VCPoker Software & Systems
VC Poker's new software is way better. Good features include the "mini table" facility so you can play multiple games - up to 8 concurrently. You can choose your avatar (but you can end up at tables with 8 the same). Simplified bet/fold options and the ability to set up max bet limit warnings, etc are useful. Your play history is far more accessible (very cool feature).Tracking Action Points is also far easier and each table has your current total (useful for tournament entry, etc). One of the best features is in the lobby - tournament prize pools are live based on entry numbers. You can also sort the games by hands per hour or average pot sizes, etc
Based on Playtech's iPoker Software, VC Poker is quick to download & compatible with most operating systems.(Windows, Vista, Linus) Not Mac. Back end stuff like hand histories, your Action Points balance & cashier are all improved.
If you've already got a VC Bet (Sportsbook) or VC Casino account you don't need to set up a new one for VC Poker. VCPoker accepts deposits in all major currencies** via Neteller, Moneybookers, UKash, ECOcard, Visa, BACS, PayPal, Western Union Quick Pay, MasterCard & Debit Cards (Maestro, Delta, Switch, Solo, Laser). Withdraw winnings back to the same card you used for deposit or request a check/cheque. Note: The VCPoker currency is US Dollars, exchange rate is in the Cashier section - the same rate is applied to withdrawals & deposits. ** currencies accepted: USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, HKD, JPY, THB, NOK, SEK, NZD, DKK, CHF, SGD, Chinese Renminbi (RMB), Taiwanese dollars (TWD) & Korean Won (KRW)
VC Poker applies a rake policy in line with most UK & Euro-online poker rooms. (Max rake of $1 on the Limit tables up to $1/$2, & $3 for all others). This is less than 5%. They operate a no flop, no drop policy. Site security includes 128-bit encryption. Detail on the random number generation & card shuffling processes is on site & the Playtech iPoker Software has been independently certified & undergoes regular audit.
The opinions expressed in this section are the Gooner's own - you should always check out a poker room to make sure that you like them and that you understand the Ts & Cs before joining.
We only recommend the best, safest and most secure sites to gamble online so GoonersGuide visitors can rely on these sites as being reputable - and a whole lot of hassle-free and potentially profitable fun!
VC Poker is one of the bigger UK-owned poker rooms with good peak traffic (15,000 - 25,000) and round the clock action at most buy-ins. Most of the play is centred on low to mid-level stakes Hold'em tables. Freerolls and lower entry tournaments fill up fast so plan your day!
VC Poker offers Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud (all available in Limit, Pot-Limit, & even No-Limit for Omaha Hi/Lo). There are plenty of pot & no limit games available most of the time with lots of promotions to keep you on your toes. Buy-ins range from $0.10 to $50 and plenty of daily freerolls including those just for new players. Some good casino side games on offer too - eg a quality 6-deck Blackjack. Sorry, no Badugi any more if you were a fan.
We know the scale of the Playtech iPoker network is massive - Europe's biggest - so you get players of all sorts of skills. Players in exclusive VC Poker tournaments can be quite soft, probably due to punters from Victor Chandler sportsbook playing between football games! Lots of good cash game fish. There are some strong players however for some challenge, especially at the higher value tables. Not an easy money site.
VC Poker will help you build that bankroll as a new player with a 200% first deposit match to $500 More info & BONUS CODES below. There are also regular promotions, competitions and re-up bonuses available for existing players. New players can play in the New Player Leaderboards plus the 10 Cent SNG Giveaways, for their first 3 months on joining. 2 great ways to build that bankroll without a cash outlay.
There are Free phone numbers for UK and Canadian players plus a non-toll free 'rest of world' number (see top left of this page). Email and Floor Manager Chat facilities work well... If you're new to the game, VC Poker does provide a useful game-related information, including an online Poker School & a simple tournament guide. There are “play money” tables where you can play for free & of course there's no charge for downloading the VC Poker software.

1. The new game features like improved hand histories
2. Good promotions and tournament options, etc. There is always something happening at VC
Poker and player numbers are good.
3. The interactive Flash game tutorials...good for a quick overview if you're new to online poker
or want to try a new game.
4. Side games of Blackjack & Roulette for when the table action's a bit slow or you want to pace
yourself & resist making stupid calls!
1. More of a taste preference than a fault - VCPoker is part of a massive, high action 24x7 poker
network and lacks a bit of the personal, boutique feel of some of the smaller poker rooms.
