5 Reasons I Love Betfair Poker!
 Betfair are better known for giving people the ability to become a bookmaker, either betting themselves or taking other people's bets through their exchange platform. What many people are not aware of is that Betfair have a poker site, and a big one at that. This is part of the 'OnGame' network a group of sites who pool together their players and is collectively the 5th largest poker site online.
Traffic from the sport-betting side of this site makes a big big difference to the games. Here I list 5 reasons why I love Betfair Poker!
#1 Betfair Poker Offer MASSIVE Bonuses

#2 Betfair Has Opponents With No Poker Strategy Knowledge
So many people arrive at the poker site via the sports-betting side of this brand with little or no poker strategy knowledge that you will be amazed at the effect this has on the tables! Of course, players can and do get lucky, however the majority will lose their money. One thing which people should know about is the fact that these crazy (in poker terms) fish tend to make the entire table looser and wilder
great for the games and easy to profit from if you are a solid player.
#3 Betfair Offer A Great Choice Of Cash Games And Tournaments
100’s of tables to choose from if you enjoy cash games. No Limit Holdem is the most popular by far, though Pot Limit Omaha and Pot Limit Omaha hi-lo are also busy. 7-card stud and 5 card draw have a few tables each… though at the lower buy-in levels only. Tournaments and SNGs are also popular with choice ranging from a few cents to the $200 entry Champion Chip each Sunday… Double or Nothing, Turbo, Rebuy and heads-up games complete a packed line-up of games to choose from.
#4 Betfair Have Cool Software Compatible With Multiple Devices
Browser, download and mobile software means that you get to play at Betfair whenever and wherever you are! The lobby is very nicely arranged, with big blue buttons selecting your initial choices which drill down into a list of tables you can then preview the tables before you join. At the tables themselves you will find colorful avatars and a whole bunch of useful information in a special side-panel. All round great software for many devices!
#5 Betfair Look After Their Regular Players Really Well
Some sites give you the initial bonus and then forget you not Betfair. You get to be part of one of the most generous loyalty schemes anywhere online and will benefit from a long line of promotions and one-off offers. I will not list them here (since by next month they will have changed!) so remember to keep an eye on the Betfair.com website for the latest and greatest deals.
