Mansion Poker Review

Overall Review
If Gibraltar is the rock of financial institutions, then perhaps Mansion Poker is the rock for online poker play. Mansion Poker is located within Gibraltar, where many financial institutions do a thriving business. And one reason Mansion Poker also thrives within the online poker world is that it tries to serve online poker aficionados from all walks of life.

Since being established in 2004, Mansion Poker has been licensed to offer online poker games by the Government of Gibraltar. Gibraltar is known for supporting e-gaming by maintaining a comprehensive probity process and rigid regulatory requirements under First World Conditions. Gibraltar upholds such high standards that the UK considers Gibraltar as one of the key offshore locations that are now part of its White List of sanctioned e-gaming jurisdictions – that is why Gibraltar can promote e-gaming in the UK as well.

Mansion Poker also believes in keeping a good relationship with the media, so journalists are encouraged to stay in touch with Mansion Poker at the email address provided at its website for any queries, updates, or problems they take issue with.

In addition, online poker players can rely on Mansion Poker to safeguard your individual privacy. That is part of the policy of Mansion Poker, meaning your personal data will stay private and within the confines of Mansion Poker’s jurisdiction unless mandated by law or a court order to do otherwise. Mansion Poker also rigidly controls who can view and access your personal private data from within the Mansion Poker hierarchy and system.

All this means Mansion Poker will be standing behind you in your search for the best online poker experience.

So have a pleasant journey into online poker play from this point onwards.

The Mansion Poker system is like a well-oiled machine that offers superlative game opportunities to those who appreciate the value of a good game of online poker. Although US based players are no longer allowed to participate here, other players in other locations can easily take advantage of the convenience and less hassle that the Mansion Poker system can offer to them.

Graphics and Software
There are several types of data required to be able to create your Mansion Poker online poker account. You need to provide a username that no one else is using within Mansion Poker, a password that has at least eight characters that do combine numbers and letters (but has at least two numbers in it), a nickname by which you will be addressed during poker play, a valid email address that will receive messages sent by Mansion Poker to you regarding your status in their player list, and the type of currency that you will be paying with into your Mansion Poker account.

Unfortunately, US based players are now barred from using the Mansion Poker system either to make deposits, or to place bets or wagers, or do online poker at any point in this time. Mansion Poker also reserves the right to bar entry to any people less than 18 years of age.

Ongame, a top e-gaming software provider, is responsible for developing the Mansion Poker website online poker solutions and products. Just try visiting Mansion Poker once and you can see that its graphics were made to excellent standards and are of the best quality. This is because nothing is more irritating than sub-standard graphics for your computerized entertainment options.

Traffic
One way Mansion Poker raises player interest is to offer variations on gaming speed that dictate how fast game play will proceed for your table.

The Normal game speed is equivalent to that at standard tables.

The Adaptive game speed is influenced by how players have done game play in the past.

The Turbo game speed makes game play go very, very fast indeed. Players who want an additional complication may enjoy this challenging rate of game speed.

Tournaments
It should be clarified that the buy-in fee you pay before being accepted into the tournament will form part of the prize or “pot” that all players will be competing for. Thus, many participants may pay for the hefty prize at the major tournaments, aside from Mansion Poker using other sources of funds to contribute to the size of the pot.

You will also be charged a fixed entry tournament fee too, to get a prescribed number of play chips with which to do poker game play. The chips have no value outside that poker tournament. The game ends when one player has won all the chips for that play.

Cash Games
Online poker wagers can be accepted using the following currencies: South African rand, Singapore dollars, the Swedish kronor, New Zealand dollars, Norwegian kroner, Japanese yen, Hong Kong dollars, Danish kroner, Swiss francs, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, US dollars (though US-based players are barred from game play), euro, and UK pound sterling.

At Mansion Poker, you can play at the unrestricted tables or the private tables. An unrestricted poker table plays like a regular table but has been created by a Mansion Poker player. The private poker table can only admit players who are found acceptable participants by the table owner.

Support
Customer service support is provided by the Member Service system of Mansion Poker. You can use the email address provided to contact the Member Service representatives at any time round-the-clock, throughout the year. The Mansion Poker Member Service never goes on vacation. You can also call by phone, fax them, or simply mail your concerns to Mansion Poker.

Deposit and Withdrawl Options
You may deposit into your Mansion Poker account using Ukash, NETELLER, debit cards, credit cards, Moneybookers, InstaDebit, EntroPay, EcoCard, Cheque, International Money Order, or bank transfer. You will have to check if your preferred deposit payment option will charge you per transaction or use of their service though.

Withdrawal from your Mansion Poker account is permitted if you use these systems: bank transfer, InstaDebit, EcoCard, Moneybookers, NETeller, Delta, Electron, Solo, Maestro, or Visa. A security check precedes each withdrawal effort to make sure the right person is withdrawing funds from the correct account. Each type of withdrawal system used has its own processing times that will dictate how long you have to wait until your money arrives.
