Owned by the biggest British sports exchange company, Betfair poker is a member of a group which includes an online casino as well as an online sportsbook. Many of the poker players at Betfair’s smaller stakes tables are gamblers or sports bettors, which means the competition should be pretty loose and the tables should be juicy. That’s by far not all there is to Betfair Poker though.the site offers some excellent poker tournaments, among which the guaranteed prize-pool ones stand out a head and a shoulder above the rest. Betfair gives away around $4 million in guaranteed prize-pools each and every month.
Like the big online poker operations (PokerStars and Full Tilt) Betfair maintains a solid team of in-house professionals. Peter Jepsen, John Tabatabai, Annette Obrestad and Sorel Mizzi play there, and represent the poker room’s interests in various live poker events.

Betfair Poker is not a member of a poker network. Its software is an in-house creation, which means these guys do not have to answer to a big brother policy-wise. That probably explains why they’re able to offer such a generous rakeback deal to their players too. The software features clean and crisp graphics and an easy to navigate main lobby. All the industry standard features and perks are available.
Betfair’s sign-up bonus is a three-version one. There’s a $50, a $500 and a $1,500 offer, targeted at beginners, advanced players and professional players respectively.
