Our review of the games, rakeback, software, cashier and account rules that separate these two rooms.
We do not think Guts Poker vs RedStar Poker can be settled by one percentage or a lobby screenshot. We checked the network, traffic, rakeback, cashier, software and account rules to find the differences that affect regular play.
We would start with RedStar Poker. Guts Poker has the higher listed trust score at 92/100 compared with 84/100. Neither room publishes a useful traffic figure, so we recommend checking the lobby during the hours you normally play. We still see a case for Guts Poker if its NLHE and PLO offering or 10%-30% rakeback better matches the way you play.
