<strong>STANDARD OF PLAYERS</strong><br />
Cool Hand is for the casual poker player, and that’s exactly who you’ll find at the tables. The competition ranges from college students to retirees who’ve played the game around kitchen tables for years. The safe, relaxed environment also attracts a number of newer players. For these players, Cool Hand made an extensive Poker School available and offer strategy and game play tips in its newsletters.</p>
<p><strong>LOYALTY PROMOTIONS</strong><br />
The $350 in deposit match bonuses is a pretty good reason to keep coming back for more. Now, add to that the “Cool Points” program and the “My Poker Challenge” and you’ve got even more reason to be a loyal Cool Hand Poker player.<br />
Cool Points are earned simply by playing real money poker. Currently you’re able to use these points to buy in to most Cool Hand daily tournaments and the $500 Added Cool Points monthly tournament, but keep an eye out for the Cool Points store coming soon where you can use points to buy Cool Hand merchandise and other goods.</p>
<p>My Poker Challenge is not like most leader board promotions you see out there. It’s a personal challenge to see how much extra bonus cash you can earn at the end of each calendar month. The top prize in the My Poker Challenge is a cool $10,000 - and that’s on over and above your regular prize of up to $1250! It’s pretty clear that loyalty pays at Cool Hand.<br />
<strong>SUMMARY</strong><br />
Cool Hand Poker is all about Poker for the People. Low to medium buy-ins means no sharks, pro’s or hustlers so a player is free to relax and enjoy some good poker.<br />
With bonus offers, daily freerolls, outstanding customer support and special weekend promotions, Cool Hand Poker really does seem to cater for everyday people. And they do this, all while striving to offer the best player experience possible.<br />
