Poker4Ever Overview
Poker4Ever is a relatively new site licensed in Malta using software from Red Planet Gaming and part of the small Everleaf network. The site is translated into English, Spanish, German and Italian, with Dutch also available for the software.
Although it is licensed in Malta, Poker4Ever accepts players from the US, besides European customers and those from the rest of the world. The only country banned from using Poker4Ever is Malta.
Traffic is quite low - as low as 600 players and up to 1200 on peak times, but the nice software gives this site potential for growth.
Poker4Ever Game Features
Poker4Ever offers only the indispensable poker varieties: Hold’em, Omaha Hi and Hi/Lo and 7-card Stud.
Ring games are sorted by game and limit, and stakes range between $0.10/$0.20 and $50/$100, with the majority of the tables being under $5. Ring games come in two sizes: a 6-seat short handed and a 10-seat full handed table.
Sit & Gos are only available in Limit and No Limit Hold’em, for 2, 6 and 10 players. Buy ins start at $0.10 and go up to $400, but the majority of Sit & Gos can be played for $10 or less.
Poker4Ever has tourneys organized by buy-in: there is a tab for Regular, one for Freerolls and one for Private, plus a separate one for Satellites. Most tourneys are Hold’em, but there are a few Omaha tourneys which see some action too. Buy-ins are mostly low, starting at $0.10 and staying mainly under $5. There are some tourneys for $10 and $20, and one for a whopping $1500 for a WSOP Main Event seat.
Poker4Ever Software Features
Poker4Ever’s software in indeed unique and it has quite a few features we have not seen elsewhere.
The lobby is understated and well organized with a system of top and side tabs. There is a summarized “Options” section which can be expanded to see all the customization options, which include a host of photo realistic avatars, dealer speech, 3 deck types in 10 color options and even customizable chips.
The quality of graphics at the tables is outstanding, down to the leather textures on seats and the table. A fun option is called “Choose/Dismiss your dealer”: if you don’t like your dealer you can click on him or her and they will be replaced by a different one. Another cool feature is the table rotation: right-click on your favorite position and choose “move here” and the entire table will rotate with you. This is especially useful when multi-tabling.
Poker4Ever’s software also features hand histories (which can be saved in your computer), player notes, a buddy list, and a “folded hand replay” option which allows you to see your folded hand all the way into the river.
Poker4Ever Support
Poker4Ever offers excellent live chat support, which can also be requested in German, Italian, Spanish and Romanian, although they do not guarantee languages other than English will be available at any given time. Responses were quick, knowledgeable and polite, and the chat had the extra feature of offering to email a transcript of the conversation. Email responses take about one hour and are of high quality and readability.
