Betfair Poker

One of the first things that you’ll notice about Betfair Poker and this may surprise some of you, is the fact that they have created their own stand-alone platform and opted out of joining a poker network. Their software is above average and isn’t subject to many of the problems that plague some of these “network” sites, especially the lower profile ones. The graphics have improved since they updated the software last year and things flow as smoothly and quickly as you could ask for. The flop at Betfair is solid, with a “no flop no drop” policy being in place. Many players also get involved in the rake rebate system which allows you to literally rake the rake and get some of your money back at the end of the month. While they may not advertise a monthly reload bonus, players who see lots of hands are generally offered a solid deal to re-buy or increase their bankroll. The refer-a-friend bonus is especially lucrative, even more so if you have lots of friends. The guaranteed tournament action at Betfair Poker is extremely solid with tourneys being available for a large amount of different buy-ins. Overall, the quality of players isn’t quite what you’ll find at some bigger poker sites and this makes Betfair as especially attractive option for veteran players, especially at the lower limit tables. Many players venture over from the sportsbook and a seasoned poker player can make some serious coin in a short period of time. What more could you ask for from a poker site?
