Aced Poker Review

Aced Poker Summary

Aced is one of the newer kids on the poker block, and have quickly made a name for themselves, most recently landing Word Series of Poker money leader Jamie Gold. Aced uses the same poker software as found at Carbon Poker, and it’s an excellent package. With a rising number of tournaments, and excellent promotions, Aced is an exciting place to play, and a definite threat for continued growth in the future.

Aced Poker Bonus

The Aced Poker initial deposit bonus is a 100% match bonus up to $500. The bonus is paid out in small $5 increments, making it very easy to earn at least most of it, if not all. You have 2 months to earn the bonus, with 250 points unlocking $1 of it.

Aced Poker Promotions

One final promotion Aced offers, and their most unique one at that, is called Outs. Outs are different tasks you need to achieve playing real money hands to earn extra points. If you’re thinking along the lines of Xbox achievements, you’re not far off. This is a great addition to the site, and something that could inspire players to play more often as a result. Example outs include hitting a four of a kind with aces, playing in your 100th hand, and placing a $1,000 bet. You can even use their search function to check in on any other player’s Outs and see which ones they’ve unlocked.

Aced Poker Banking Options

Aced uses the same deposit and withdrawal options found at most sites, including credit cards, Moneybookers, Click2Pay, ClickandBuy, Entropay, and Neteller. For U.S residents, the options are limited to credit cards and wire transfers. Anyone requesting a withdrawal should be prepared to provide their personal information to Aced so that they can verify your account. This will include a driver’s licence or passport, as well as a copy of the credit or debit card used to fund your account.

Aced Poker Rewards Program

The Aced rewards program is a tiered system with 3 main levels, requiring the collection of points to move up in rank. By the third level, players are invited to massive monthly freerolls, get discounts on purchases through the aced store, can create their own tournaments, and more. There’s also a fourth level with no points requirement, for the top players (whether this means the best players in terms of results, or simply the ones who spend the most is uncertain). Besides attaining the new levels, it’s unclear what else the points can be used for at present. Aced likely has plans for several features to utilize these points in the future, but as of right now, there’s nothing to do with them.

Aced Poker Games

There’s also a handy little sidebar gadget for Vista users that can be incorporated into their Windows Sidebar program, showing when Jamie Gold is online, the total number of players online, the next tournament running, and the bad beat jackpot. Another nice touch of innovation from Aced.
The Aced software is one of my favourites in the industry, powered by what is called vector graphics, which give the game great clarity at any window size. The software looks great in fullscreen mode, which can’t be said for some other poker rooms. The layout is clean and functional, and the software provides all the options you need to have a fully immersive experience.

Aced not only has a good selection of poker games, but even side games to keep you occupied during tournament downtimes. These include roulette, stud, backgammon, and video poker. All the main poker variants are here, including Hold’em, Draw, Stud, and Omaha. No limit Hold’em stakes currently range from $0.02/$0.04 to $25/50, a good range given the mid level of traffic on the site. Player quality is also middle of the pack, with plenty of loose players, but some decent tighter players at lower stakes games as well. Most games receive decent action at the lowest stakes levels, but only Omaha and Hold’em have consistent action at the middle and upper stakes ranges.
