Winamax is a user friendly poker platform that is available in 3 languages: English, French and German. It will be quite easy to find the perfect game for your needs and budget, thanks to the various filters available in the lobby area. The program is also fun and addictive, offering various challenges and missions, and also the possibility to change your avatar.
If you are using statistics tools or an in-game HUD, you have the possibility to save the history of your played hands on your hard drive. You can expand or close the chat box if it annoys you, and you also have lots of betting options.
The Winamax Series tournaments have occasional breaks, which is useful if you are playing on multiple sites at once. One down side of this platform is that it only includes 2 games: No Limit Texas Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha. But if you are specialized in any of these 2 games, then you won’t need anything else.
The site is French, so most of the guests are recreational players from France. It is said that this website has some of the softest competition. So if you are a beginner you can start from here to not get your ass kicked by professionals, and if you are already a good player, you can play here from time to time, just to build your bankroll and then move on to better opponents.
So far there haven’t been any security or ethics concerns about the Winamax Series. An interesting feature is that it asks for your birthday each time you sign in, meaning that if a hacker broke into your account, chances are that he will not be able to play or to withdraw money.
The website only accepts people with a European bank account and they are also famous for a great customer service. They offer support via email and reply in English, French or German.
On Winamax you can deposit via bank transfer, check, credit card, e-wallet or Western Union, while when you want to withdraw money, you can only do that via a bank transfer. Deposits appear almost instantly, and withdrawals are processed very fast as well.
Like most other poker websites, they too are offering a 100% bonus on your first deposit (up to 500 euro), but of course you will have to play a lot in order to benefit from this bonus. They also have various other bonuses as well as a VIP program with status levels.
Starting every Sunday and lasting until Tuesday, Winamax is hosting a 2-day Main Event with a buy-in of 50 euro. And they are also hosting the Winamax Series, which is a large scale event with guaranteed prizes of more than 5 million euro. The main event alone from this series has a guaranteed prize pool of 1 million euro.
Overall Winamax is a great and safe place to play, no matter the level you are at. The software is easy to use and works on any device, while the drawbacks only consist of the limited number of available games and the few withdrawal options.
