NUTS: Nice software features including download or browser play. You can also play in many different languages. Betsson offers a nice mini table view for multi-tabling. Their VIP program gives players access to special freeroll tournaments. They run many special tournaments and have lots of tournament traffic.
BEATS: Player points are new and only useful for bonuses and freerolls, pretty weak VIP program overall. Betsson does not accept US players.

Betsson.com Overview

Betsson is one of the many multi-talented gambling operators that populate the internet. Offering everything from sportsbooks to bingo, a good poker room is at the core of their business. They originate from Sweden but, like many successful gambling corporations, have moved their operations to Malta. Since its founding in 2002 they have been listed on the Stockholm stock exchange and became the first company to open a non-government-owned betting shop in Sweden.

In 2004 they made the decision to pool their resources with some of the other medium-sized rooms and joined the OnGame network. Sharing a player base with the likes of Mansion Poker, EuroPoker and PokerRoom swells their connection base to an average 30,000 per day.

Any player at any skill level will be able to find a suitable game at Betsson Poker, although the choice of stakes is not the widest. Tables start at $0.05 - $0.10 at the low end for No-limit Hold 'em and the high rollers may balk at the $50 - $100 ceiling. However, for the vast majority there are enough options to satisfy. The high stakes Limit Hold 'em player, by contrast, is well catered to: tables reach as high as $500 - $1000.

As you might expect it can be a struggle to find a high stakes game at off peak times - with things dwindling down to the region of 15 tables running at once. Low and medium stakes tables, on the other hand, are always in good supply and the enterprising player should have no trouble finding a suitable No-limit Hold'em table. Other games are on offer for those looking to broaden their horizons or capitalize on their edge. Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo, and 5 Card Draw are all available for play. Unfortunately, for those looking to spread their wings, it is difficult to find a table at any stakes for these games aside from low-limit Omaha.

The tournament side of the equation is a similar story. Sit and Go ranks start from a very modest $1.00 + $0.20 and increase to the heady heights of $500 + $25. The scheduled multi-table tourneys begin at the same low level but only increase to $100 + $8 for the standard daily varieties. Those looking for greater value should seek out the monthly 'Royal Tournament' where a $1000 + $40 buy-in will give you a shot at the $750,000 guaranteed prize pool. Its smaller brother also runs every Sunday, offering a $150,000 guaranteed prize pool with a $300 + $20 buy-in.

Both tournaments and cash games are quite popular and there are always a lot of Sit and Goes running. Players seeking that immediate tournament fix will be able to quickly satiate their desires at most Sit and Go levels. However, the crowds start to thin out as you approach $100 + 8. The MTT tournaments are slightly less popular, with most fields coming in at around 400-600 players.

Just as with any online poker provider worth its salt, Betsson offers a point system to reward the most diligent players. The system itself is very simple: for every $0.10 raked 0.1 points are awarded. Once accumulated, the points are of limited value; they’re most serviceable when used to clear bonuses. However you are also awarded special freeroll tickets as long as you have earned the requisite amount of points. With 200 in a week you will get a shot at the weekly $2,000 added freeroll, whereas 1000 in one month will allow you to play in the monthly VIP Freeroll with $10,000 added to the prize pool.

Betsson's Software Interface/Usability

The Betsson Poker software comes as a downloadable program which works natively on both Windows and Mac, so compatibility shouldn't be a problem. If you're a linux user or you prefer not to download too many files to your computer, you'll be happy to hear that a java Instant Play interface is also offered, allowing you to play directly in your browser. While this is perfectly useable, we recommend downloading the proper client if you are serious about playing. Once installed, the interface is clean and clear with a pleasant orange and green theme.

After starting up and logging in you are immediately presented with a quick seat function which, with a few clicks of the mouse, will whisk you away to a table. Most of us, however, are more akin to trawling the table list and such a list is on offer once you navigate away from the quick seat screen.

Anyone who has used an OnGame network client before will be familiar with the majority of the layout. Large buttons run across the top of the screen, allowing you to choose between Cash Games and Tournaments. Tabs then divide the different types of poker game and selecting one will reveal all current tables for that particular game. Above the table list, drop down boxes allow you to filter between the style (Limit or No-limit, for example), stakes and table size.

The set-up is practically the same for ‘Tournaments’ as it is for ‘Cash’, with buttons for Regular, Qualifier, Restricted, Specials and All replacing the drop down boxes. The table lists display all the information you have come to expect (name, size, avg. pot size, etc.) in a simple format any online poker player will be accustomed to.

The tables themselves are also reminiscent of the standard OnGame design although, in a nice twist, the ubiquitous 3D PokerRoom avatars have been replaced with newly designed versions. The cards and betting totals are clearly displayed at all times and all the buttons, chat, and check boxes are collected in a shaded area below the table. To build the tension during all-in moves the percentage of a particular hand winning on each street is displayed above the cards. Another useful feature is the small pot size buttons that appear under the betting slider. These enable you to quickly jump to particular fractions of the pot most commonly used as a means of calculating bet size.

Although the maximum amount of tables allowed at one time is four, there is a mini view available for those who like to able to see all the action at once.
