| Title: | Small but nice Pokerroom with excellent software | 5 out of 7 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| Hi! I can only say the same as my previous poster. I think switchpoker is compared to the pokerstars mobile client " less bloated" , I prefer the pokerstars client on my galaxy tab, but I can only play on my nexus with switchpoker. So maybe stars is better for hi-res devices, switchpoker better for low-res, justmy2cents.
i like the graphics, it looks modern, networks that have way more budget have much crappier software.
the players are fishy. As far as I can say, I only tried it a little to write a review since Im poker affiliate as well.
The traffic is low, but for their defence, it is rising. They recently launched a free 5€ bonus, every player entering 5euro as bonuscode recieve 5€ free on their signup, so I expect the traffic, especially in the microstakes to be growing faster then expected.
I promote them, even If its risky nowadays to promote new rooms, however, I hope they have future, since it is one of the only platforms that focuses on mobile poker. Lets see what the future will bring for Switchpoker :) | |

| Title: | Great small agile site | 4 out of 6 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| I have played on Switch for two years. I really like it and it has been very robust, supportive, simple but good interface and above all trustworthy so far. And the flow has been getting better lately. If you are not picky and are ready to play short handed you can always find a table or two at your stake (2nl - 100nl). It also supports bitcoins even bitcoin tables, haven't yet tried but it is quite nice add-on imo.
The rake is around the same (5%) than on the major sites which is the reason I gave only nine out of ten. | |

| Title: | Good new site | 2 out of 3 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| This upcoming site is very nice if you are traveling and want to play some online poker. I play on my android phone and it works very good. You can play up to 4 tables and you can do this nicely on your phone or tabloid.
You can also use bitcoins, but I just used moneybookers.
The support is helpful, within a couple of days you get a personal response and they are very friendly.
The only downsize is the number of players, you have to wait for a game sometimes. | |

| Title: | Terrible, avoid!! | 2 out of 4 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| Can't believe the comments about this site. Do some homework, owner based in Ireland, company registered in Costa Rica or somewhere like that, software company name Thailand based, alarm bells!
It seems to be the same players every time you play, with ridiculous all in's and strange rivers, not to mention the Moneybookers 1 click deposit, which is easy to do wrong and end up depositing 4 times.
I'll give this site 6 months, AVOID!!!! | |

| i enjoyed it, it is a small site with low traffic, but you can tell its growing, it is busier now than it was a month ago, hopefully this will continue.
I like the way it looks, the graphics are clear, i played pokerstars mobile and I found it very busy for a mobile, so I will stick to switchpoker on my mobile and stars on my pc.
buying in is easy, I use my moneybookers and sometimes visa, and I can withdraw easy too.
and the games are soft its sick! i play maybe 2-3 hours a day in the evenings from 530pm usually on the train and they are so bad players its funny. i make better money here on 4 tables than i do on stars haha!
i have had no problems myself with DC but i can see when other people do DC, it makes the games slower a little, but i use 3g or wifi and its stable for me.
the bonus was good also, i cleared €50 deposit in a few days, but they have no reload bonus so i hope they will put that in soon.
also it is only holdem, i want them to make omaha, and maybe some SNG's but i prefer cash so i dont really care for tournaments, maybe they will put some more games in soon.
bad points- it is very quiet, they need more players. maybe some affiliates to give bonuses, i dont see the banners many places. | |

| Title: | Super site | 2 out of 6 readers found this review helpful | |

| You have to love this site on Android. Works really well on my Galaxy tab and my crappy Xperia. The signup bonuses are great and they seem to hand out free bonuses all the time for no reason. Highly recommend this site. | |

| Title: | us props are saying bye bye | 1 out of 3 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| this site was good up to a few years ago. I was able to make half a dozen decent withdrawals. Since then I occasionally visit the site but my runs were all unsuccessful. The regs are fairly easy to beat. There's a mixture of props, regs and newbies. Since the site is small it's fairly easy to regconise who's who in a few sessions.
I don't deposit alot when I do my run as any stakes 1/2+ you're going to be coolered.
Now it seems they do coolers everywhere. If you're running hot/playing good and win 5+ buyins at any level as low as NL10 they will start to cooler you.
the site isn't enjoyable anymore as the regs don't offer you a challenging game and once you're up they take it back fast. If you don't enjoy working hard to win and losing it back fast then don't bother playing here... you will only be spinning your wheels.
Sites like these will never grow as they don't have the budget to attract alot of newbies and they can't afford to let the newbies feed some of the regs to retain them. Most of the regs migrate as why would they play at a site with almost no game selection and no edge. Most newbies would only sign up here on impulse as they have
so many other choice bigger sites to play at.
how do I know these things .. well I have a prop account at the site. We have a reduction in rakeback when other props sit in at a table and this is shown in real time so it's easy to know who's who instantly. I had a props list in the hundreds up to 2 years ago and they were able to retain none of us which leads me to believe only house accounts win here. | |

| Title: | lol | 1 out of 3 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| Im not posting a review as i dont play on switch but in response to the last poster who complained about the high rating. The rating is high because it only has 10 reviews because obviously its a graveyard and the ppl posting here are affiliated with the site. I agree though when you said ull give this site 6 months to survive as once full employment takes hold again these f---in pokersites are gonna suffer. Its the single biggest reason online poker exploded since 2008. | |

| Title: | Good on the iPhone | 6 out of 10 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| I signed up through my iPhone. The registration process was simple enough although it could be simplified a little to make it easier on an iPhone. I used Skrill (Moneybookers) to deposit which was easy enough as I had an account already.
Game play on the phone was great. So far I've played on two train trips for about an hour each time and it worked great. No disconnections even though I was travelling (I was on 3G).
After my 1st session I cashed out €130 and it went through instantaneously so no problems there. | |

| Title: | Terrible, buggy - don't trust the other reviews, you'll lose your money | 1 out of 4 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| Sheesh, switch poker is absolutely the worst poker service I've ever used. I was looking for one I could use on my phone, which of course it allows (HTML app). I watched real money tables for a while to make sure there weren't problems, which there were. A player would post a bet, and the next player would check (as in, switch poker would allow the player to not call the prior bet, obviously not good). This gapped at least 5 times in the 5 minutes I watched, so it is clearly some highly exploited security hole in their API. Then, I joined a free table to see if I could reproduce the issue. When it was my turn to call the first bet of the first hand I played (after the blind which worked the first time) there was no way to do so. The buttons didn't change. There was just a "check/fold" button (obviously not applicable, since there was a bet, but no other button. Absolutely the worst. Do NOT allow your money to be stolen.
Ed. note: A Switch Poker representative responds to this review as follows:
----------
Oro, thank you for your feedback. It appears that what you have written is inaccurate. It is absolutely not possible for a player to continue in the hand without calling the bet to them (unless they are all-in of course). The site has been extensively tested by 3rd parties over the last three years and there have been over six million hands played to date. If a bug like the one you describe did exist we would certainly have heard about it by now.
If you notice any hand which you feel there is an issue with please send us along the Hand ID (visible at the top of the table and in the dealer chat window) and we will look into it. It is possible that a bad connection would cause the game to pause and for you not to receive notification that it is your turn, or the use of an unsupported device may cause issues. If you contact us with your screen name we will review the connection history and look for any issues.
Also, if you ever experience an issue when playing on the site, please do contact us. We _always_ respond to all reported issues. We work very hard to ensure that all customers have a nice playing experience.
All the best
The Switch Poker Team
