Bet365 Poker.com Overview
has recently joined the iPoker network. This has increased their traffic and action, making it competitive with the largest networks today. Unfortunately, they are unwilling to accept customers from the United States.
All their games offer a wide range of limits with particular emphasis on small stakes Sit & Go tables. The site offers the range of typical stakes for No-limit Hold’em, Pot-limit Hold’em and Limit Hold’em. Also available are: Limit, Pot-limit and No-limit Omaha Hi and Omaha Hi/Low; Limit 7 Stud; and Limit 5 Stud. There are turbo versions of all Hold’em games, Sit & Go games and Ring games, as well as Heads-up versions of all varieties. Bet365 also offers satellites to many European tournaments. Excellent step Sit & Go tournaments with great cash payouts can likewise be found. The player base is reasonable but very European, which means there are times when the site is quiet.
One great thing about new accounts at Bet365 Poker is they are granted "protected status" for the first 90 days. This means that they can access the 'Beginners Only' tables from the poker lobby not just for Hold'em games but also Pot-limit Omaha, 7 card Stud, as well as all the game types Bet365 offers. These beginner tables are a great way for new players to practice and find their favorite game without having to worry about risking too much money. Not only that, but beginners also get access to two ‘Beginners Only’ $50 freerolls everyday.
Bet365 offers a VIP Scheme that runs off of Merit Points. Merit Points, which determine a player's VIP level, are earned by playing in cash games and tournaments. Five levels make up the VIP Scheme: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and the exclusive Diamond Club. While monthly Merit Point accumulation determines what level you qualify for, admission into the Diamond Club is by invitation only. Bet365 will hand pick those players that have proven themselves and who will benefit from exclusive offers and privileges.
Top-notch players aren't the only ones that receive special treatment at Bet365. Newcomers will be greeted with a warm welcome. Players that make a mere $10 minimum first time deposit will be eligible to play in weekly $1000 freerolls. Those that place within the top 100 of the four $1000 freerolls (during their first month) will be invited to play in a monthly $2000 freeroll. Newcomers also get access to special ‘Beginners Only’ tables and two freerolls within their first 90 days.
Bet365 Poker.com Software Interface/Usability
requires a download to run. The interface is excellent, perhaps one of the best. The emphasis is on simplicity and the ability to play multiple tables on one screen without overlap is an excellent feature of the site. While it doesn’t have the attractive 3D graphics of some other rooms, for practical use and multi-table play Bet365Poker must be considered one of the best sites.
Bet365 Poker offers up-to-date and extensive details on each table that you select. With a click you can see details on the number of players seeing the flop, chip stacks, average pot size, and the number of hands per hour. This is very useful when looking for good tables.
Bet365Poker.com Poker Room Action
Most players at this site can be found at the micro limit Sit & Go tables and ring game tables (especially Hold’em). However, there are usually active tables for all games, except at the very highest stakes. A player can open up to 16 tables and games don’t take too long to fill up. The small stakes multi-table tournaments and freerolls attract large numbers of people. The higher priced games are still quite active and guaranteed prize tournaments attract good (although not huge) fields, meaning they are competitive but not too difficult to get into the money. Play Sit-n-go's and achieve a certain number of consecutive wins, and you will win a Jackpot prize in addition to the tournament prizes.
offers numerous promotions including a monthly ‘Tournament Leaderboard Challenge’ where all tournament players compete for a share of a $2,750+ Prize Pot, with the monthly winner also getting a seat to the annual Grand Final. There is also a regular cash leaderboard promotion where winners share a monthly $1,000 prize pot as well as a seat to the annual Grand Final.
Bet365Poker's Ease of Game, Ease of Making Money, Fish Rating
may not have quite the numbers of some of the largest sites but it is improving. Despite this, there are many calling stations with passive, loose players at most games and levels. Even at 100nl a plentiful supply of fish can be found swimming. Unlike some sites where certain levels of the game have become very rocky, that is not really the case here. Tables typically consist of a few rocks and the rest fish with a few good players pushed in. Often the post-flop play of many players at this site is poor, not their pre-flop play.
Bet365Poker.com Bonuses and Promotions
offers a pretty nice bonus in amount and percentage. By signing up through FTR, you will receive am exclusive First Time Deposit Bonus of 200% up to $600! In addition to the bonus, you will also receive a ticket into a special freeroll. As is the same with most signup bonuses, you have to earn it by playing real money games at their poker room and collecting Merit Points. For every 1,200 Merit Points earned they will release a $10 bonus up to a maximum of $600, as long as your first deposit was $300 (for the max). You earn multiple points based on the rake and the higher the limits you play the easier it is to clear (this may be tough for small stakes). To earn Merit Points even faster, play in the special ticket freeroll where 100,000 Merit Points make up the prize pool.
Accumulation of Merit Points will also determine a player's level in Bet365's VIP Scheme: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and the invitation-only Diamond Club. Players earn more privileges (such as cash rewards) the higher they climb in the chart.
As stated in the Overview, all new players get access to two ‘Beginners Only’ freerolls and ‘Beginners Only’ cash tables during their first 90 days.
In addition to all of those great offers Bet365 runs various other promotions for players to take advantage of. See below for all the latest promotions.

Bet365 Poker.com Customer and Technical Support
Technically, we have found had no problems with this site. One slight drawback of Bet365 is that if you wish to change the way in which money is deposited or removed from your account, your account must be empty. This is particularly annoying when you have a few spare cents left in it. Customer support is very good and prompt with clear, easy to follow instructions. Bet365 Poker offers worldwide telephone assistance as well as live chat, email, post and fax services.
