OVERALL RATING -- 6.9 out of 10

Kiwi Poker is the only online casino that offers you the reassurance of a reputable land-based casino company. Kiwi Casino is an independent offshore operation forming part of Australia's very finest land-based casino group - Christchurch Casinos, based in Christchurch - New Zealand .I have just recently started playing there and find that it is just as good as all other iPoker backend poker rooms.

SOFTWARE -- 7 out of 10

Like other iPoker rooms- Kiwi Casino poker room is neat and tidy, easy to navigate and games are easy to find. The background at the tables , which I have yet to find the option to change is a bit of an eyesore, unless you like green ... a lot! Other than that a very easy site to use. The one very nice option here is that Kiwi's software supports 8 simultaneous tables! Some of the nice features of their software include a warning when you make a large bet, just in case you hit the all-in button accidentally. Also your personal stats can be viewed at any table, including your flop, turn, raise fold and other percentages.

BONUSES -- 5 out of 10

Once you've made your first deposit at Kiwi Casino Poker, you'll be entered into the $100 Welcome Freeroll Tournament. $100 is guaranteed in cash prizes to players competing in this exciting competition, which is open to all new depositors that week at no cost, and with absolutely no room fees!

PROMOTIONS -- 8 out of 10

In addition to offering 100% up to $500 on your first deposit, Kiwi Casino Poker now also offer 50% up to $200 on all other deposits. Kiwi also offers refer a friend and Bad Beat Bonuses. They are currently also offering a trip to New Zealand to play in a satellite game for a WSOP seat. KiwiPokerCasino offers $25 for the funniest nickname of the week.

PLAYERS -- 6 out of 10

I have not played to many ring games at Kiwi but the players I have faced in the ring games seem to be relatively average. As I continue to play at Kiwi I will update this area with my findings on the ring game players.

GAMES VARIETY -- 8 out of 10

Kiwi Casino poker, at this writing only offers Texas Hold'em and Omaha High. The Omaha and Holdem games are available in limit, pot-limit, and no-limit. Table stakes vary from $0.02/$0.04 to $50/$100 in the fixed games, and $0.01/$0.02 up to $10/$20 in no-limit versions. There are also heads-up tables, and 6 and 10 handed tables. Kiwi also offers the Dirty Dozen sit-n-go games and New Zealand Poker champ games.

SITE TRAFFIC -- 4 out of 10

Kiwi averages about 2000 players online and site traffic, of course goes up when freerolls are offered and when satellite and other special tournaments are running.

RING GAME AND TOURNAMENT TRAFFIC - 6 out of 10

Being part of the iPoker network, you can usually see about 2000 players at peak hours at their ring tables. One of the best features for bringing traffic to this site are the Jackpot Sit-n-go tournaments that are extremely popular. At peak hours, and normally during low dollar buy-in and freeroll games, you can expect to see about 5000 tournament players at Kiwi.

SUPPORT -- 7 out of 10

Kiwi Casino Poker's experienced support team operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and are available by email, fax and through Chat in the poker software itself. I suggest that phone support is your best bet here though. And of course the only experience I have with the support department was a server crashing in the middle of a sit-n-go game in which I was the chip leader. The phone was promptly answered but the support person was not able to tell me what was going on and just told me to reboot my computer. After waiting a few hours and logging back in, I noticed that my tournament fees for that game had been given back to me.

SITE SECURITY -- PERFECT SCORE!

Since a land based backs Kiwi Casino casino you can rest assured that the security on this site is top-notch.

BANKING -- 8 out of 10

Kiwi Casino poker has by far the best banking options I've seen at any online poker room. You have 19, yes 19, different banking choices which include Credit Card, Bank Draft, Central Coin, Citadel, Neteller, InstaCash, Moneybookers, FirePay, EcoCard, wire transfers, eWalletExpress, just to name a few. I think the only option they forgot was cash in an envelope, oh yeah, and Western Union.
