SiamPoker

SiamPoker is the Thai skin of the Asian market’s largest network, IDNPoker. Although games are running 24/7 at all stakes with one of the softest player pools in today’s online poker, the poker room is not frequently highlighted in global poker media outlets.

This is because SiamPoker and its network IDNPoker decided to remain 100% Asian, so their development does not reach the headlines of overseas news portals.

Our team of professional poker players and journalists has spent countless hours discovering this little-known gem of the Asian online poker scene, so you can get to know everything about SiamPoker in one place.

In this honest, no-nonsense review, you will learn about SiamPoker’s traffic & game selection, rakeback system, rake structure, software, payment options, and reliability.

Promotions

The only regular promotion on the platform is the First Deposit Bonus. All new players are eligible for this welcome bonus by choosing which type they want to apply for.

There are three options available with different percentages and wagering times. They must be cleared through the wager (turnover), meaning that you have to bet the deposit amount this many times at the tables.

Rakeback Deal

The poker room does not currently offer a rakeback deal, but new players registering via SOMUCHPOKER can get a top rakeback deal. For further information, please contact us at [email protected].

Rake Structure

SiamPoker’s rake structure is not on the low side, but the soft player pool definitely compensates for this. All cash games have a 3% commission without cap, using a weight-contributed system, so SiamPoker is more suitable for playing low-stakes games.

SiamPoker traffic & game selection

There are usually around 4-5,000 players online on SiamPoker. The best time to play is from 17:00 to 23:00 GMT+8.

The site offers mainly No-Limit Texas Hold’em (NLH), Omaha (PLO) cash games at all stakes up to $3,000. Most games are 6-max or 9-max (full-ring), and there are MTTs held regularly too.

The poker room has a wide selection of special card games popular exclusively in the Asian region, including Super10, Capsa, Domino Bet, Ceme, Superbull, and Capsa Susun.

Aside from card games, casino games are also available, and players can bet on Thai cockfighting matches too.

Perhaps the most important feature of the poker room is the fishiness of its player pool, with many gamblers from Thailand, China, Malaysia, and Indonesia, who see poker as a casino game and jump into the action in their free time on their smartphones, in many cases buying in with short stacks of 20bb.

The SiamPoker ecosystem definitely favors casual players, not allowing:

• multi-tabling
• trackers/HUDs
• auto-seating scripts
• data mining
• bots
• collusion
• chip dumping

Keep in mind that all third-party softwares are banned and your funds will be confiscated if you get caught using them.

Reliability & Trustworthiness

SiamPoker holds a 1st Cagayan license, and player don’t need identity verification (KYC) for playing.

Anonymity comes with a downside though, as the have been complaints about superusers in the past, but the security team is actively fighting them. The field is clean up to NL100.

In terms of reliability, the platform’s level of risk is a bit higher than those of larger poker rooms, but the soft player pool makes the risk worth it.

SiamPoker Software

The client feels a bit outdated, with bright colors appealing to Asian players. The desktop application is HTML5-based and not very advanced.

The lobby has a simple design with no filters or waiting lists, but you can hide full tables, which comes in handy on a site with such large traffic. You can also preview tables before joining, except for VIP tables if you don’t have enough balance.

While there is a hand history button at each game, and everything is translated to English, the user interface is not the best, and you need a powerful PC to run the client without lags.

Mobile app

SiamPoker is available in the Google Play store for Android and in the App Store for iPhone’s iOS operating system too.

The Android client is just a copy of the desktop version, but the iOS version performs much better.

Payment Methods

Asian players have various options to deposit and withdraw from SiamPoker, including:

• cash deposit
• online banking
• Mayank
• CIMB
• Hong Leong Bank
• RHB Bank

Overseas players need to use the service of agents, and can transfer funds in Bitcoin or USDT without any fees.

Customer service

The poker room’s customer service is fast and attentive, but even though they claim to be available 24/7, it might be better if you contact them during Asian business hours.

Customer service is available via live chat, WhatsApp, and the popular Asian messaging service WeChat.

Conclusion

We recommend SiamPoker to anyone who appreciates anonymity and is not afraid to play on riskier sites. Despite the high rake, low to mid-stakes cash game players will not be disappointed, because the amount of limps and all-ins without any outs is nothing we have ever seen on other poker sites.
