Purple Lounge

Purple Lounge - Catering to Poker and Casino Fans

Media Corporation Plc is the owner/operator of Purple Lounge, a gaming web site with two functions: Poker and Casino. Both sections are powered by Microgaming software licensed in Malta and use English as the main language. Games are denominated in U.S. dollars and/or Euros for Poker and in British pounds for blackjack, roulette and slots. Separate downloadable applications are provided for each section, although Instant Play mode allows access without installing any special software. Purple Lounge Poker is linked into Microgaming’s Italian Poker Network, Prima Poker, where thousands of players are gathered at any given time of day or night.

Games to Play

Switching back and forth between Purple Lounge’s Poker and Casino options is as easy as pressing a button. But whichever section a player lands in, there is a good chance he/she will not soon want to leave. There is something for everyone and then some.

The Casino features more than 450 games to choose from. Among them is the progressive slot called Mega Moolah, which at last glance had a jackpot of over £4.1 million waiting to be claimed. A broad array of table games complements the huge selection of slots and video pokers. Instant win cards offer up to 10,000X the wagered amount, and a practice play mode is available to sample the games prior to establishing an account.

In the Poker section, games include the world’s four most popular varieties: Texas Hold’em, Omaha, 5-Card Stud, and 7-Card Stud. Players can select from Limit, Pot Limit, and No Limit versions, scheduled tournaments, sit-and go tournaments, or ring games for two to ten participants at a time.

Customer service support for all Purple Lounge operations is available via email 24/7. Those who prefer to converse with a live representative can do so by using Live Chat from anywhere on the web site between the hours of 9am and 1am BST from Monday to Friday.

Bonuses to Claim

For Casino players, an exclusive Casino Bonus of up to £150 is offered. It comes in the form of a 100% funds match on a new player’s initial deposit. The minimum first deposit must be at least £10, while the maximum is £150. To activate the bonus, an email citing “Casino First Deposit Bonus” must be sent to the Purple Lounge support team before play begins. Once the bonus has been credited, it may be used for any Casino games.

Additional deposit-matching bonuses are offered in the Casino for “Happy Hour” every Tuesday and Thursday, up to £75 per day. There is also a Purple Lounge Loyalty Program for Casino players, based upon accumulation of Loyalty Points. It features tiers of membership from Dedicated and Exclusive to Premier and Elite.

An equivalent rewards scheme has been set up for just for Poker players, awarding VIP Points that gather toward bonus cash, prizes, and tournament entries. Each month there are “Rake Races” conducted with cash prizes for the winners. There are also daily freerolls—up to eight of them per day—and a weekly freeroll each Tuesday for all players who deposited $200 or more during the preceding week. Freeroll tournaments held on Saturdays at 5pm offer free spins in the Casino as the grand prize.
