Purple Lounge is a member of the Microgaming universe so right off the bat players can expect clean decks, private cards and honest payouts. Purple Lounge offers a plethora of games such as Hold’em, Omaha and most other types of poker. Stakes range from $.02/$.05 USD all the way up to $200/$400 USD.
Customer Service is email driven, with most responses taking at least an hour. As one would expect, Purple Lounge is purple. The tables are purple, the backdrops are purple, even the font is occasionally purple. In spite of the theme, the graphics remain very clean and pleasing to play upon.
A fun non-gaming feature is the Lounge itself. It contains forums, news, links, strategies and searches for other players. Since it came online in 2005, Purple Lounge has been one of the fastest growing sites and is certainly worth registering on if you have not yet checked it out.
Even though the Microgaming Network does not allow U.S. players, poker rooms such as Purple Lounge and BetOnBet are recuperating fast due to a high influx of European players.
Purple Lounge VIP Points for Cash!
You can now redeem your Purple Lounge VIP Points for cash at a rate of 1 point to $0.30! Set up a Purple Lounge account via RakeBreak’s links, play poker and start earning VIP Points.
Here’s how it works:
1 VIP point = $0.30
So, for every 1 VIP point you will get 30 cents, which will be credited to your account twice a month the 4th and the 19th by Purple Lounge!
VIP points = number of contributed raked hands played x your average rake (VERY SIMILAR TO $1 of RAKE)
If for example you play (contribute to the pot) 10,000 hands and your average rake is $0.20, then you would get (0.2 x 10,000) 2,000 VIP points. You can then cash in your VIP Points at $0.30 per point; in this example $600.
Players can see their VIP points in their accounts:
