The site is part of the 888 network which plays host to many of the more popular online poker sites in the industry. Unfortunately, this network does not allow U.S. Players to play on its sites. Because of this one stipulation, the sites that are a part of the 888 network usually do not have large player bases independently. In order to survive therefore, the sites share each others player bases. Lucky Ace therefore is a growing site as more and more players join in on the 888 network. Lucky Ace uses great software that provides its players with a fun, smooth gaming session every time they sit down at the virtual tables.
While the site isn't so big, many of the top internet poker players do not make there way over to this site. Although many potential players might see this as a bad thing, the truth is that this site is host to a huge amount of terrible players. The money on the site will be easy to win for any semi-serious poker player. In terms of cash games, the site offers the basic No Limit Hold Em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven Card Stud and Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo. The tournaments never get too big in terms of guaranteed prize pools, but each Sunday players can find some pretty big tournaments.
Features
Due to the size of the site, Lucky Ace cannot afford some of the bigger
promotions that other sites can give to their players. The main features are
geared towards players who are deciding whether or not they should sign up with
Lucky Ace. In an attempt to entice its potential players, Lucky Ace will give
every first time real money depositor a free entry ticket into a $500 freeroll.
This can mean that a player can earn an extra $100 or so if they manage to win
the freeroll. As well, first time real money depositors will receives a free
poker odds calculator as a gift from Lucky Ace poker. In addition, the site is
available in a total of 9 languages and there are multiple ways to both deposit
money and withdraw money from the site. The site also has a loyalty program for
all of its long time users, where frequent play means more money for the
players. As well, there is a $2k Casino Mix-Up event every week, which is a
player favorite.
Sign Up Bonus
The site will also double the first time real money deposit of every player up
to a maximum amount of $400. That means that if a player puts $400 onto Lucky
Ace poker, it is really equivalent to putting on $800, as long as they clear the
bonus. In order to clear the bonus, players must accrue points in the given time
frame of the bonus. The bonus is then released to the player in $10 portions
until the whole bonus has been cleared. Since earning points on the site is
fairly easy, players usually earn all $400. On the negative side of the bonus
package, Lucky Ace does not allow its players to get rakeback, neither from the
site directly nor from any 3rd party site such as pocketfives.com or 2+2.
Hopefully players will think about all the positives about the package, as well
as the great potential in their loyalty program to earn lots of extra money.
Tournaments
This aspect of the site is weak due to how small the player base is. Since there
are not so many players on the site, and therefore not much money, Lucky Ace
cannot guarantee the big prize pool tournaments that other sites, like Full
Tilt, Ultimate Bet and Poker Stars, can guarantee its players. Nonetheless, any
intermediate to novice player will find a decent variety of poker tournaments to
choose form. On a daily basis, the biggest tournament has a guaranteed prize
pool of $20,000. The buy in is not big and the player who wins this tournament
will increase his bankroll by at least 4 thousand dollars.
The action really spices up on Sundays, where Lucky Ace launches its largest poker tournament of the week which has a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000. Winners of this tournament could win about $20k for first place. To make things better, the competition is extremely weak, so a player does not have to be an expert to dominate over the tournament fields.
Traffic
Independently the site has about 10k players playing on its tables during the
busiest times. 8K of the 10k total players are involved in tournaments with the
remaining 2k players playing on the cash game tables.
Software
Lucky Ace hits big in this department. The graphics are very visually appealing,
which is a good tactic to lure new players. When players are sitting, they
experience very few gaming interruptions and finding their way through the site
is easy. As well, players can play up to 8 tables at once.
Support
Every form of support is available to the players except for faxing. That means
players can chat with support live over the computer, over the phone or via
email. Problems never last long and support is very friendly.
