Betonline Poker

The BetOnline poker room was developed by the  popular Betonline sportsbook with their own software!  Of course BetOnline Poker is open to US players and they seem to be committed to staying open to US customers. BetOnline is based out of Panama City in Panama and is regulated by their government, but not the US government yet.

BetOnline Poker is part of the BetOnline brand that has been online since 1991 and includes an online sportsbook, online poker room, online casino and online horse betting. BetOnline Poker does not offer a wide range of poker games, but it offers favorites such as Texas hold’em and Omaha at a range of stakes. There are multiple bonuses, promotions and tournaments available, offering plenty of opportunities for winning extra cash. A range of deposit and withdrawal options are available and customer support is accessible 24/7. It is a safe place to play for real money as their have not been any real complaints by players.

Software and Games

The software is available for download for PC players, as well as for Mac players, making it accessible to more people. The software is fast and offers features such as note taking on other players, real-time statistics and table re-sizing to fit your screen. BetOnline Poker offers cash games, multi-table tournaments and single table sit ‘n go tournaments. Limit and no limit multi-table tournaments and single table tournaments are available. Ring games include Texas hold’em and Omaha at a range of stakes. There are plenty of fish at the lower stakes tables since a good portion of their poker players comes from their sportsbook.

Competition in the Poker Room

I’m playing  poker while writing this review and I can say that the serious poker player is definitely not the normal type of player you will run into at BetOnline.ag. For that reason alone the competition is extremely soft just about anytime you sit down at a table to play. Since the website has been a sportsbook site for so long, many of those regular players wander into the poker room after getting a big win from betting on sports. These are not serious players and often are very easy to spot at the table. With just a little patience these players usually give away there bankrolls and you could really make some hefty money when these players join the table.
