It’s true: there’s a
new place for US players to play poker
online. Sports betting and casino
gaming giant BetOnline has opened
up a poker room, BetOnline
Poker,
and is hitting the market by storm.
BetOnline’s management team
has been in the gaming industry since
1991, and the operation has been online
since 1998. It’s a solid company
backed by a track record of positive
reviews – just the right ingredients
for a top online poker room.
If you’re looking for great
software, soft cash games, and easy
deposits for US players, BetOnline
Poker is for you.
BetOnline Poker Sign-Up
Setting up your BetOnline Poker account
won’t take more than 3 minutes.
Simply surf over to the site, choose
to sign up at BetOnline Poker, and
enter your account details right from
your web browser.
Choose your screen name, choose your
password, and voila – you’re
ready to make your first deposit.
Anyone can get an account, including
players from the USA. It really couldn’t
be any easier.
BetOnline Poker Games
What’s your game? Holdem? Omaha?
If so, you’re in luck: BetOnline
Poker spreads both games in a variety
of different forms.
If you’re a Holdem junkie,
you can play fixed limit, no limit,
and pot limit at BetOnline. There
are three different table sizes available:
heads-up, 6-max, and full ring.
If you prefer Omaha, you can play
the game in either Hi or Hi/Lo forms.
The most popular limit structure is
pot limit. Like Holdem, you can choose
from heads-up, 6-max, and full ring
tables at BetOnline Poker.
Cash game stakes begin at $0.01/0.02
for the micro-grinders and climb to
$50/100 for the nosebleed junkies.
Whatever your limit, you’ll
find a game at BetOnline Poker.
BetOnline Poker Tournaments
If you’re into tournament poker,
you’ll feel right at home at
BetOnline. The site is unique in that
it spreads a variety of games in non-standard
structures; even if you play 24/7,
you’ll never get bored.
Here’s just a sampling of the
tournament types spread at BetOnline
Poker:
- Standard freezeouts
- No Limit Holdem Rebuys
- Holdem and Omaha 6-max tourneys
- Turbo tourneys
- Turbo 6-max tourneys (not for
the faint hearted!)
- $200 guaranteed DAILY freerolls
The average field at BetOnline Poker
is 50-200 entrants, so there’s
plenty of action. If you’re
a tournament player looking for a
home, it’s a good place to be.
BetOnline Poker Traffic
You’ll find around 1,000 players
logged into BetOnline Poker at any
given time. The player pool is made
up of mostly fish, which is one of
the main reasons to give the site
a try.
Since BetOnline’s main business
is casino gaming and sports betting,
the vast majority of active users
are there to gamble. That means the
player pool is mostly filled with
people who can’t tell a full
house from a high card.
In other words, it’s a gold
mine if you’re any good at playing
cards.
Note that BetOnline Poker is aggressively
promoting its poker room, and the
player pool is growing by the day.
So if you want to take advantage of
the high fish-to-regular ratio, get
in while the going is good.
BetOnline Poker Software
Poker software doesn’t have
to suck; it’s just that most
online poker rooms choose to skimp
on the basics. Not BetOnline Poker – this
is one of the fastest and most user-friendly
pieces of software online gaming has
ever seen.
The first thing you’ll notice
is that the poker room operates like
a well-oiled axle; every action is
smooth, and every event in its right
place. No lag, no frozen buttons,
and no stuck pots. That’s more
than can be said about the software
at most online poker rooms.
You’ll also appreciate the
minimalist design at BetOnline Poker.
Buttons are prominently displayed,
brightly colored, and clearly labeled.
You don’t have to scour the
screen for bet amounts or guide your
eyes through mountains of meaningless
graphics here. It’s all right
in front of you, which makes playing
a pure pleasure.
If you’re a multi-tabler, you’ll
like the software features built right
in to the client. Through BetOnline
Poker’s software, you can:
- Arrange your tables in real time
with just one click of the mouse
- Analyze detailed statistics on
your opponents and the game generally
- Quickly review past hands graphically,
thanks to a built-in hand history
replayer
- Switch between a simple table
view and a modern table view
