Everest Poker Site Short Description

During its time in the poker industry, Everest has come a long way and is now the 6th largest online poker site. In 2007 Everest Poker was awarded "Poker Operator of the Year" and "Hotshot Operator of the Year" at the eGaming Review Awards. Then recently, Everest Poker signed a multi-year agreement with Harrah's Entertainment, Inc., which gives them satellite rights and ‘table felt’ rights to place their brand on the featured table at the World Series of Poker. This is the first time any such agreement was ever struck with an online poker room and the deal will enable Everest Poker to reach a worldwide audience of approximately 200 million people, just from having their brand throughout the WSOP.

Whether players are new to the game of poker or a seasoned pro, free/play money and real money players alike will get a warm welcome at Everest Poker where they will find a game suited to their playing style. The easy to navigate lobby is filled with game and limit choices, live action cash games and hundreds of tournaments. Another reason everyone will feel at home is because Everest Poker is multi-lingual and available in over 20 languages. For playability, players keep coming back for more because Everest Poker is well known for having ‘soft’ games compared to other online poker rooms, which makes cash games and tournaments very profitable, even for new players.

Everest Poker has a huge tournament schedule in both Sit n' Go and Multi-table formats. Over 30 Tournaments are offered daily with buy-ins ranging from Freerolls up to $100+9 and includes many guaranteed prize pool tournaments with payouts from $500 to $100k. Plus Everest Poker offers satellites to some of the biggest live events on the planet like the WSOP, The PokerNews Cup, the EPT, the SPT, the Master Classics of Poker and their own online Everest Avalanche Poker Tournament every spring with a prize pool of $1,000,000. And of course players can win a seat in all of these events as little as $1.00 by playing in Everest Poker's satellite qualifiers.

Limit and Rake Structure

At Everest Poker you can find Texas Hold ‘em and Omaha game varieties. For Hold’em games, limits start at $0.02/$0.02 and go up to $10/$10 for No Limit Holdem and up to $10/$20 for Fixed Limit. The Omaha games start at the same $0.02/$0.02 micro limit and go up to $20/$20 for Pot Limit and $30/$60 for Fixed Limit.

The rake at Everest Poker is on par with the industry standard with the size of the rake being based on both what limit is being played and how many players are involved in the pot. At Pot/No Limit, below $0.1/$0.1, the rake is $0.01 per $0.20 in the pot, maximum of $1 for 2-3 players and $2 maximum for 4-5 players and $3 max for 6-10 players. Above the $0.2/$0.2 level the rake is $0.05 per $1 in the pot, but with the same max based on the number of players as above. For Fixed limit at the lower levels, the rake is capped at $0.1 for 2-3 players, $0.25 for 4-5 players and $0.5 for 6-10 players. Games above the $0.1/$0.2 limit, the rake is $1 maximum for 2-3 players, $2 for 4-5 players and $3 for 6-10 players.
Everest Poker also offers the player friendly “No Flop No Drop” policy, meaning if there is no flop, there is no rake taken from the pot.
