Everest Poker Software

The software at Everest Poker is designed by Grand Virtual technology.

Player revolves around a very large red poker table with brass trim. Players are represented by avatars which can be replaced by placards. Players have a dozen different table designs to choose from and can choose the resolution and table screen size that suits them. Card backs are white with the green Everest Poker logo. Players have a choice of standard or four color deck options. Buttons for changing options, the statistics screen and hand histories are all available. The note feature has an auto-wrap text feature and players can not only color code their opponents but apply a strength rating to these color codes as well. Players can change their seating arrangement perspective with the touch of the rotate buttons.

The main menu screen is reminiscent of Pacific Poker in its design and simplicity. Everest Poker has a number of filters available to help facilitate table selection, but one missing feature is the ability to separate Limit games from NL or PL games. The buttons lining the bottom direct players to various help features and other menu items like the cashier screen and bonus screens. Everest Poker has a "Find a Seat" function that let's players delineate which types of tables they want to have the software search for them. The Multi-Table Tournaments is a detached screen not built into the software directly.

Overall, Everest Poker's software is easy to use and somewhat versatile.

Everest Poker offers infrequent reload bonuses. However, the reloads they do tend to offer are bonus code oriented flat bonuses requiring no depositing. Players should ensure that they are part of the Everest Poker mailing list as new deposit codes, when they are made available are diseeminated to their players in this fashion.

Tournaments with Overlays

A tournament overlay is the result of guaranteed prize money that is not offset by the participant's buy-ins. As such, all freerolls and FPP freerolls always offer an overlay.

Everest Poker is a top-ten site in regards to traffic and they have a reputation for very lucrative tournaments and guaranteed prizepools. This has a direct effect on severely limiting the number of guaranteed tournaments that will provide it's players with any overlay. Therefore, the only real chance for an overlay at Everest Poker comes in the form of it's freeroll tournaments.

Bullajami Discretionary Poker Room Bonus Rating

Piscivorous Discretionary Poker Room Bonus Rating

Everest Poker has a decent bonus package, but the bonus expires very quickly, so players will really need to spend there poker playing time clearing this bonus. Luckily, their traffic has started to really increase which means more tables to choose from. Everest Poker is very inconsistent with reloads, not having offered on since August, 2006. Players wishing to clear thi sbonsu by playing SnGs or tournaments will find that this bonus clears at about a 56% rakeback. Being American, I haven't had the chance to clear a bonus here, but have to imagine that if allowed to do so, I would definitely play here and complete their bonus. If the UIGEA ban gets lifted and Everest Poker allows American players in the future, I will be an early addition to their playerbase.
