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. Everything
seems to run very smoothly and i experienced no disconnection problems. The standard settings have avatars at the tables but these can
easily be turned off in the options panal. It is also possible to resize the tables by simply pulling at the corner whilst in play.
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. You can also select your seating position for many games from the
lobby itself as seen in our lobby picture bottom right of this review. Clearly visible buttons and options are intuitive and easy to use
although i did find the design for the chat and information box a little cluttered and difficult to read. This does not affect the
actual game play but does make it hard to keep up with recent hand history.
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. You will rarely have to wait long when signing up for SNG's or waiting for cash tables to fill.
Support -
very good
24/7 telephone and email support are featured. Response times are resonably quick and of good quality. Cash outs and withdrawals are
efficient and fast as is standard with a throughout all Bwin's services.
Summary -
very good
Bwin have made their name as one of the biggest and most dependable European sportsbooks available online. Coupled with the longstanding
Ongame software, they now offer the possibility to play on one of the busiest networks outside of the US with a multitude of ring tables,
SNG's and big money tournaments to suit all buy-in ranges. One account at Bwin will give you access to, not only the Poker Room, but
also the Casino and Sportsbook. This is a fully integrated system.
The three deposit bonus options are fair but not the main reason you would want to play here. Bwin Poker has an ever increasing loyal
following of players which says much about what's on offer at the tables and in their numerous website promotions. Well worth a look.
Extra Information :
To clear a bonus at bwin Poker, you need to collect the required amount of poker points within 60 days. 10 poker points are
required for each bonus dollar and once you have achieved the required amount, the bonus will automatically be placed into your

Example: You need 300 poker points for a bonus worth $30.
