Game Features

Betfred Poker offers the most traditional of poker games: Hold’em, Omaha Hi and Hi/Lo, 7-Card Stud and 5-Card Stud.

There are also beginners’ tables for Hold’em and Omaha High, with stakes from $0.01/$0.02 to $0.50/$1 and lots of practice going on at all times. Waiting lists are long for these tables, so try to catch them off European peak times.

An interesting innovation is the idea of No Disconnection Protection tables, ideal for those with good connections who do not want the All-in protection used against them. These are available for Hold’em, both Omaha Hi and Hi/Lo and 5-Card Stud.

Betfred Poker has plenty of tournaments to choose from, and their Sit & Go offer is particularly attractive. Single-table Sit & Go have 5, 6 or 10 seats, and there are also 2- and 3-table Sit & Gos. Most Sit & Gos are Hold’em Limit, but there are also some in Pot Limit and Limit, as well as Omaha Hi and Hi/Lo in Pot Limit and Limit. Buy-ins range between $0.10 and $1000, so you can definitely find one at the stakes you like. There are also plenty of freerolls, which can be entered for a certain amount of BP (Betfred Poker loyalty points). Standard time between blind raises is 10 minutes, but Betfred Poker also offers Turbo tourneys (4 minutes) and Superturbo tourneys (1 minute).

A very exciting special Sit & Go are the 6, 10 and 12-seat Jackpot Sit & Gos, where you can get an attractive jackpot if you win several of them in a row. For example, Betfred Poker will pay $2,000 to the winner of four consecutive ‘Dirty Dozen Jackpot Sit N Gos’, which have a $2 Buy-In.

Betfred Poker also offers plenty of scheduled tourneys, freerolls, satellites and guaranteeds with buy-ins between $0.50 and $440. Most tourneys are No Limit Hold’em, with some Pot Limit Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo as well. Standard time between blind raises is 10 minutes, with 4 minutes for Turbo and 1 minute for Superturbo tourneys; and there are also “speed” tourneys where the decision time is shorter for faster-paced action. There are several beginners’ tourneys a day, where a skilled new player could win $50 or $100 for free.

Software Features

Betfred Poker's main lobby is average and functional. It has a standard distribution: the games are listed on the left and the full table list in the middle, including name, type, stakes, players, average pot, players to see flop, hands per hour and players waiting. There is a very useful filter, which shows you only what you want by game, limit, stakes, seats, full status, and access (open, restricted, beginners). There is also a quick search tool for ring tables and tournaments.

The site features avatars, fortunately you can turn their voices off if you want. Dealing is fast, the sounds are discreet and appropriate, and checking and folding are silent if you turn the dealer's voice off. A round clock shows the remaining decision time for every player, and the pot size is always on display. You can choose to see your hand value or disable this option. The chat window has several options, but chat can only be used by the players in the game – observers cannot join in.

Betfred Poker has superb multitabling options, with a limit of 16 tables you can play at one time and an option for a reduced display so you can see 4 tables at once. Statistics and hand history are available for the table you are playing, and you can access your entire game history using the “My Account” button. There is also an option to display the hand history locally. You can add player notes, mute a player or add them to your buddy list by clicking on their avatar. Betfred Poker also offers a Find Player feature, so you can locate your favorite fish.

Betfred Poker uses Playtech software, with sophisticated analysis tools to detect collusion and a hi-tech random number generator to ensure fair shuffling at all times. They also use a high-quality encryption system to protect financial data. The Betfred Poker software facilitates customization at the tables. Their abundance of options for table viewing is a plus. And as an exotic extra, Betfred Poker accepts deposits in 16 different currencies!
