Summary
Gaming Club Poker is one of the Prima Poker Network sites. This means that there is a wide base of shared players, many of whom are new to online poker, thanks to both their wide ranging advertising and links to a casino. If you are new to on-line poker this is a good website to get started with as it has a poker school, featuring tips and strategies as well as the rules, a glossary, and an explanation of the different hands. It is possible to practise for free first, or on the beginner’s tables with limits as low as 2c/5c, and there is the added help of note taking support and hand histories, allowing you to stay on top of your opponents’ game. For those more experienced there is the multi-table function, allowing you to minimize the table and play up to 10 tables at a time.
Games
Gaming Club Poker has a variety of games, featuring the most popular, Texas hold’em, Omaha (including Hi/Lo), seven card stud, five card stud and 1 on 1. There are a range of tables starting from micro limits of 2c/5c for the beginner, up to $200/$400 tables for the more serious player. There are also a number of tournaments including daily freerolls, satellites and sit’n’go and beginner. There is also the option of starting your own private tournament. The average number of players at peak times is between 2000-4000 at the tables and 5000 in tournaments, providing a range of skill, though it is mainly focused towards the lower end of the table limits.
Navigation
The site is easy to navigate with clear headings and information is easy to find. The graphics for the table are clear, with good size cards, whose colour you can change to suit your preference, and a simple layout. The lobby allows you to see at a glance the tables in play, including the game limit, the stakes, the number of players, the average pot, the number of hands, and the flop %.

The points you can earn depend upon on the table limits you play at, and for every raked hand you can earn between 0.1 to 2 points.
