Objective Review Of Mansion Poker At Their New Home – The OnGame Network

By The Poker Dog

Mansion Poker were established in 2006 and quickly became a popular site for both new and experienced poker players alike – due to a combination of generous bonuses, guaranteed tournaments and soft opposition. In the fall of 2007 Mansion joined a network of sites which pool together their players known as the ‘OnGame’ network – leading to a dramatic increase in the number of tables available. The good news is that the bonuses and promotions have continued, giving players at Mansion the best of both worlds!

Mansion Poker Bonus + Other Promotions

The initial Mansion Poker sign-up bonus is a generous 100% to $500 on your initial deposit (use bonus code SNGPLANET for the maximum available amount). This is released in $10 increments each time you collect 80 ‘My Player Points’ (MPPs). 5 are awarded for each $1 in tournament / SNG fees meaning that this is a healthy 62.5% rebate on your fees while clearing the Mansion Poker sign-up bonus.

Promotions are the lifeblood of Mansion Poker players – these come regularly and in many varieties. Notable regular promos include Freerolls (up to $15,000 prize pools), a VIP loyalty club with shop and up to 20% in bonuses each month, guaranteed tournaments (many with overlays) and innovative features such as the ability to create your own tournaments. These are on top of the one off special bonuses and promotions which Mansion regularly offer – check out their website for the latest on these.

Mansion Poker Cash Game Selection

The move to the OnGame network has seen a large increase in the number of cash game tables, betting limits and game types available at this formerly tournament-focused site. There is a table size to suit everyone including 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 player games. The betting limits start with 5c / 10c blinds and go right up to $50 / $100 – there are tables available at all limits, though $2 / $4 and below are the busiest. Pot-Limit Holdem tables feature equal blinds rather than a small blind / big blind distinction. Fixed limit games start the betting at 15c / 30c and go up to a massive $500 / $1000, again the low to mid-limits are busy here.

Other games available in cash format include Omaha High (pot-limit and fixed limit), Omaha Hi-lo (pot, fixed and no-limit formats), Fixed Limit 7-Card Stud and Stud 8-or better, and most recently fixed and pot-limit 5 card draw poker.

Mansion Poker Tournament Selection

The key word to describe the tournament schedule at Mansion Poker is ‘Guaranteed’. Many of the tournaments scheduled will specify a prize pool regardless of the number of participants and fees collected. These range from $1000 guarantees for the smaller buy-in events ($1 and up) up to $150,000 guarantees for the larger showcase tournaments. Many of these have ‘overlays’ – meaning the prize pool is greater than the sum of buy-ins collected.

While no-limit Holdem tournaments in the various formats are the most popular, many other game types can be found in MTT format including Omaha, Stud and even Chinese Poker! Rebuy, turbo blinds and ‘mad tilt all in’ super-turbo tournaments can also be found. For those players with limited bankrolls there are also satellite qualifiers available to the larger buy-in tournaments in both SNG and MTT format.

Mansion Poker SNG Tournament Selection

Sit N Go Tournaments at Mansion Poker are covered in a separate (and detailed) SNG Planet article: Mansion Poker SNGs Review will give SNG players all the details they need to know.

Mansion Poker Software Review

The OnGame software has a reputation for being fast and easy to navigate. The lobby is divided between cash games and tournaments with sub-headings to drill down to your preferred game types and buy-in levels. The tables have clear and attractive graphics and many features including the percentage chance of winning for any all-in hands.

Mansion Poker Deposit Methods

Visa cards are by far the most simple way to get money into and out of Mansion, though there are a large range of other options available featuring electronic wallets and direct from your bank methods too. The full list of Mansion poker deposit options is:  Bank Wire, Cheque / Money Order, Moneybookers, Delta, ECO, Insta-Debit, Maestro, Mastercard, Solo, UKash, Visa and Visa Electron.

Mansion Poker – Summary And Final Thoughts

The combination is right at Mansion Poker, we believe that this site (and the Ongame Network in general) could prove to be one of the big success stories of 2008 and beyond. The game selection and traffic is high enough to make finding a table to suit your style and buy-in level easy, the software is excellent and on top of this the bonuses and promotions are 1st class – including the generous $500 sign-up bonus with bonus code SNGPLANET. This site is certainly worth checking out today!
