Getting your piece of the cake

After a week of speculation it turns out that the new home for online poker sites Straightflush.com and BetUS.com is the Cake Network...and US pokerheads will be pleased to find out that this operation welcomes American players.

Players can get up to 33 percent rakeback on the Cake/Sportsbook.com Network, which will undoubtedly experience in boost in membership and action as a result of the new additions.

Concurrent with the change, StraightFlush Poker is looking for affiliates for its new marketing program, which features some very generous signup bonusing for new players.

Cake Poker entered the world of online poker in 2005 and has had a mediocre growth pattern thus far, with traffic reportedly on the low side, but the positive development of quality tournaments will bring about improvement. The software at Cake Poker has received praise from many players as presenting realistic graphics, avatars and smooth play characteristics. Table features include the usual facilities, such as player notes and visual customisations.

On the games side, Cake Poker offers the typical line-up of poker games that includes Texas Hold'em with No Limit, Pot Limit and Fixed Limit. Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo is available.
