TruePoker was one of the earlier sites to come onto the online poker scene. They opened in 2000 and started real-money games in 2001. Up until then, there were only a few others sites online at the time (Planet, Paradise, and PokerSpot), but their software was pretty primitive. TruePoker blew everyone away with the quality of their graphics. TruePoker was best-known for their 3-D "point of view" software that allows online players to move their hands when they fold or look at their cards. These features annoyed some players because they slowed down the game. The software also gives the player a first person point-of-view of the table where the player has the same relative position at the table all the time.
TruePoker have always been a medium-level site with a decent amount (and pretty loose) games at the lower and middle-limits. They have never elevated themselves to be a top-tier poker room though. This was despite the fact that even employed props to fill up their games (oddly enough, even after the poker boom was well under way). They were slow to add the ability to play multiple tables (was added in 2005), and they have never been particularly strong in tournaments.
Today, TruePoker has a 100% sign-up bonus up to $200, guaranteed tournaments, and vacation tournament packages.
