Everest Poker - Truly International Poker Destination

With fully translated software available in 15 different languages and operations started in the 1990s, Everest Poker claims to have been Europe’s first multilingual online poker destination. It is certainly one of the world’s most recognisable poker rooms and, thanks to industry-leading localization and personalization, it boasts a diverse community of poker enthusiasts - millions of them in 150 countries. Currency accepted includes Euros, U.S. dollars, and British pounds. The web site’s owner, Ultra Internet Media, S.A., is headquartered in Canada and the business is licensed and registered out of Malta.

Games to Play

The poker rooms at Everest Poker can only be accessed by those who have downloaded the web site’s exclusive poker application, as there is no instant play or flash version. However, once installed, both Texas Hold’em and Omaha can be practiced without risk in the "Free Play" mode against either automated players or real online players. No account funding is required, and there is no limit to the number of games that can be played.

Although navigation of the site is intuitive and requires no special training, for those starting out, Everest Poker offers free online poker tutorials and plenty of instructions for how to get the most out of the software. There are daily poker satellites to qualify for multi-table tournaments and the Shasta tables features weekly freerolls with real cash prizes. Sit & Go tournaments just start as soon as seats are filled, day and night, 24/7. Ring games (cash games) are ongoing, too.

Poker’s two most popular versions are offered - Texas Hold’em and Omaha - and there are many variations of each listed in the poker room lobby. These include Limit Texas Hold’em, No Limit Hold’em, and Pot Limit Texas Hold’em. There are also Mixed Texas Hold’em poker games, which switch back and forth from Limit to No Limit every other round. The options for Omaha are similar, with the addition of Lowball

In most of Everest Poker’s tournaments, each player starts out with a stack of 1,000 or 1,500 chips. Seating is at 10-position tables and blinds are increased every ten minutes. Various buttons and tabs provide easy control of Rebuy, Rebuy + Add-on, 6 Seat Tables, Deep Stack, Turbo, and Speed play. For those ready to take the step to "Real Money" play, a good introduction is the 10-seat Fuji No-Limit Hold’em table or the Tweed Pot Limit Omaha table, where the minimum is just $0.05.

Everest Poker’s rake structure is clearly posted on the web site, ranging from $0.02 to $3 per hand. Blinds for fixed limit games start at $0.10/$0.20 and run up to $5/$10. Deposits can be made by credit card, eWallet, or PaySafeCard. Withdrawals are affected via credit card, eWallet, or Cheque. The latter requires 4~6 weeks for delivery.
