Deposit Bonus Information:
Absolute offer a 100% match bonus on your first deposit up to $250 (bonus code AP250). They also offer pretty much permanent reload bonuses - I'm not kidding when I say there's one every week. They earn out at 10 cents per raked hand, which is pretty good and makes them worth about $5 per table hour of full-ring 1/2.

Do you want a continual stream of deposit bonuses?
Well, Absolute poker are industry-famous for offering reload bonuses almost every week. They are also growing rapdily and are closing in on a top 5 spot in terms of size.
Absolute poker's software looks good, but is still a little buggy. It's also somewhat greedy with your processor power. I have had it hang a couple times. I run a fairly low-spec machine though, so all you high-tech people shouldn't have many problems.
Absolute Poker's support is very quick. I got helpful, and understandable, responses to my test emails inside the hour. That's quicker than the autoresponder for some sites. Big credit to Absolute for getting their support right. Now if they just keep improving your software, it will soon be a top-flight poker site.
Cashouts are fast. I have never had one slower than 6 hours, and nobody I know has had a cashout (to neteller) take longer than 12 hours.
The players at Absolute are the usual mixed bag. There are some good players, some average ones, and a bunch of idiots. This is the same as anywhere, but you can sometimes run into some pretty tough games (look for tables where a lot of people are seeing the flop, rather than the fold fests which usually have better players).
Absolute have a relatively good selection of tournaments. There are 15 $50 freerolls a day (although since they often fill all of the 1500 entries, it takes a while to finish), at the moment they are also running a daily freeroll to qualify for a tournament at the end of the month that will send someone to the WSOP.
