Our Mission

Our main goal is to provide poker enthusiasts in Kuwait with all the info they need to start playing online, be it for real money or for free. We have a team of casino experts who have been serving Arab players, being their number one go-to site for advice. So whether you are a beginner or a professional poker player, our aim is to give you all the trustworthy resources you need in your poker journey.

Our Vision

We strive to become the number one online poker source in the Arab world, guiding Kuwaitis and other Arab players to trusted poker sites, and to empower every poker enthusiast to reach their full potential by providing the ultimate toolkit for strategy, room selection, and value. We realize there is not much poker focus among sites in Kuwait, so we wanted to be that Arabic source for them too.

Why You Can Trust Us?

We know it can be challenging to find an affiliate site that is trustworthy and does not direct you randomly to sites just to get money. We do things a little differently here at Kuwait Poker. We test the poker sites ourselves to deem them fit or not for a Kuwaiti player, and we research the sites to see what kind of security measures they are taking to protect players.

Even though our website is relatively new, our team has a combined 10+ years of experience in the iGaming industry with a focus on the GCC market. Not to mention, many of us are Arabs, so we also look at things from an Arab perspective, putting ourselves in the shoes of poker players and the obstacles they would face playing a variation or on a certain site, and what it offers us and does not here or there.

Our values

Trust & Credibility

We don’t just want to make money; we want to be reliable. We do not want to trick or fool our readers just for the sake of getting commission. Therefore, we test out the sites ourselves, we stake our own money first, and give honest opinions.

Responsible Gaming

One of the key things we believe in is keeping gambling a fun activity. Poker may be a game of skill and strategy. Nevertheless, it is a casino game where even the most upright people can develop bad habits and start gambling away their money. Thus, responsible gambling is our main value, and we always recommend poker sites that closely monitor the activity of players to see if they are off the wagon and provide them with tools to set limits.

Player Education

Poker is not an easy game, and it has many variations where the rules are different, and it can take years to master. So our goal on this site is to educate players about these variations and learn how to play, teach and learn the types of bonuses, and watch out for hidden terms and conditions. Most importantly, we teach Kuwaitis how to choose trusted sites should they come across one that is not on our list.

Safety & Privacy

You expose a lot of things about yourself when signing up and depositing on a poker site, thus the security and safety of our readers is a priority. We do the necessary verification to ensure that the data of players is safe on the poker sites we suggest for them. If you are going to use your credit card and put your ID on that site, then the bare minimum is to have that data encrypted.

How We Rate Online Poker Sites?

Criterion	% Weight
Poker Games	30%
Bonuses	20%
Payments	15%
Security	15%
Player Support	10%
Software	10%

There are 6 main criteria we take into consideration when reviewing a poker site and assigning a star rating to it, to see whether it is a good fit for a Kuwaiti player or not.

Poker Games: Since we are focused on poker, the poker library is the most important, especially for pros who want tournaments and specific variations other than Texas Hold’em.
Bonuses: Poker bonuses are a must on our recommended sites because poker has specific bonuses that are rarely found in non-dedicated poker rooms. We are talking about rakeback or tournament tickets.
Payments: In third place is payments, because Kuwaitis may face blocks from banks, so more options are important, like e-wallets and crypto. Easy verification and quick payouts are also tested, because no one wants to wait forever to get their winnings.
Security: Players enter their info on websites, like their real name, phone number, and, more importantly, their ID cards and credit card details. So data security and encryption methods are something we look at when rating a poker site. The necessity of having a casino license goes without saying.
Player Support: When we check support, we look for Arabic speakers, quick response, 24/7 availability, and yes, we also care for special treatment for Kuwaiti players. We think highly of our readers, and so should the poker sites.
Software: This is where we test out how the games function—do they freeze, do they lag? Also, is there a standalone mobile app? If not, is the site fully optimized for mobile? And what about the graphics—are they decent enough?

The Concept of Affiliates: Our Income Sources

We rely on affiliate marketing to earn our income. That helps us keep going. With affiliate marketing, we partner with top Kuwaiti poker sites such as Betfinal, 1xBet, and others to advertise them on our platform. We have a mutual understanding and an agreed-upon rewards plan. In most cases, it is a revenue share, which means when a player registers on these poker sites using our platform, we get a commission starting at 25% all the way up to 50%. This is how all affiliate casino sites work. This is why we study each partnership thoroughly to see if it is a good fit and if the said site will provide value to our readers and to us at the same time.
