Cake Poker is a fairly new addition to the online poker world. The room entered the market in 2005 and has experienced a moderate growth since. The room is part of a small network that has software that is similar to that of the OnGame network with rooms like Hollywood Poker. The room has not been very big into advertising, and so has never really seen a big influx of players.

Cake Poker has gone out of its way to try and provide a realistic atmosphere for its customers to play in. The avatars are of photographed models, including the dealer, which will sit in the seat and represent you as you play. Although the models are a little fuzzy, it is one step ahead of having very cartoon-like avatars in the seats to represent you. This real-life feeling helps to make you concentrate and realise that real money is often at stake.
