About Poker770
Poker770 is a very popular site on the iPoker network. Their helpful 24/7 customer support, state of the art software, large guarantee tournaments and Speed Hold’em have made them the site of choice for many players.
Software
The Poker770 software, created by Playtech, features some impressive graphics. Although there are many customizable features, there are two main graphical choices. Players can choose to play in 2D, where there are small picture avatars next to the player’s screen-name. Players can also play in 3D, with animated avatars surrounding the poker table and a dealer at the head of the table to simulate an real-life poker game. Although the 3D mode features impressive graphics, if a player likes to play many tables at once, the 2D mode is a better option.
Promotions and Deposit Bonus
Poker770 offers an impressive first-deposit bonus of 200% up to $2,000. In addition to the deposit bonus, Poker770 also offers numerous promotions, some available to new players and some available to everyone.
New real-money players can receive $7.70 in cash and $10 in casino credit using the bonus code "BonPok". No deposit is necessary to take advantage of this. They also get access to hourly freerolls and unlimited free Sit & Go’s (SNGs) with a total of 50K in prizes.
For all players, Poker770 offers their Bounty Pro770 promotion, giving players the chance to win prizes and even become a member of their roster of professional players, Team770. Everyday they run a €5 tournament that gives players the opportunity to play with pro players. If a player is able to knock out 4 pros in one week, they win $50K and a 1-year sponsorship to be a part of Pro Team770.
Special Features
Poker770 also offers players a unique application called BackBet. This gives players the ability to wager on side bets while playing poker. Players can make bets with each other on upcoming action at the tables, for example, what color the next card will be, whether the next card will be a 10 or less and so on.
The iPoker network exclusive, Speed Hold’em, is available on Poker770. Playing only 1 Speed Hold’em table, it is possible to see as many hands as one would see playing 4 regular tables. Every player at the same buy-in level of Speed Hold’em is a part of the same player pool. Unlike regular tables where all the players remain on the same table, as soon as a hand ends players are shifted to a new table with new opponents. Players have the option to click “Speed Fold” whenever they are facing a bet, this folds their hand and puts them at a new table without having to wait until the current hand ends.
Loyalty Program and Tournaments
Poker770′s VIP Club rewards players by giving them points as they play at the tables. Points can be redeemed for cash, bonuses, tournament tickets and items from their VIP store. Points for each raked hand played at a cash table and on the fees paid to enter tournaments. Players are assigned a VIP Level based on their playing activity, starting out at Novice, one can make their way to the Elite level where they gain access to all the rewards the VIP Club can offer.
Poker770′s tournament schedule guarantees $3 million in prizes every month. Some of their most notable tournaments are the weekly Sunday $200K Guarantee with a $215 buy-in, the Daily 20 Grand with a $55 buy-in and the weekly Friday $50,000. There are also plenty of satellite tournaments running daily for those who want to play the large tournaments without paying the full buy-in price.
Game Quality and Traffic
According to pokerscout, at their 24-hour peak there are more than 6K cash game players.
The games at Poker770 are a little more difficult than the other major poker networks. On average, the players on the iPoker network are not as loose as players on other networks. Poker770 has a lot of traffic, which makes table selection easier than smaller sites.
