It pays to learn how to play fast, Littlewoods' monthly bonus awards you £5 for every 50 hands you play. In addition there are also plenty of opportunities to earn money by being invited to play at a table for up to £20 per hour, while the site is very busy the players do tend to stick to Texas Hold'em so plenty of invites for the Omaha players.

Clean & simple
Littlewoods' software is intuitive and very easy to use, offering all the worthwhile poker games in the three major currencies £, $ and € and on a large variety of table limits. There are stats features built into the software which can be a useful tool to analyse your game or find a table with loose players.
Lots of loose players & newbies
There are lots of loose players at Littlewoods enabling newbies to get some great experience here without getting eaten up by the sharks. As you experience improves move onto the higher limit tables.
Our main critic is that pretty much the only game played here is Texas Hold'em the remaining games tend to be a little quiet.
Games featured:
7 Card Stud
Omaha High

Easy & Swift Service
Littlewoods offer a very high standard of support by both email and telephone (free phone) 24/7. The telephones are well manned so your queries are normally dealt with straight away but we found they generally responded to our email queries within 2 hours (they guarantee a response within 24 hrs). To top this off you can also use the host feature in Littlewoods' poker software which allows live chat between a customer rep.
