The Online Poker Noob

Introduction

WassPoker is part of the Merge Gaming Network and is one of the few poker sites allowing US and Canadian Players.

Upon entering their site, you’ll see that they are different to many of their competitors. As well as offering a broad range of poker games, WassPoker gives you insight into up and coming live poker events, allowing players to both compete and read about their favorite game. It's as much a community as it is an online poker site.

Quick start – get on the game tables you want faster by creating a favorites list. That way when you log on, you can access all your favorite games.

Multiple windows – play as many games as you want at the same time. Test your mind and increase your chances of success.

Player tag – when you spot a player who you think is a bit fishy. Tag them so you’ll recognize them the next time you play.
