Current Bonus Code - WELCOME
For a limited time, there is a $100 Welcome Bonus to new players when they open an account. Simply download the software, register and enter the bonus code WELCOME. Then, once you make a deposit and play poker for real money, your bonus is converted to cash based on the number of Summit Points you earn in real money ring games and tournaments. As your bonus is converted to cash (see below), it is added to your account balance. You can withdraw it or use it for more real money play.
If you make a deposit within 1 week of your registration, you will automatically be credited with a Freeroll Token. This token will give you exclusive access to the New Depositors $1000 Cash Freeroll which runs twice per week - Wednesday at 18:00 GMT and Saturday at 14:00 GMT.
Software - good
The software runs smoothly although may have the occasional hic-up during multi-table play. There are hand histories and statistics available from the table and the lobby plus the usual player note taking is also an option. The table sizes are fixed which can be a slight annoyance when playing multi-tables. The graphics are crisp and up to industry standard.
Playability - good
At the table, things can appear a little messy but generally buttons and options are well placed and easy to understand. The cards are a good size and easy to read. The lobby is well designed and very simple to get around.
Traffic - good
There are lots of guaranteed tournaments at all levels which attract a good number of loose aggressive players with a variable standard of game play. The No Limit Hold 'Em cash tables are usually busy at most hours but unfortunately there are no other poker formats such as Omaha, Razz, Stud, etc. available at this time (planned to be added soon). Most of the action will be found at the lower and mid limits.
Support - good
Support is by e-mail only but is available in multiple languages. The response time is usually quick with answer being of good quality. Cashout speed is good with most of the major deposit and withdrawal options available.
Summary - good
Everest Poker is a fast growing site which has gained a strong and loyal player base that actually seems to have benefitted from the US crash. Certainly there is no lack of action at the tables and there are excellent bonuses and promotions on offer throughout the year. Often it is also possible to run more than one bonus at a time. The site seems to attract a lot of loose players and actually ranks consistantly in the top 10 - 15 poker sites (included US friendly) on the net.
This is a user friendly site with good software and a stable backbone within the industry. Well worth a look.

Extra Information :
Players earn up to 3 Summit Points per raked, real money, ring game hand at a rate of 1 Summit Point per $1 collected in rake, including fractional points. (For example, $0.50 rake will award 0.50 Summit Points; $1.75 rake will award 1.75 Summit Points.)
You must receive hole cards in order to be eligible to receive Summit Points for the hand. Players who are "sitting out" do not receive Summit Points.
No Summit Points are awarded for hands which are not raked.
The first and second players seated at a real money ring game table earn double Summit Points, or up to 6 Summit Points per hand, for the duration of their session at the table. Once a player has stood up from a table, he may no longer be eligible for double Summit Points.
Double Summit Points are not applicable at 2-seat, or heads-up, tables.
Real money tournament players receive 8 Summit Points per $1 paid in entry fee with no limit on the number of Summit Points earned per tournament. Fractional Points are rewarded for entry fees less than $1.00.
Summit Points are not earned through participation in freeroll tournaments.
Summit Points expire when a player account is inactive for a period of 12 months. An "active" account is one with which a player plays at least one ring game hand or participates in at least one tournament.
