PokerNordica is a respected skin of the Merge Poker Network. As seen upon entering their site, their theme is one of Northern Europe (a location famous for aggressive poker play). They are part of the Kahnawake Gaming Commission in Canada which grants licenses to a number of large poker networks. This in combination with its affiliation with Merge Poker makes PokerNordica a trustworthy poker room to play at.
No other poker network has taken the large strides ahead that Merge Poker has taken. They've added a few huge sportsbooks to their roster of poker skins which has significantly affected their traffic. They rank 21st in the world in terms of traffic and are right behind Cake Poker (in fifth place) considering only poker rooms that accept American players. Their limited traffic does not support games other than No Limit Hold 'Em and Omaha. The players that play on their site are rather fishy due to the fact that they are predominantly sports gamblers. These gamblers create huge pots with weak holdings and the seasoned veteran can take major advantage of this.
Recently, Poker Nordica introduced its VIP Program which allows players to earn up to 45% cashback. Players start at the Training level and must accumulate points to move up levels. Like a boxer, you must fight hard to accumulate points (10 points per $1 rake contributed) and move up to Flyweight, Featherweight, Middleweight etc. As you move up weight classes, you can exchange points for cash and enter the private monthly freeroll for your weight class. Take a look at the table below for a comprehensive breakdown of the Poker Nordica VIP Program.
The points required column designates how many points a player must earn in a month to move up weight classes. Once a player reaches the Featherweight level, he or she may exchange points 3 times a month for the amount of cash displayed in the table. For example, a Light Heavy could exchange 30,000 points for $1,050 in cold hard cash.
The effective rakeback colums conveys the cashback you get from the Poker Nordica VIP Program.
If you go 60 days without earning 1 VIP Points, your VIP status will decay according to the schedule above. In other words, you will lose VIP Points and be moved down weight classes. Try to log-in at least once a month and play a few hands unless you want to get sucker punched!
Finally,
PokerNordica's VIP Program includes monthly freerolls. Here, you can throw your best haymaker and go for the top prize. Even if you swing and a miss, it doesn't cost you a thing! As you move up levels, the prize pools grow, so there is a ton of incentive to grind hard.
