Editorial Review
Betsson is one of the most serious and trustworthy poker rooms on the internet. They’re a Swedish company licensed in the UK, and as a direct consequence of being an industry-leader in security and support issues, they get great traffic too. Not only do they operate the online poker room we’re about to review, they have an online casino, sportsbook, and Scratch (virtual scratch cards, betting exchange, etc.).
Being a Swedish company, some of the traffic they get is, of course, of Scandinavian origin, which is not exactly good for the quality of the games. Scandinavian players tend to be excellent at poker for some reason, and excellent players mean no fish and exceptionally tight games. Contrary to other Scandinavian poker rooms though, Betsson has an ace up its sleeve regarding the quality of traffic. Many players from Betsson’s other enterprises (the online casino and sportsbook) drop in often for a game of poker. Obviously, these guys are into gambling, but they’re quite ill prepared to take on experienced poker players. The best thing about online casino players is, that the casino games they’re used to, require altogether different qualities in a player. They may figure poker is gambling too, but in fact, the same things that make a casino player a winner can spell doom for even the most generous bankrolls in online poker. The bottom line is, casino players make extremely poor poker players and thus, Betsson gets a most welcome and quite constant infusion of fresh fish from their Online casino and sportsbook.
This is the reason why we can safely say there’s value in them there games at Betsson. Because of the fact that they’re members of a large poker network, player shortages are not a problem for Betsson either.
As far as their support system goes, Betsson are definitely industry leaders and a role model for all poker rooms out there to follow. One can talk to a human operator pretty much any time of the day, and that is really something we can respect in an online poker room.
Betsson Poker Games
By virtue of their software, gameplay is always smooth at Betsson, and because of the good traffic they get, action is hot at all tables too. Small and micro limit Holdem are the most popular, of course, but the room also offers Omaha Hi-Lo and 7-Card Stud. Limits range from $0.5/1 to $50/100. Even though small-to-medium limits are the most popular, high rollers, too, will find enough action at Betsson.
Betsson Poker Bonus
Betsson Poker Bonus
Get 200% Sign Up Bonus up to $2000 for New Players
Betsson is a company that truly values player-loyalty. Their promotions system reflects this mentality. It is crafted in a way that it is enticing-enough for new players, yet in the same time it rewards loyalty. The first-signup bonus is generous to say the least: new players get a 200% match on their first deposit up to $2000 (most poker rooms will only give you 100%). While playing at Betsson, you will generate poker points. These poker points will be used to redeem the above bonus, (10 such points are needed for every $1 of the bonus) so obviously the more and the faster you play (you have 60 days to unlock your bonus) the more money you will have to play poker with.
On top of the bonus, as you generate points you become eligible for different promotions and freerolls. If you manage to rack up 200 PPs/week, (which is not difficult at all to achieve) you’ll gain entry to a weekly freeroll with a $2000 guaranteed prize-pool. If you’re a good multi-table player and generate 1000 PPs over a month, you’re entered in the monthly $10,000 guaranteed freeroll.
* Note - You must claim Betsson bonus no more than 60 days after making the deposit.
Betsson Poker Software
The Betsson software will allow you play multiple tables (up to a max of 8 tables simultaneously) in order to be able to generate poker points faster.
At the end of the day, all we can say about Betsson is, that it’s a very solid and trustworthy poker room in every respect. Customer support and actual gameplay are just as top-notch as their promotions and bonus systems.
