Betfair review
Launched back in 2000, Betfair is currently known as one of the largest sports exchange operators in the world. On top of the sports betting operation and online casino it runs, it also offers online poker to its customers.
Betfair Poker was launched in 2004, at the peak of the online poker craze. At the time, the operation decided that the right approach demanded it to develop its own software and to stay independent of large poker networks. This independence allowed Betfair to offer generous loyalty deals to its customers for the first 6 years of its existence. As a matter of fact, the loyalty reward market was one of the site’s prime targets. In January, 2013, the site has joined Playtech's iPoker network, one of the largest online poker entities currently in existence. The move to iPoker ushered in several changes, as with it, Betfair have withdrawn from a number of international markets they used to serve.
The move has also resulted in the revamping of the sign-up bonus, which is now a 200% match deal, up to a maximum of $2K. There will also be certain changes in regards to the Betfair loyalty reward system.
The new loyalty system is a lot like the old one. Players earn poker points for generating rage at the cash game tables and for paying tournament fees. These poker points can then be taken to the site’s store and spent on Betfair merchandize, or – even better – traded in for cash. There are a total of 10 VIP levels which determine the amount of poker points players can rack up. The VIP Club also includes benefits like acces to special VIP tournament and freerolls.
As far as promotions go, Betfair now offer a whole bunch of revamped promotions, among which there are $10K speed poker races too, which are bound to be extremely popular with rakeback players.
From July 2013, Betfair accepts players from ALL countries except the following: USA, Australia, Germany, France, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Sudan, China, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Philippines, Estonia, South Africa, Iran and Greenland.
