  • Overall: 

    Betfair Poker is one of the most recognizable names in the online poker industry. This means that they are to the internet poker world what drinking a mug of Guinness is to beer fans everywhere: you know you are going to get a quality product. Betfair is completely independent, and all its software is created specifically for this site. This means users of the service will enjoy a playing experience that is unique among the scores of other sites who use the same software manufacturers to create their graphics and interface. Staying with the aforementioned Guinness example, yes you are getting a very good product in Betfair, but it isn't exactly Sam Adams. They score slightly above average when it comes to issues like traffic, game variety, and the rake. Overall this is a solid site that delivers a quality playing experience. This is how they have become one of the best known companies in the industry.

    Software and Design: 

    From a graphics standpoint, this is a very attractive site that is updated often. The software is extremely secure and offers some nice player options, such as letting a player see a folded hand, player location maps, search functions, mini-views and massive multi-table play abilities. The lobby has some rather nice offering as well. From the lobby players may view vital table statistics like viewed-flop percentage, average pot size, and hands played per hour. For those who want to break down their own game, the software offers a hand-history function. The learning curve for the player interface is one that can be survived by even the most underachieving public school student. In minutes players can easily learn the ins and outs of working with Betfair.

    Games: 

    Texas Holdem, Omaha Hi, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud Hi, and Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo. All games are available in Limit, Pot Limit and No Limit versions. Micro-Limit and Small-Limit games are available.

    Tournaments: 

    Betfair offers a wide variety of tournaments with buy-ins that range from just a couple of dollars to the sort of money that will desensitize someone to competing in the World Series of Poker. Traffic at the tournaments is slightly above average, but nothing that is going to stand out.

    Competition: 

    Betfair spends a lot of money marketing itself. This means that a steady stream of new and inexperienced players will always be ready, willing, and able to have their money taken. In short, the competition is soft, and will be into the foreseeable future.

    Deposits and Cashout: 

    Deposit: VISA, MasterCard, NETeller, Citadel, FirePay, Moneybookers, InstaCash, InstaDebit, EcoCard, UseMyBank, wire transfer, bank draft and personal check.
    Cashout: NETeller, FirePay, Moneybookers, InstaDebit, EcoCard, bank draft express and wire transfer.

    Bonuses and Promotions: 

    Betfair offers a first deposit bonus of $150. Players must deposit a minimum of $20 and the bonus is paid out at a rate of $10 for every 400 Betfair Poker Points earned. Betfair releases the bonus weekly, in $10 increments. Players must clear the bonus in 60 days or lose the unpaid portion. 1 Betfair Poker Point is earned for every $0.10 collected in rake and/or tournament fees.
