The poker review site
that actually plays poker.
Updated 2026-05-12
PokerGods is a poker site review and rake comparison hub for grinders. We test the seven dot-com rooms still worth a deposit in 2026, score them on a public formula that weights rake at 20%, real rakeback at 20% and pool softness at 20%, and then we publish the test logs. The same builders maintain fifteen free poker calculators (variance, ICM, push-fold, pot odds, bankroll, Kelly, EV), a daily poker puzzle with the GTO answer and the equity math, and a clean breakdown of every major network so you stop paying twice for the same pool.
The three rooms worth your hours
142 hours of test play across every major room. Three sites separated on the only metrics that move your hourly: rake, real rakeback (not the marketing number), and how soft the pool is once you sit down.
Daily poker puzzles and a real simulator
One hand a day with the GTO answer and the equity math. One featured spot run ten thousand times against villain's range. Free, no sign-up, no ads on the page.
