Betfair Poker Download

Joining the growing number of sports betting houses that have expanded to offer online poker, Betfair is actually the largest of the bunch. Because of their large size they decided to build their own poker site and not join a network like Sportsbook Poker and VC Poker. There are pros and cons related to each but Betfair holds their own with a decent player count during most hours of each day. They also sponsor Internet phenomenon Annette “Annete_15” Obrestad whom at 19 is a multi-million dollar winner at the game. She’s also a WSOPE bracelet holder.

Building a large-scale poker software application is no small task but Betfair has done a fair job. With nice-to-haves like a mini-table view you can play up to 15 concurrent tables on even a standard sized monitor. Player friendly features include the ability to mouse-over and see a folded hand and a free “poker buddy” widget that allows you critique your hand history without having to fire up a program like Poker Tracker.

Mostly mostly micro and low limit players populate cash games and the vast majority can be found at the Texas Hold’em tables. Following the lead of most other sports book poker sites, the action here is fast and furious and the players overall are weak. Tournament offerings are varied with $55K guaranteed tournaments each weekend and a little over $25K in daily guarantees. Betfair is very generous in their offering of live tournament qualifiers, giving away seats to events around the world. From the WSOP to the EPT you will find opportunities to play in all of these events at Betfair. Sit and Go traffic is good for the lower limits but if you’re looking for a range of games and limits you may find yourself waiting for quite some time to fill a table at the middle and higher limits.

The standard games being spread at Betfair are:

• Texas Hold’em (No Limit, Limit and pot Limit)
• Omaha (Limit and Pot Limit)
  

No Razz, no stud, no mixed games so if that’s your preferred flavor you’re out of luck here.

Betfair Poker points are the currency for their loyalty program and are earned by playing a raked hand of poker or entering a tournament or SNG. Unlike many other loyalty programs that let you buy gifts and enter tournaments, Betfair also lets you get better odds on your sportsbook bets by spending Betfair Poker points.

Support is great with live operators on the telephone, via chat, and email offering live help. There’s also a comprehensive FAQ available for common questions.

While Betfair doesn’t accept US players at this time (in the past they allowed them) you may find this a good site if you live elsewhere. Traffic is decent and if you prefer Hold’em or Omaha you’ll find a decent game selection. Overall Betfair is a good offering with some additional perks you won’t find at other sites.
