Cake Poker is a relatively new poker room part of its own network, the Cake Poker Network (CKPN). This independent network accepts U.S. players but the traffic hasn't increased too rapidly. The game types offered are: Texas Hold'em, Seven Card Stud, Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo. Player competition is soft because most of the Cake Poker players come from sportsbooks in the Cake Poker Network. The tournament variety includes multi-table, guaranteed and bounty tournaments as well as freerolls and smaller buy-in events that help increase the player traffic of the poker room.

The realism of the Cake Poker software is impressive, the character avatars look amazing and the graphics are clear. The casino-like setting provides a cool look and feel to the tables. The organization of the lobby facilitates finding information such as game, tournament and limit. The information displayed includes viewed-flop percentage, hands per hour and average pot. Access to the hand histories is available with a hand history viewer.


At the moment Cake Poker only offers email customer support but the response times are extremely fast and the replies contain helpful information. The professionalism of the customer support team compensates the lack of telephone and chat support. A comprehensive Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section is available at the Cake Poker website.
