Bet365 some time ago decided to open an online poker room. They of course profit from their already established sports betting and online casino branches which certainly is a main reason as to why their site already had a lot of poker players straight from the start. Together with that come a lot of loose games - especially in the lower limits - as there are quite a few players who come here from the sports betting or casino and simply want to relax and pass some time playing some poker. If you have a good basic poker knowledge and some experience you should have no troubles earning some money in the lower limits.
Bet365 Poker Promotions and Bonuses
The bonus offered by Bet365 definitely must be one of the best in the online poker business. You will receive a very fair 100% bonus up to $500 that is easily cleared in increments of $10. You will also be happy to know that they recently have improved their loyalty and point system. Now all players will earn the same amount of Merit Points regardless of their VIP level and the rewards have been adjusted accordingly. The whole system is more transparent now and while you may not earn more points with a higher VIP level you can rest assured that Bet365 does take care of loyal and dedicated players. They reward you by letting you take advantage of better deals and offers as well as providing you with tokens for special big money tournaments for higher VIP levels.
While bet365 will reward active and dedicated loyal players they also take good care of their new players. If you open an account at bet365 you can sign up for 5 chances at the $2,500 Beginners' Races on bet365. How do they work? You simply play at the beginners' tables, i.e. at low stakes tables. Only stakes up to $0.25/$0.50, £0.25/£0.50 and €0.25/€0.50 count towards the race. Also it is not about the rake you manage to bring in but merely about the number of raked hands that you play. So even players new to the game of poker have a good chance of ending in the top 100 of the leaderboard. Top position pays out a bonus of $150 all the way down to $10 for places 61 to 100.
Another promotion aimed at new and long time players with a mediocre bankroll is the weekly €500 Freeroll. In order to be able to participate in this Wednesday event you only need to earn 10 Merit Points the week before by playing on a pound currency and/or euro currency cash table. If you qualify for the freeroll you will be credited with a token on the day of the €500 freeroll.
Bet365 Poker Features
The poker software used by Bet365 is reliable and clearly arranged. The website offers a lot of background information in many different languages including a poker school. If you already have a Bet365 account for their casino or sports bets section you can use this existing account in order to play poker - and vice versa! Despite the fact of Bet365 being a big company which is not specialised in poker alone, their support is excellent and very dedicated.
