BET365 POKER REVIEW

SOFTWARE

Bet365 are one of the world’s leading online gambling groups with over 1.5 million customers in 140 different countries. Bet365 Poker uses Playtechs world class gaming platform and are part of the iPoker network. Playtech are the world’s largest publicly traded online gaming software supplier and iPoker are the world's largest online poker network, so it should come as no surprise to learn that we found the software very user friendly, easy to navigate, secure and robust. The lobby is lucid and straightforward, we found it easy to navigate our way around their well structured site, it only took a couple of minutes to register a payment method and we were able to get stuck into some poker action within no time at all. Their software uses Thawte SSL digital certification, which I can tell you as a former computer networking engineer means your money and personal details are secure.

The maximum anmount of characters that can be stored using the player note taking facility is 150, which is reasonable. You're able to view your hand history for the past 60 days, so checking out your previous hands to see if you could have played better does'nt need to be done straight away. Multitablers will be pleased to hear that Bet365 Poker now allow you to play up to 12 resizable tables at a time, so you can really maximise your earnings per hour. Overall, we found Bet365 Poker to be a professional outfit and well worthy of your consideration.

TRAFFIC

We found the traffic to be excellent in most areas of the site, at the time of writing there were over 25,000 players connected to the iPoker network, all of which you can play through Bet365 Poker, so finding the game that's right for you is a doddle. All the Texas Hold'em tables are well stocked with beatable players, on the cash tables, we found Pot Limit Omaha and 7 Card Stud had action up to the $3/6 level, the 5 Card Stud section did'nt have many players the few times we checked, Texas Hold'em was teeming with fish and had action up to the $100/200 tables.

BANKING

Bet365 Poker have a wide range of depositing and withdrawing options including Mastercard and Visa credit cards, Maestro and Visa Electron debit cards, also Neteller, Moneybookers, Click2Pay and good old trustworthy bank transfer. We found withdrawing money via debit card a quick and easy process which allowed us to reinvest our winnings that much quicker.

CUSTOMER SERVICES

During our month long review process of Bet365 Poker, we did'nt need to contact their customer service once, but we tested them out nevertheless. We found their callback service to be timely and reliable, if you don't want a callback their freephone number connects you with an agent very quickly, our questions via email to support@customerservices365.com were answered within the same day and accurately. Best of all, they have a live chat facility which allows you to speak to one of their many support staff. Overall, we could find no faults with the level of the service, which compared to some other online cardrooms, makes for a refreshing change.

COMPETITION

We feel the lower stakes action is worth checking out on both the cash table and multi table tournament sections, there are enough poor players to make turning a profit a realistic proposition for most people. Bet365 don't accept US players, so it's mostly European competition with a significant amount of players from the UK and France. It's a friendly, chatty site and we reckon a lot of the Bet365 sportsbook members also play on their poker site too, such is the low general standard.
