Betfair Poker
Owned by the largest sports exchange in the world, Betfair Poker gains alot of its players from the huge reputation held within the gambling community alone. With such a large company behind the site, the software and the playability of the site is one of the best within the ever growing online poker room community.
Betfair Poker offer a bonus of $600 to new depositing players but offer this bonus on terms that are unlike any of the bigger sites. For a new player who signs up and deposits, the offer is not a match bonus where the site gives you the chance to unlock an equal amount to the value of your deposit but instead offer players the full $600 bonus to any depositing player.
This means that even if a player was to only deposit $50 into their account, they can still unlock $600 in bonus funds. All a player needs to do is unlock the funds by aquiring points at the tables, generated from the amount of rake that a pot they are involved in takes. The site offers $1 for every 10 Betfair Poker points, so all you have to do is generate 6,000 Betfair Poker points to unlock the full $600 bonus!
On signing up to the site, I was pleased to see that the lobby was easy to navigate and well laid out, unlike so many smaller poker sites out there that seem to want to confuse players before they have even got to the tables. Taking a look at the lobby and the games on offer, the site offers the usual games that are widely available on most of the online poker rooms.
With the site offering Texas Hold'em, Omaha High, Omaha High Low and 7 card stud, there is something for every player who joins the site. Texas Hold'em is fast becoming the most popular style of poker and there is strong evidence that thats happening at Betfair Poker too, with what seems to be 90% of the traffic heading to the Texas Hold'em style tables.
Another huge boost to my impression of the site was the inclusion of limits that ranged from a micro $0.05 / $0.10 up to a huge $1000 / $2000. This is something that many of the bigger, more popular sites simply can't offer players, with many stopping their stakes at $100 / $200. Although these "nosebleed" stakes are rarely active, you can still catch a glimpse of some serious players at these stakes
With the traffic of the site seemingly focused towards the Texas Hold'em style of poker, i decided that I would fund my account with $50 and give both the site and the players there a try. My findings was that the software was flowing, easy to read and easy on the eye, while the standard of players at the site was mixed. I soon got to grips with the players at my table, playing only the power hands to remove their funds from them like taking candy from a small child.
One thing that i did notice was that the stakes that are more commonly played at the site are the lower stakes of $0.25 / $0.50 but that fit in well with my bankroll management.
Overall the site offers a great place for players to make their home, been rewarded with a $600 sign up bonus regardless of how much they deposit into the site and the game play is regular and in my honest opinion of a very loose standard.
