Empire Poker was a part of the portal of Party Poker until late 2005. Empire Poker and Party Poker shared tables and players. However, after the split, although they do not share the same game tables and network, they still share the same software interface. Both Empire Poker and Party Poker are different entities now. Kahnawake Gaming Commission licenses and regulates all games at Empire Poker. Empire Poker offers many multi-table and single-table tournaments all through the year.

Empire Poker offers all the features that you’ll find everywhere else, a good game selection, great customer support, fun graphics and a wide variety of banking options, but it is their efforts to create a safe and fun environment for every player that sets them apart.

Empire Poker Software
While Empire Poker's software is nothing earth-shattering, it is quite fast. It is also fairly easy to use, though players may experience some delays with loading the lobby screens. The lobby is very user-friendly and built so that you can choose from different limits and games and set the game stakes apart. The top menus provide for a great amount of functionality, too. The table is very clean and simple, but lacks the high quality graphics we're used to these days. But nevermind that, it's still above the average. Multi table play is supported also.

Empire Poker Tournaments
This is a pretty good site for tournament players. Since Empire Poker is on the same network as Party Poker, users have access to some of the best tournament offerings online. The reason their tournament score is slightly lower than Party Poker's is that many tournament freeroll promotions held by Party Poker are not available on the Empire interface. Each Sunday this site holds one of the most popular tournaments on the internet, a $200+$15 buy-in $300,000 guaranteed event.

Empire Poker Promotions
The biggest and best of all Empire Poker promotions is the Million Dollar tournament with $1,000,000 in guaranteed cash prizes, every month, only $215 in buy-in fees. A progressive bad beat jackpot is growing constantly, waiting for a happy winner who will earn the huge prize. A friend referral program worth $50 is also offered.

Customer Support
Empire Poker offers complete customer support twenty-four hours of the day through prompt replies to your e-mail queries. A live floor person also helps you in any problems while playing your games
