Network: OnGame Network
Although a relatively new website (online since 2006), Red Kings has a substantial reputation in the online poker scene. Red Kings is part of the OnGame Network. It is being supported by a solid software-platform and is backed up by a significantly potent network with a lot of player traffic.
Sign-Up Bonus
You get up to $1.000 bonus for your first initial deposit. You have 60 days from the time you register to collect the required number of player points. You need 8 points per $1 dollar. For example, you need 800 points for a $100 bonus. As soon as you have collected the required number of player points the bonus will be accredited to your Red Kings account in full. It is a ONE-TIME bonus that you exclusively get with your FIRST deposit. Please note that no prior collected points can be used in order to speed up the bonus payout. Only points collected after the first deposit are allowed.
Player traffic
Due to being a part of the Ongame Network, Red Kings is one of the most frequented visited poker rooms. Traffic spreads evenly between the ring games and tournaments alike. Most players prefer low and medium limits. There is hardly any high-stake participants playing. Texas Hold'em Limit and No Limit are most popular. The group of Omaha players is pretty small but growing.
Limits and Rake
Limits are from $0.15/$0.30 to $50/$100 at no limit tables and from $0.25/$0.50 to $500/$1000 at limited tables. There are tables for 10, Shot Hand tables, and Heads Up tables. The rake is depending on the type of game, number of participating players and chosen limits. In average the rake is about 5% and is capped at $3.

Red Kings rewords its players for participation in real money poker games as well as for casino games. Player points are awarded for all hands that have achieved a minimum rake of $0.10.

VIP Program
The player points can be redeemed for tournament tickets. Unfortunately, there’s no chance to change the hard-earned player points into cash with Red Kings.
Software
Some strong points of the RedKings software are: Mac and Linux support, progressive statistics functions, marking players by colors, All-In % display for tournaments, control keys, optional full screen display, and “Pot Size Bet Button” and multi-tabling support. The only weak point may be: the software is quite resource-intensive. Java-Client only supports 4 open tables. The table’s layout cannot be adapted by skins.
Customer support
Red Kings emphasizes the quality of support. The 24/7 support can be reached by thone, fax and e-mail. A useful live chat function is also available.
