Deposit Bonus Information:
Virtual City Poker offer a 50% match bonus on deposits up to $200 in free cash.
They have a tight fisted definition of what a raked hand is - you have to have personally put money in the pot for it to count. With a 10X playthrough, and a definition of raked hands that is different from most main rooms, this bonus is a pain. Also, you can't cashout at all, until you've cleared it.

Another casino organisation tries to get a piece of the poker boom.
Virtual City use the Microgaming (Prima) Software. Prima run the poker rooms for a lot of online casinos, and total a reasonable size poker site. The players aren't bad, but they aren't good. I'm not a great poker player, but I managed to win fairly consistently over a week or so at Golden Tiger (another skin). There are enough players with Prima so there are always a lot of No Limit Holdem tables (my game of choice).
Microgaming software is generally nice, and their "Prima" poker software is no exception. It runs quickly the layout makes sense. The chat box is nice and large, so you can talk trash when you crush some fool for all his chips, and all the buttons are in logical places.
There is a good selection of tournaments, mostly No Limit Holdem (is there any other game worth playing?), and the buyins are not too steep.
Virtual City has casino-type terms and conditions on their website. So, I'm just a little cautious about recommending them. If you consider yourself a 'Bonus Hunter', you might want to stay clear. If you are just here to play poker I am comfortable telling you to play here.
