Gaming Club Poker Review
Gaming Club Poker is one of the leading prima poker rooms. That means they run all the prima network tournaments, and that is a lot of them. There are big money freerolls, guaranteed prize pool tourneys, and lots of satellites for land-based events.
Gaming Club Poker has earned the eCogra Seal of Approval

Like many, but not all, of the poker rooms on the prima poker network, the Gaming Club Poker room is an offshoot of a successful online casino, the Gaming Club.
What makes Gaming Club Poker different than most of the rooms on the network is that when all the other casino affiliated rooms were opening they were treating poker players the very same way they treated casino players. After all, in their mind a gambler is a gambler.
The Gaming Club crew, on the other hand, understood that poker players are not the run of the mill casino gamblers. They worked hard on the message boards to make sure players were having a good experience at the room, and worked to push the prima poker network in the right direction. This kind of customer-oriented view put them steps ahead of the rest of the prima poker pack.
They ran a series of promotions that included everything from free No Deposit money for new players, to 100% match bonuses, to an ongoing bonus that rewarded players continually up to $200 if they spent time at a series of tables that dealt at different limits. Check their website to find out their current promotion.
Being part of the prima network, you can expect the same features in the software that you can find at any of the prima rooms. There is an oversized chat box, real-time player stats tracking, player notes, proprietary hand histories, and multitable capabilities.
The room deals games of holdem, omaha, and stud in varying limits, with different betting styles. There are heads up tournaments available, and not just one on one matches. The heads-up tourneys at the Gaming Club mimic those of the National Heads Up Championship, where up to 16 players compete in a series of one-on-one matches until one person is the final champion.
Overall, I think of the Gaming Club Poker Room as one of the more repuatable prima rooms online. If you're going to play on the prima network, this is one of the more solid choices.
