I recently signed up to pokerstars and am thinking of signing up to full tilt, but was wondering if anyone had any other sites they like that they could tell me about.

I am in the UK, play mostly mtts at weekends and have a bankroll of approx $100 ($50 spare after depositing at pokerstars).

I like pokerstars, but doesnt seem to be much in the way of cash added tournaments or decent freerolls to help get my bankroll going- are any of the other sites better?

I would consider opening an account any site on the Merge network except G2G which went out of business on two different networks. Take a look at Carbon, Ironduke, and PokerNordia.

paddy power has some good FRs for new members, Im up 100 from zero there
bodog is pretty soft and u can get FRs from here (CC)
I like ultimate and absolute also.
Go with the sites from here maybe for now -- UB and bodog, if you want MTT FRs and small buyins, Titan is also promoted here, check the offers.

thanks makwa

nice play getting to 100- that sounds good!

I read about some trouble with Ultimatebet and Absolute - is it safe to play there?

Just been looking at bodog- looks pretty good so might give that a go first

There is a ton of info about AP and UB scandals out there, check it (threads here and google).
I am not worried at either site myself.
Bodog may be in trouble BTW (check it) so I wouldnt deposit much there.

check out the poker room reviews tab at the top of the page and use the cardschat bonus codes when you decide which ones you'd like to download

BTW you obviously have a ton to learn about the sites out there, so take the time to do lots of research (yourself, dont just ask people their opinions), and try one place at a time, dont get carried away with a bunch of new sites (baby steps).

Thanks again!- been doing some research for a few hours and found some great offers

will check out the bodog trouble- almost deposited the rest of my bankroll there, so thanks for warning!

Just signed up for Ultimatebet, but might take a while for offer I found to come through, so will stick to clearing bonus at pokerstars for time being.

Found some reviews of bet365 which look good ('nolose' tournaments sound right up my street!)- anyone play there?
