Pokerroom.com was closed in April of 2009.
PokerRoom.com was founded before the poker boom started and grew to be one of the largest poker rooms on the internet. Even after the rise of the bigger sites, PokerRoom remained one of the busier second-tier sites with a lot of traffic at the low limits. At one time it was owned by OnGame, a Swedish company, but was sold to the bwin group for $500 million in 2005. In 2009 bwin shut down PokerRoom and integrated the site into the bwin brand.
Pokerroom was one of the most progressive poker sites when it came to responsible gaming. Their software had customized filters which players could use to make sure their gambling didn't get out of control. There was a feature where players could select a 7-day or 6-month cooling off period where they could not logon. Users could also set their own deposit limits for daily, weekly, and monthly deposits.
