Betfair
Betfair is a one stop shop for online gaming. You can throw a bet down on Seabiscuit, bet on black in roulette, double down on your eleven, and then hit the poker felts, all in a matter of a few minutes and without even breaking a sweat. Over $15 million in bets are placed daily and the site is regularly jammed with people looking to get in on the action. That said, its focus isn’t necessarily poker. However, it means that you’ll always find a lot of players venturing from the sports book into the poker room, similar to what you’d see on a site like Bodog. This means soft cash games that are perfect for smart poker players.
Betfair is dedicated to sending its members to poker tournaments around the world, including the World Series of Poker Europe, which it is the official sponsor of. To win your way in, you’ll have to compete on the site’s virtual felts, which are very low-tech. If you want thrills, look elsewhere. The tables have user names, chip stack sizes, a grey background, a green felt – and that’s it. It’s just you and the cards, which in a way is refreshing if you’re used to flashy avatars and caricatures that wink at you.
Betfair’s customer service is very responsive and can handle any inquiry you throw at them. Phone and e-mail assistance is available and contact information is posted right on the website.
