| When Betfair launched their poker room in May 2004, few people could
have predicted what an amazing success story it would become. There
are now upwards of 23,000 players from 45 countries, with more joining
every hour at the fastest growing poker room in the world. |
| There is a huge amount of variety at the poker tables, with the
option of playing one of four games, including TV favourite “Texas
Hold ‘Em” and “7 Card Stud”, plus a variety
of tournaments. Many of these tournaments are qualifiers to big offline
events, such as the World Series of Poker, played in Las Vegas. |
| Betfair Poker offer some of the most exciting poker tournaments
you will find anywhere on the web. From 10-seater Single Table Tournaments
starting as low as €1 to large Multi Table Tournaments with guaranteed
prize pools. You can also play in monthly satellites to win seats
at the greatest offline poker tournaments in the world. There is definitely
no shortage of action, whatever your level, or your ambition. |
| The software itself is provided by Cryptologic, one of the foremost
gaming softwarecompanies in the world. The software runs using a Random
Number Generator (RNG), which is fully audited by Global Gaming Services,
an internationally renowned independent testing company. The RNG assigns
each card a number and then randomly selects one from the remaining
cards, meaning that the shuffle is far more random than an offline
game. |
| In a competitive market, Betfair Poker has tried to link the online
game with the offline world. They run loads of tournaments for qualification
to the big professional events, including a series of offline tournaments,
a river cruise, and a charity tournament - and Betfair say they are
planning more and more for 2005. |
| For Betfair players, there is the added incentive of earning Betfair
Points for playing on Betfair Poker. |
| Betfair Poker is the only place you can play poker where you can
restrict the amount you pay on your sports betting. When you play
Betfair Poker, you will earn Betfair Points which can reduce the amount
you pay in commission on any sports betting markets you play. |

After that there’s plenty more, including their Proposition
Player scheme, through which you can get paid up to £20 per
hour to play.
Any player registered with Betfair Poker is already a member of the
Prop Player Incentive Scheme. If you are waiting for a game on a full
table a message may pop up offering you a cash incentive to go to
a particular table and start a game. If you accept the offer you will
be taken to the game, if you do not accept the offer you will remain
on the waiting list for the table you wish to join, and you also have
the option to exclude yourself from receiving such offers in the future.
If you have recently taken part in the Prop Player Incentive Scheme
your name will be placed at the end of the queue and you will not
see the message again until your name reaches the head of the queue.
Depending upon how much time you spend in the poker room you could
see the prop message several times a day. |
A Royal Flush is a special event on any occasion, and enough to
get excited about by itself. Betfair have decided to give you even
more to celebrate by giving every person who gets a Royal Flush up
to £300!
The bonus will be awarded to each player that receives a Royal Flush,
regardless of how many times it has been won in each given day. |
