It’s finally official; PokerRoom.com has reopened for online real money poker playing.  With all of the rumors buzzing around recently, people weren’t sure what the outcome was going to be for the storied online poker room that was among the first to offer a home poker game feature.  Some speculated that it was only a publicity move to bring attention to the OnGame Network, while others were sure that PokerRoom was making a comeback for itself.

PokerRoom is one of the oldest online poker sites around.  Originally opening in 1999, they were one of the first to offer real money online poker playing.  PokerRoom was around before other big names like PokerStars and PokerParty.  Becoming one of the largest poker playing sites online, when the UIGA became enforced, PokerRoom voluntarily withdrew from the United States.  This, of course, hit PokerRoom hard financially, and it eventually caused them to close their doors a few years later.

When the rumors started buzzing about this online poker playing site coming back, poker players everywhere began to get excited.  Old and new players alike are aware of PokerRoom’s outstanding reputation, making everyone happy that it is back.

The return of PokerRoom has old players as well as new players ready to start playing once again.  Since there is so much that takes place in the poker scene, having a familiar place to play at is a comfort to many online poker players. Players have a choice of games to play from Texas Hold’em to Stud and even Omaha poker.  The home poker game feature also allows players to setup private games among just themselves and invited guests.

The new PokerRoom website is offering sign up bonuses as well as a VIP Loyalty Program.  All of this plus their new software and brand new player community makes everyone anxious to start playing at PokerRoom once again.  The timing couldn’t be more impeccable, since PokerStars is having impending trouble right now; many poker players are looking for a place to hang their hat.  PokerRoom will definitely benefit in the long run.
