Bet365 Poker Review

Bet365 Poker Overall

Bet365 Poker is one of the more popular Microgaming (formerly Prima Poker) rooms with big tournaments and a great selection of games. Overall they have a very appealing poker room with good incentives to play including a weekly $250,000 guaranteed, a daily $40,000 no limit Hold'em tournament (buy in $25), a $500 welcome bonus, a very good range of freeroll tournaments and excellent heads up action. In addition there is a daily $1000 freeroll which you will be able to play when you sign up.

The site supports view flop percentages and has a good number of loose games. Using this function you will be able to seek out the loose games. The software is very stable and the graphics are pretty good (although in comparison to some other rooms there is room for improvement). There are yearly, monthly and weekly leader boards with some fantastic prizes in addition to an easy to navigate lobby and over $4.5 Million Dollars in guaranteed prize pools. A really top room on offer and we highly recommend you give it a go.

Bet365 Presentation

The presentation of the site is pretty good. The graphics are not overdone and at the same time nothing special. There was an upgrade last year which has redesigned the lobby and structured it a bit better and they have recently gone through another upgrade redesigning the lobby again. In terms of functionality it is much better and easier to find games (although look has gone the other way). However the site is well laid out and you can always find the games you are looking for so no complaints at all.

Bet365 Poker Software

Bet365 Poker software is shared amongst the other Prima Poker network rooms. It is pretty quick although sometimes refresh is not as quick as it could be. This is more an issue in tournaments where the updates occur every 30 seconds or so. In addition there are sometimes issues where the tournament lobby has no information and you need to logout and back in to get it working. Having tested this throughout June and July is seems to have been corrected so fingers crossed all is now well.

On the plus side, it is stable and works well by and large. The software supports a good amount of features and statistical information. Find hands played per hour, average pot, view flop percentages and number of people seated. There is also a find a friend function available, which will show you all tables that your friends are playing. The only recommendation we could make here is that it would be useful to hyperlink the results so that you don’t have to manually go and find the table. They also have on site live customer support, a note taking function and you can play up to 4 tables simultaneously. Playing multiple tables you can also resize your table image so that they all fit in the same screen.

The site supports the following games : Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha High Low, 5 Card Draw, 5 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud. There really is an excellent choice of games on offer including excellent heads up action (including heads up tournaments).
