Once you get past that though, the install is simple. I find this rather stupid and it seems to cause other people issues as well(a google search confirms this) since most Internet Browsers will block it by default. The download process is kind of annoying since they use a wonky java applet to 'launch' the download. The signup process is simple and since it's a service based site, you can use pretty much any old piece of plastic in your wallet and have no hassles(see next paragraph). The big tournaments require 1k-2k TP buy-ins however, so you'll have to either win a satellite or build a bankroll of TPs by finishing 'In the points' in MTTs/SnGs to get access to those. All subscribed accounts get 500 TPs and are reloaded once a day at midnight ET if they fall below 500. They do gate the better tournaments to a certain extent as well, as they use a point system, called Tournament Points(TPs) as the buy-in currency.

They also have a monthly $10k prize pool tourney which offers the best deep payout structure, paying at least $20 to the top 250, and $1k to first. That said, they do offer a few tournaments with some big first place finishes, like a 7 day cruise, the $5k live WPT buy-in, and boot camp prizes but those are winner take alls, so it's pretty limited. Keep in mind though that that $15 was for taking 9th in a tournament with about 1780 runners and playing for about 3.25 hours, so in comparison to something like a $2 buy-in tournament on a regular site, its a terrible payout. I hit for $15 last night and I've only been on the site for 10 days and haven't played poker at all in the 3 years prior. If you are looking for small stakes tournaments, it's not awful, as it seems pretty easy to at least make your subscription fee up if you aren't a complete idiot. If you are looking for interesting ring games, it's total trash, as the ring games are play money only and there are no prizes to be had there. Depending on what your goals are, it can be 'okay' or it'll be a total waste.
