Residents in countries out with these areas can email the support team with their number and they will call you back. Two other email addresses cover General Enquires and Marketing.

Download, installation, purchase and cash-in help sections fully cover these areas with graphics and text advice on hand as is a comprehensive FAQ's page.

New Player Assistance: Poker Rewards offer a limited amount of game information to assist new players. Visit the site and you'll find text information on each type of featured game with game descriptions and a Glossary of all the poker terms you'll come across together with tips on how to play.

Play For Fun: Yes. Poker Rewards players use the same software and the same poker room to play for free, it's only the tables that vary. Everything in the free game is identical to the real game, its all live and fully interactive.

Rake: The rake is the amount of money that Poker Rewards takes for moderating the games. This applies to games without an ante. The rake equals 5 percent of the pot and is never more than $3.00.

Loyalty Bonus: Yes - Available through the Poker Rewards loyalty program. Every time you play a raked hand or enter a tournament at either Golden Tiger Poker or Virtual City Poker you will be earning more loyalty points. You can access your account and check the status of your points whenever you like and when you wish to use your loyalty points, you can direct the credits to either poker room.

Hand History: Each played hand is assigned a unique number, which can be used to access a report of the hand’s activity. If you have questions regarding a certain hand, right click on the table and select the “Previous Game Hand History” option. In that page, enter in the game number and click on “Look up.” You may view the history for any hand in which you played.

If you do not know the number of the hand you wish to view, work back from the number of the current hand in the hand history page.

Our opinion: Poker Rewards is a straightforward poker site perhaps more suited to those of you who are already playing poker online. If you're just starting to play poker or are looking for more in-depth information about how to play or get poker tips etc then they may not have all you need. You can however download their games, play for free if you like and practice your skills. It won't cost you anything and it's a good way to get the feel of playing for real.

If you are a real money player looking for a good Prima Poker room then we think they're worth a try. One of the better aspects of playing at Poker Rewards is the fact that you are automatically enrolled into the Loyalty program which also includes the two additional poker rooms mentioned above. Members get access to a dedicated area where the various aspects and areas of operation of the program are covered.

In effect it means that any loyalty bonus you accrue can be taken with you if you move to any one of the other rooms on offer. For regular players it's a point well worth thinking about.
