Betfair Highlights

US Friendly: Betfair Poker currently does not accept US poker players at this time.

VIP Program: Betfair poker players will find that they will accumulate poker points rather quickly on the online poker site. However, one of the only possible ways to utilize these Betfair points is by cashing them in for a decreased commission on sports-betting wagers.

Competition: As I said previously, the majority of Betfair’s poker players find their way to the online poker tables through either Betfair’s sportsbook, horse racing, or casino; making Betfair’s poker tables some of the most action packed in the industry.

Customer Support: Betfair’s customer support team is quick to respond, and handles any problem or complaint in a very professional manner, with every attempt made to make the customer happy.

Deposit Bonus: Betfair is currently offering first time depositors in their poker room a $1500 sign up bonus.

$66K guaranteed tournament: Betfair’s premiere tournament is the $66k guaranteed tournament held every Sunday. Despite being a higher buy-in tournament the play is still very fast and loose.

Software Features

Betfair’s software underwent a major overhaul in 2007, and there has been very little complaining ever since: Betfair’s poker software is very functional and has few server related problems, it’s also one of the fastest and smoothest running poker sites in online poker. Otherwise, Betfair’s software is pretty nondescript, there are very few bells and whistles, but the software’s performance is everything an online poker player could ask for.

Some of the notable features of Betfair’s software are:

• Available in 7 different languages
• Hand re-player
• Multi-view table options
• Extremely fast
• Tournament and cash game filters
