| Betfair Poker Review |
As part of the OnGame Poker Network, BetFair is able to draw from the fifth largest player pool in online poker, so the games are always well-stocked with players at virtually every hour of the day. The site was founded in 1998 and is better known for its sports-book operation more so than its poker arm –BetFair is the world’s largest sports-book according to their corporate page-- but over the years BetFair Poker has built up a strong reputation for its reliable software, well populated poker games, and excellent customer service.
With a number of innovative promotions, including a sponsored pro program, daily and weekly guaranteed prize-pool tournaments, and a terrific deposit bonus, BetFair Poker is a very appealing online poker room, especially to new and casual poker players! Unfortunately at this time BetFair Poker is not accepting customers from the United States.
Now let’s get down to business and take a look inside the site!

| Resource traffic |
As the #1 sports-book on the Internet, you’ll find quite a few weak players at BetFair’s tables. So even though the player base is taken from the entire OnGame Network, which is middle of the road in terms of competition, thanks to the loose gamblers from the sports-betting part of the site you’ll have no problem finding a player ready to part with three or four buy-ins. So overall the site is not the softest on the Internet, but there are quite a few ATM machines to be found.
As the 5th largest online poker network BetFair has a massive supply of players and game selection is never an issue on the site. With a huge European player pool, BetFair’s traffic peaks in the evening hours in Europe.

| Betfair Poker Games and Tournaments |
Sit & Go Tournaments Offered:
BetFair offers the usual assortment of Sit & Go tournaments, and overall the competition is fairly soft until you reach the $50 buy-in S&G’s, at which point you’ll need to be a solid player to continue to exploit the typical players at these stakes –although you’ll sometimes find very weak players in these games as well.
Multi-Table Tournaments Offered:
In addition to their daily tournament schedule, BetFair also runs a number of guaranteed weekly tournaments including the flagship $200k Guaranteed that takes place every Sunday. In addition to the $200K Guarantee; if you play on Sundays at BetFair you’ll also find the $100k guarantee with one rebuy, and throughout the week you will find the $40k High-Roller and $50k European Grand Prix, as well as the daily $40k guaranteed tournament.
Cash Games Offered:
Similar to their Sit and Go tournaments you’ll find the basics in terms of cash games offered at BetFair: With Holdem and PLO dominating at BetFair, with a smattering of Omaha 8 and Stud players at the site, and even some 5 Card Draw games. The competition on the whole is pretty good, but the site does have more than the usual amount of REALLY bad players, which makes the games pretty juicy if you can locate one of these fish. |
