Software -
very good
The software is available as both Java applet and as standard Windows download. The lite version allows people with slower connections
to also play online. There is also a download version as well, which has very nice graphics and some really good features. Performance is
good which means you will suffer very few disconnection or slow down problems. Avatars can be turned on (default) or off and tables resized.
Playability -
good
Takes a little while to adjust when using for the first time but generally intuitive and easy to use. The lobby can feel a bit tricky
for first timers but repeated use will soon alleviate any confusion. Clearly visible buttons and options are intuitive and easy to use. It
is possible to show or hide the large chat and play history areas depending on your needs. In the picture above they are hiden to the right.
Traffic -
very good
Usually plenty of traffic at all limits from tournaments to cash games. Even the lesser known formats such as Omaha and Stud fair
well, especially at peak hours.
Support -
very good
There are both live chat and telephone support 24/7 plus email support, which is reasonably quick and of good quality. Cash outs and
withdrawals are efficient and fast.
Summary -
very good
Betsson Poker comes attached to their Swedish owned sportsbook which offer a huge range of bets amongst all the biggest international
sports. Once you've opened your account, you'll have access to over 2000 betting opportunities each weekend, the betting exchange, the
highly rated Casino and the online poker room. Money can be transferred easily between the betting, casino and poker accounts depending
on your needs.
Most international players will probably have come across an Ongame Network room at some time and it's fair to say that with more than
6 million registered poker players, this really is one of the largest poker networks in the world. I must admit to not being a huge fan
of the software but this is more a style thing than anything else. The Ongame software has been tested and proven over a number of years
and i have to say that Betsson Poker has one of the best looking interfaces i have seen on the network. An additional feature is that
this poker room is also compatible for Linux or Mackintosh users and even gives you the possibility to play in your browser online
without having to download the site first.
All the most popular poker games are available such as Texas Hold'em, 7 Card Stud (and Hi/Lo), 5 Card Draw and Omaha (and Hi/Lo). There
are also a wealth of tournaments every day including at least $10 million in monthly guaranteed prize pools every month and cash freerolls
every day. Check out the attractive homepage which regularly updates it's "News & Events" section with all the latest online promotions
and games.
Betsson Poker is already a major pressence in Scandinavia and is looking to establish even stronger links worldwide. Considering the
complete package on offer here and the reliable structure of it's sportsbook and poker network, i see no reason why they shouldn't have
a long and successful future.
