Fair Poker is part of the iPoker network along with other rooms like VC Poker using the excellent Playtech software engine. The network is rapidly developing and already has a substantial volume of players, which is a great feat considering it is not open to US players. Fair Poker is yet to make a name for itself in the online poker industry but it is on the right track to do so by offering an excellent poker room to the players.
Fair Poker runs a ‘Rio Jackpot’ with $25,000 up for grabs for any player that is able to win 6 special Rio Sit n Go tournaments in a row. The buy in for each of these tournaments is $20+$3 with a huge jackpot at the end for anyone who is able to nail six in a row. However, there is also a $300 consolation prize for any player that manages to come 1st or 2nd in all six tournaments that they participate in. This is nowhere near the size of the Jackpot, but it is still a handy bonus if you come close to winning to all six but miss out on the odd few. |

You will receive a set amount from each hand you play depending on how much rake is paid in each particular hand. You will also receive 20 coins for every $1 paid in tournament fees. In addition to this promotion, there is also a guaranteed $100,000 tournament every month with a $200+$15 buy. There is also the opportunity for players with smaller bankrolls to satellite into the tournament through one of the two satellites that are run daily. |

| As with other rooms on the iPoker network, Fair Poker receives a very respectable volume of players. These players are varied in ability, with the loose players outweighing the tight and experienced players. This makes Fair Poker a good destination if you are looking to build your bankroll off of some wild and loose play. |
