General
Mermaid Poker is owned by 262 Danish poker players who had the purpose to build a poker site designed by poker players for poker players. Because of this concept
Mermaid Poker has become a very good poker site.
Mermaid Poker has plenty of good bonuses and promotions and therefore it seems that the site might become a big player in the future.

Software
The software of
Mermaid Poker works good and looks good. It especially gives a very pleasant overview and also has good standard tools. Of course it is always a matter of personal taste but we think that if you like the layout of Everest, you will probably also appreciate
Mermaid Poker.
Games offered
Mermaid Poker offers
Texas Hold'em,
Omaha, 7 Card Stud and 5 Card Draw. The limits vary between low (0.05 euro/0.10 euro) and high (200 euro/400 euro).
Mermaid Poker also organizes a lot of tournaments which are interesting given that they are
set up extremely well, which is obviously beneficial to the game in general.
Number of players
Mermaid Poker is a medium large site. Expectations are that the number of players will grow slowly but steadily. There are always enough players at the low limits. At the high limit the tables are mainly busy in the evening.
Level of the players
Seriously, over here the players are really bad. Together with Pacific Poker this is the site with the worst players. Playing "tight" is enough to make money over here. Flop percentages of above 80% (on NL50 5max) are no exception! If you can't make money here you will not be able to make it on any other site.
Money traffic
Making deposits or cashing-in earnings is possible through:
VISA, MasterCard,
Neteller, Click2Pay, Switch/Solo/Delta, WebDollar.
Paying out profit works through a system where you'll get a pin code sent to your home address. Once you'll have this code, paying out profits above 500 euro will go very easily and very fast (no pin necessary for amounts below 500 euro).
Help desk is fast and helpful.
