Overview
Bet 365 Poker was established in 2001 and is considered to be a quality
gaming poker site. Bet 365 is a well-known name that provides Sports
Betting, Financials, Casino, Bingo and games as well as poker. All poker
play, casino games and bingo games are regulated and licensed by the
government of Gibraltar. This is a big site with big tournaments played
online every month. Players from around the world compete against each other
and the site is very busy with traffic. Players from the USA cannot use the
Bet 365 Poker site. Guaranteed prize money of at least $20,000,000 is up for
grabs every month in scheduled tournaments also making this site popular and
frequently used.
Bet 365 Poker uses Playtech software, which many regular visitors to poker
sites will already be familiar with. The graphics are clean and simple and
also functional but not the most stunning of graphics. However a lot of
people prefer an uncomplicated look to their poker playing sites and just
want to get on with the games. If you prefer to just get down to it then
this software will certainly suffice. The software allows for making player
notes, there’s a chat feature, records of player last action, hand mucking,
game history and other basic poker stats and info. The lobby features all
the up to date stats.

A huge variety of games are available at the Bet 365 website as would be
expected, including favourites such as Texas Hold’em Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, 5

poker include both tournament leader boards and cash races. There are also
Jackpot Sit and Gos for those who like their poker fast paced – look out for
the Dirty Dozen, Rio, Maul and Fort Knox tournaments.

Poker site there is a VIP loyalty scheme with four levels of VIP loyalty
