All these bonuses can only be unlocked when you reach enough player points for the particular bonus you chose when you signed up. These work as follows: earn 400 player points(pp) within 90 days and receive $50 (bonus code: BRONZE), earn 2000pp within 90 days and receive $250 (bonus code: SILVER), earn 4000pp in 90 days and receive $500 (bonus code: Gold), earn 8000pp in 70 days and receive $1000 (bonus code: PLATINA) earn 30,000pp in 70 days and receive $2,500 (bonus code: DIAMOND).

GAMES

Betsafe Poker has a lot of players online, with decent traffic day or night. You should be able to find a table to suit your needs with Limit Hold ‘em games starting at $0.05/$0.10 and beyond.  You can also find other perennial classics, such as Omaha and 7-card stud. There are also some nice Double or Nothing Sit’n Goes where the competition is not intense and is perfect for players on a budget. They also have a plethora of 5 handed tables, which means if you like to play short hand i.e. aggressively then Betsafe Poker is the place for you.

A nice touch is the ability to choose a seat from the lobby, which is easy to navigate and does its job.

WE SAY...

'What can I say, I was really impressed with Betsafe Poker, what with the large amount of tables catering for every level of players budgets and skill. If you like to play short handed then the 5 seat tables will provide a great stomping ground for you to try out some agreesive tactics, but be warned the limit games do attract sharks, so know what you’re getting into before you play.

One of the few frustrating things about betsafe poker was the speed of the software is quite slow but on the plus hand this means that it puts a lot of players who play professionally. If you’re starting out I would recommend playing at their low stakes tables where you won’t be out of your depth.

The multi table option was decent although not as advanced as some other online poker sites due to their OnGame software. I personally really enjoyed the 3D character you can choose for yourself, giving the game a deeper level of engagement, as you see all the characters sat around the table.'
