Step 2 - Download Raider Poker and create a Raider Poker account
SCREENSHOT NOT AVAILABLE
1. When the download is completed, create a new account and fill out the form about your personal information
2. To be eligible for rakeback, use code: RD500
Software here is simple and easy to use; the tabbed lobby means that even if you are brand new to the online poker industry, you will be able to find your way about the site.
The in game screens again are simple but that could be to do with the site wanting to focus on the transaction of the software, keeping it smooth and without error.
If you compare this to some of the other larger online poker rooms than you would feel that the software on offer here is a little too little for the more advanced player but if you’re a online poker player who doesn’t use all of the features that the likes of Pokerstars and Full Tilt offer to you then you could do far worse than heading to Everleaf.

The US friendly, Raider Poker is a member of the Everleaf Poker Network, which is ranked #19 in terms of traffic by Pokerscout.com. The Everleaf Network is a conglomerate of small US friendly poker sites that have teamed up to offer their players a larger player base to compete against.
As a smaller site, security, and integrity is always paramount. Raider Poker boasts “the best card shuffling system” in online poker. Raider does not use an RNG, they use a “Quantum Photon Shuffler” which they describe as hack-proof. Raider Poker states that unlike other site’s RNG’s their software is not influenced by player’s decisions, and no one (not even their floor manager) can see a player’s hole cards until the conclusion of the hand.
The great thing about smaller online poker sites is the abundance of promotions, and innovative software designs that they produce in order to compete with the big boys, like Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars.
With their excellent bonus and astounding 40% rakeback, Raider Poker offers players a viable alternative to the bigger sites.
Raider Poker Software
Raider Poker has a similar look to the Cake Poker Network sites, with a few major differences:
Raider Poker uses real pictures of poker players in place of the more ‘cartoony’ CGI favored by other sites.
Raider Poker replaced the scantily clad female dealer with a more realistic male bow-tied dealer (I’m not sure if this a plus or a minus?)
Some of Raider Poker’s other cool features include switching dealers (this is especially important to superstitious players), display folded hands, and a ‘move here’ option.
Games Offered
Raider Poker has a good selection of games to choose from: Texas Hold’ Em (limit, no limit, and pot limit) Pot Limit Omaha, Omaha 8 or better, and 7-Card-Stud. Stakes range anywhere from $.05/$.10 games all the way up to $50/$100 games.
Raider Poker also has a good selection of Sit and Go Tournaments starting at $.10 buy-ins for low stakes players. Their Sit & Go’s come in a variety of formats –full ring, 6-handed, heads-up, and turbos.
At Raider Poker guaranteed tournaments are the name of the game, with many overlays available to their players. Most tournaments are under $20 buy-ins, with the exception of their $10,000 guaranteed tournament held on Sunday afternoon, with its $50 buy-in.
Raider Poker is a great site for small buy-in tournament players looking for good overlays, and low to middle stakes players.
Raider Poker Promotions
Raider Poker offers a huge 100% up to $500 initial sign-up bonus, along with one of the best rakeback deals on the market 40%!

Raider Poker Deposit and Withdrawal Methods
Raider Poker has the usual deposit and withdrawal methods available at other US friendly sites. But, keep in mind, that as a US friendly site, it’s best to check with the site to make sure the options are still viable.
