PokerMatch is a poker room of the independent PokerMatch network (since 2016). It was created specifically for players from Ukraine who can withdraw winnings and make deposits in local currency – the hryvnia. But players from other countries are also accepted.
PokerMatch is a deeply rebranded young poker room. It was formerly called Parimatch, but after leaving the iPoker network, both the name itself and the business strategy changed, which became more customer-oriented.
The company, which owns a poker room, has been operating in the gambling business since 1994.
PokerMatch offers its players profitable first deposit bonuses, regularly organizes interesting promotions for both cash players and tournament poker fans. The poker room client supports all popular operating systems, and the game is also available on mobile devices based on Android and iOS.

Pokermatch Soft Review
The poker room soft cannot be described as the best one at the poker market, but it is qualitative enough and is designed in a way that the user can easily find the necessary game type.
The filter system will be understandable for any player. With the aid of convenient tabs the player can quickly move through the cash-games into the tournaments, etc.
Apart from the main tabs, the additional filter is clearly visible in a prominent place. In this filter you can set the limits, table currency, the players’ number, buy-ins’ level, the discipline and others.
You can install the Pokermatch client in English language or choose available language during the poker room reinstallation.
The players can adjust the poker room client for themself in the general settings:
- Choose the table theme;
- Change the cards ‘view;
- Choose the avatar from the available ones or download single-handedly any pictures;
- Change the volume/ switch off/ switch on the audio;
- Set the “hot keys”;
- Set the buy-ins sum;
- Other settings;
During the game the player can mark the opponents with the different colors, write the notes and communicate in the chat. The game table looks as follows:
The poker room doesn’t support an additional poker soft and prohibits their clients its usage (Hold'em Manager and Poker Tracker).
The client operates well on the computers with such operating systems as Windows and Mac OS. Also, the poker room flush-version is available and with its aid you can play online poker through the browser.
