Established in 2006, PlayersOnly Poker joined an already expanding group of poker sites that not only accept US players, but also US credit cards. Their room offers loose and juicy games, with the majority of players coming from the sportsbook and casinos, being new and easy to beat players. The games available are Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud and Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo. The games vary between No-Limit, Pot-Limit and Fixed-Limit, with full-table games, short-handed and heads-up tables.

Description
PlayersOnly Poker hosts numerous tournaments in both Omaha and Texas Hold’em. While still fairly new the site is growing rapidly and making lots of head way. Typical WSOP freerolls and decent sign-up bonuses are also available to players. They offer a huge 100% up to $500 sign-up bonus that is deducted from players MGR at a rate of 33%, so players can also get a rakeback on top of the bonus. In addition, they offer standard reload bonuses every month, so players can keep their bonus account topped up. PlayersOnly Poker uses the 'dealt' rakeback method so players receive credit towards their MGR whether or not they actually play their hand.
Software and Graphics
PlayersOnly has a terrific software and graphics package. While it includes all of the expected bells and whistles, it has managed to maintain its ease of use and speed. The software really focuses on the player with priority given to more great support features. It provides players with the table stats and multi-table capabilities to play over 10 tables simultaneously.
Tournament Traffic
As of July 2008, real-money player statistics indicated 1,700 ring-game players and 6,000 tournament players during peak hours. While PlayersOnly Poker offers loose and juicy games in all limits, the majority are in the lower range.

Players can qualify for the monthly freerolls by using Gold Chips to enter into the satellites.
