that just don't add up. This protects players against even currently unknown methods of cheating.

The Absolute Poker download version is about 27 MB, which is quick over an average broadband connection. The software isn't resource intensive and runs on most systems - but only Windows-based PCs. But users of Apple products, or players running Linux systems are not left out in the cold, because Absolute Poker also allow you to play on their network directly inside your web browser. Most browsers are supported, the only caveat being that you need to have Java installed. The two versions of the software have very similar feature sets, although few games such as blackjack are not available through the web browser interface. However, full tournament play is supported in both versions.

Absolute Poker offers some of the most exciting play across all levels of skill. At the lower end they have free tables for practice play, after which you can migrate to tables with $1 and $2 blinds. Once you've cut your teeth, you can progress to serious no limit action where the pots routinely grow into six figures. At this level, you will also start bumping into internationally famous poker players. The sheer size of the CEREUS network means that it has one of the biggest Bad Beat jackpots around - it was hit for nearly $800,000 in November, and has already grown back into the hundreds of thousands.

Absolute Poker accept more funding options than I've ever seen at an online poker room before. They do accept funding via credit card, and they recommend that US players use their MasterCards or their Visas. They also accept most common e-wallets such as CLICK2PAY, Moneybookers and NETeller, although US players are now prohibited from using the latter.
