Our Philosophy
If you have ever searched for online poker room reviews before, chances are the majority of the websites that you came across looked exactly the same. Almost every online poker room review website follows the same pattern: a list of basic features, a rating (which doesn’t actually have any real meaning) of four or five stars and an insincere review. On top of that, every online poker review website that you visit only talks about the same ten or fifteen online poker rooms.
As you probably already figured out, these websites could care less about helping you to find the best online poker room for you needs. Instead, all these websites are interested in doing is making money. They are known as “affiliate websites,” and instead of actually being a useful resource, they simply contain short reviews that were written by people who don’t even play online poker. Because they make money off of every online poker website that you sign up with through their website, they want you to join as many as possible, which is why they give all of the websites a somewhat positive review.
At Award Winning Poker, we handle things much differently. Instead of telling you what online poker rooms we think you should join, we let other real customers tell you exactly what they think about different online poker rooms. So, instead of being a one way channel of information, Award Winning Poker is a place where real people can have honest conversations about their experiences with online poker rooms.
Online Poker Rooms Get Ranked by the Customers
When you visit other online poker review websites, you may notice that their Top Ten lists aren’t actually in order of the rating that the websites received. The reason for this is that most of those websites list the online poker rooms in the order of which companies are paying the most for referrals. Since they assume that you will pick one of the online poker rooms at the top of the list, they place the ones that will make them the most money at the top of their list.
Because we care about you finding a great online poker room, our list is ordered by the ratings that are left by our visitors. And to avoid anyone trying to cheat our system, we use a special system that assigns review weight based on trust, so you can always count on the ratings to be honest and accurate.
We Don’t Accept Advertising
To keep things honest and fair, we simply don’t accept advertising. Also, regardless of how much someone offers us, we don’t write fake positive reviews or take down negative reviews.
While we do add referral IDs to the online poker rooms that offer a referral program, we allow you to submit reviews of any online poker room that you have played in, regardless of whether or not they have a referral program.
We Need Your Help
Since we are committed to helping our visitors, our budget isn’t as big as other money centered online poker review websites. So, if you find our website to be helpful, please spread the word by blogging about us or telling your friends on Facebook and MySpace. Thanks for your support!
