Poker Works has one of the most comprehensive room review sections out of all the portals, with 30 rooms covered, with an impressive amount of detail. There are lots of other neat features, like the sign-up bonus calculator, and free entry into specially organised tournaments.

There isn't too much live action to be had, but on the home page there is a tournaments section with details of upcoming events, and links to the latest forum posts. But the best part is the sign-up bonus calculator, which allows you to enter the amount you intend to deposit, and then directs you to the best current offer.

Comprehensive details about the tournaments available online can be found in the individual room reviews, but there is no way to see this information summarised and compared. Like some of the other bigger sites, PokerWorks offers specially organised tournaments and free rolls, affiliated with a poker room, just to PokerWorks subscribers. What is great is that the buy-in is free, and prize money goes up to $1000.

There are loads of bonus codes available for most of the big poker portals operators, and the terms and conditions of each are clearly set out. Plus, there is the bonus calculator on the home page, which is a great feature.

Though the reviews don't include grades for individual aspects of the room, and there doesn't appear to be any stats, they are still thorough and comprehensive, and it is evident that the editor has spent time on the site in question. PokerWorks is impartial and geared towards informative content rather than promotional.
