Cherry Poker Review
This poker site has merged with Betsson Poker. Please view Betsson Poker for a review of the new site. Cherry Casino no longer hosts a poker room.
Cherrycasino.com has Java “no download” software. When you deposit your money automatically goes into the casino. On the cashier page you will then have the option to put it into your poker account.
Best Attributes of Cherry Poker
Cherry Casino is a “skin” of Pokerroom.com so the poker room interface is rated one of the best in the business. A skin means they share the same player database even though you are playing under a different poker room name.
The best attribute is the up front bonus into your casino account when you first deposit.
Worst Attributes
Not very many bad attributes. They have the cashier located on the website’s homepage so you can’t access the cashier from the poker room interface. It is a bit of a pain sometimes if you need to deposit money quickly. Hopefully you will not have to.
Tight or Aggressive Site
The tournaments are very loose and aggressive while the cash games can be tight. There is no 1 over riding style at this poker room because of the huge player volume. Play tight in the sit n go tournaments and more aggressive at the short handed cash tables.
Bad Beat Factor
If you have an aggressive style at the cash tables you will minimize the chasers. Make them pay for their draws and you will win at this poker room. Overall it’s a mild bad beat factor depending if you find some loose casino players testing their luck at the poker room.
Cherry Poker Freerolls
They have weekly freerolls consisting of $100 and $150 prize pools. The payouts are kind of low but they are free to enter. The freerolls are held on Wednesday and Sundays. Once you register they let you enter into the free tournaments.
Cherry Poker Bonus
Cherry Casino/Poker gets the award for the best up front secret bonus. You can get $111 up front monthly for the casino when you deposit to play at the poker room. We usually deposit $100 bucks a month, transfer it to the poker room, and play with the free bonus money at the casino.
Use this link to get an upfront bonus of $111
To prevent fraud you can not withdraw your bonus until requirements are met. You can not use the bonus at the poker room so don’t try, it wont let you.
A secret bonus that they don’t really advertise is there 10% window of opportunity. Every Saturday you can get an additional 10% bonus on top of your first deposit bonus up to $100. The time frame for this is 11:00 pm ET and 11:59 pm ET.
What’s Unique?
The free $111 a month is very unique. There are not too many poker room/casinos that give you an up front bonus let alone every month. This poker room and casino is great for those who love to gamble but hate to lose their own money.
