Betsafe Poker Review

Betsafe Poker is mostly played in US dollars (like most online poker sites), but naturally you can deposit and withdraw funds using your £ pound accounts without any hassles. Both PC and Mac compatible downloads are offered.

Games : Of course there’s regular Hold’em, as well as Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, 7 Card Stud and 5 Card Draw. And then there’s Hold’em BlackJack – yes, it’s poker and blackjack combined into a unique new game, definitely worth a try.

Tournaments : Betsafe have a massive number of guaranteed tournaments on offer, in fact every month there are over $15,000,000 in guaranteed tournaments available. The Royal Tournament takes place each Saturday with a guaranteed $18,000 and just $10+$1 buy-in. Saturday’s also feature the Grand Prix event with $60,000 guaranteed, qualify for the event in daily satellites as low as $3+$0.40. The Sunday $100,000 Guaranteed is always a big event, but the weekly Championship can’t be beat – with a guaranteed $250,000 prize pool, and satellite qualification from as little as $1+$0.20.

Sit and Go’s : Betsafe Poker have some interesting twists on regular SnG events, for example the ‘King of the Hill’ is a 3-stage SnG with the winner taking home a cool $2,500. ‘Double or Nothing’ is an interesting Sit’n'Go variation offering the chance to double up, while ‘Coinflip’ is the ultimate in quick games – One hand – All In! Or for an ultra-fast but with a little more skill, try a ‘Mad Tilt’ game – starting with 100 chips and blinds at 10-20.

Loyalty Program : Every time you play a cash game or tournament you’ll be earning Player Points in Betsafe’s VIP program, appropriately named “Cash is King”. Each month you can convert your Player Points to bonus dollars and cash. The number of Player Points you’ve earned during the month determines your membership level in the program, and this influences the benefits you’ll receive. Members at the first level, Silver, start with a Cashback rate of 8-12%, while Platinum level members receive up to 16-20% Cashback. There’s also an additional Diamond Elite level for frequent players and high-rollers, entry to this membership level is based on the previous 12 months play and qualifies the player for a massive 30-40% Cashback.
