The Boss Media poker network is a middle-sized network that hosts a handful of recognizable names. The biggest skin on the network is currently Paradise poker, which made the switch to the network after it experienced a severe drop in players after the UIGEA, and due the fact that its software was getting pretty outdated. The network as a whole has decent software, and claims to be centered on providing the best experience possible for the players.
The skins on the network utilize a one-wallet system, which allows players to move from casino, poker and sportsbook without having to transfer or deposit any extra money. Although this feature is already available at a number of rooms and networks, it is nice to find it on each of the Boss Media skins also.
As already mentioned, the software is decent, but unfortunately it is lagging behind many other networks and rooms that go out of their way to create the best platform as possible more than the Boss Media network does. If you play at any of the rooms on the network, you would not be disappointed with the software and features on other, yet you get the feeling that it is missing that certain edge to make it stand out. Basically, Boss Media has the all the foundations of a solid poker room, yet doesn’t provide anything exceptional to make you want to return to the room.
On the plus side, the software runs smoothly and at a slightly speedier game speed than at most poker rooms. It is also fairly quick to download and loads up within a few seconds after opening.
Graphics wise, everything looks very smooth, and has a slight 3D edge to it. However, the lack of avatars or characters to represent players means that the table looks pretty dull and unexciting, despite the best efforts of the skins to spice up the backgrounds.
Possibly the worst part of the Boss Media network is the lobby design. Although it may sound like a good idea to provide tables in multiple currencies, it simply complicates the process of finding the right table after logging in. It can be frustrating to find your exact game and limit, yet not be able to play in your preferred currency, or choose the wrong table by accident. The tabs at the top of the lobby are also a little unclear, and take some getting used to before you can quickly jump between the games and limits on offer.
As with most networks (apart from Microgaming), Boss Media does not accept US players. In spite of this, the room attracts a high volume of players, placing it at around the number 8 position in the overall traffic rankings. Compared to the other networks, Boss Media receives less traffic than iPoker and OnGame, but receives more than the Cryptologic and Microgaming networks. Since Paradise Poker transferred over to Boss Media, there has been an evident spike in the overall traffic on the network.
Overall, the Boss Media network is satisfactory. In my opinion, it is one of my lesser favored poker networks, and I wouldn’t have too much of a reason to sign up with any skins on the network unless there was a solid promotion or bonus offer. If the software was revamped a little and offered a few extra features, it may become a little more interesting, but at the moment the network is far from offering anything extraordinary.
