Summary
Fortune Poker is on the Boss Network and so has a large shared player base, which continues to grow quickly. There are about 1300-1400 players at tables at peak times and 2600 – 2800 at the tournaments. The majority of players are European so peak times tend to be in the British evenings. This is also noticeable in the currencies in use which range from US dollars to Euros to Turkish lire. Limits range from 5c to $200, though it is really the lowest stake games that are the most popular. Going up any higher in the stakes leads you to less populated tables and much better players. Unless you are an experienced player it would be best to stick to low limit games in order to get a return on your investment.
Fortune Poker has its own poker school, featuring the rules of the games, a glossary and mock hands which takes you through a hand of Texas Hold’em and Seven Card Stud step-by-step. The software allows you to multi-table up to 5 (providing your screen can fit them on clearly and your computer has the resources). Two handy features of Fortune Poker to help with multi tabling are the timer which allows you to see how long you have left to decide on your next move, and the hand history, so you can learn from previous hands.
Games
Fortune poker offers Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Five card draw and Seven card stud, with promises to continue improving the site. Turbo tables have been introduced for players who like their games a little faster. There are frequent multi table tournaments, including freeroll and guaranteed $3000 and $1500 tournaments weekly.
Navigation
The home page is easy to navigate though its style feels quite old fashioned and almost quaint. However, the headings are concise and easy to follow and the lobby graphics are clear and detailed showing the table, currency, type, stakes, players, wait, flop percentage, and average pot. The table graphics are also good, with the focus being drawn to the large cards on the table rather than the surroundings.
Bonuses/Promotions
Fortune Poker has a limited number of bonuses with no loyalty bonus scheme. There is a 100% match on your first deposit up to a maximum of $500. This bonus however does have to be earned through raked hands. For every $5 you personally generate in rake, you will receive $1 back; this can take longer to do though than it sounds. There are also weekly freeroll tournaments with the chance to win either $1500 or $3000.
Rake
Fortune Poker takes a rake of 5% up to a maximum of $1 on low stakes games ($1-$2 limits), and up to a maximum of $3 on tables with limits ranging from $2-$4 to $8-$16. On high stake games however the player is favoured with the rake starting at 50c and only going up to $1 ($10-$20 to $20-$40 limit tables).
Deposits/Withdrawals
Deposits can be made with either credit cards, Neteller, Firepay, PaySafecard, or Bank transfer.
Customer Service
There is 24 hour support by either email or free phone and also live chat.
