We found the quality of play on the iPoker network is slightly higher than your average European site in some games. But not so high it’s unbeatable. Based on our experience bet365 Poker is a good choice for tournament players of any stake or experience level.
Micro- through medium-stakes tables are usually plentiful in Texas Hold’em and Omaha, but that can change depending on the time of day. We saw lots of daily guaranteed tournaments running around the clock and the live satellite tournaments are great for qualifying for bigger events. If you want to play against only Bet365 Poker players, you can do so on their exclusive Bet365 premium tables.

iPoker’s Jackpot Twister Sit & Gos and Speed Poker games were also a huge highlight for us. The Bet365 poker mobile app is also decent quality and a nice tool for getting some quick SnGs in while on the move.
Our Bet365 account also gives us access to casino games, sports betting, bingo and horse racing. It can, at times, also give you access to live streams of events – but be sure to check the T&Cs for accessing live streams.
BET 365 POKER PROMOTIONS
Firstly, Bet365 offers new players an “open account” bonus (18+ only, Terms &Conditions apply) that varies from time to time. So check the Bet365 promotions page to confirm what the current welcome bonus is. Bet365 poker also had a few promotions for its poker players when we visited. However, this is also subject to change, so we suggest you check the Bet365 poker website for any daily/weekly promotions.
BONUS DETAILS
| OUR BONUS | Amount |

Bet365 Poker Missions
Another nice twist we liked on the standard poker promotions were Bet365 Poker’s missions, which we found in the ‘Missions’ section of the poker client. It had a list of poker missions you could reach playing certain games or tournaments. Prizes and payouts are again subject to terms and conditions.
TOURNAMENTS AND FREEROLLS
Bet365 Poker offers a daily and weekly tournament schedule with guaranteed tournaments throughout the day. There are also usually satellites running for a few live tournament packages. Bet365 poker tournaments don’t usually have much of an overlay and field sizes are modest for the regular weekly tournaments.
In our experience tournament players at Bet365 Poker are average in general but not as abysmal compared to other sites. There will be some competition but it’s definitely not unbeatable. Bet365 Poker doesn’t offer a lot of freerolls but sometimes they have satellites into bigger tournaments.

Bet365 Twister Sit & Gos
The Twister Sit & Gos are iPoker’s version of the super-popular jackpot turbo SnGs and offer prize pools substantially bigger then your buy-in. Once all players (3) are seated at the table, the prize pool multiplier is spun at random. The prizes vary once again so you’ll need to check your potential reward before you play.
Bet365 Poker Premium Steps SnGs
bet365 Premium Steps SnGs are also a great, quick way to try and run up a cheap stake. Premium Steps are played at Turbo Speed and start with three players.
Bet365 Speed Poker
Haven’t tried Bet365’s fast-fold poker variant – Speed Poker yet? It’s worth a shot if you like non-stop action and getting in as many hands as possible. It works just like all the other fast-fold poker variations out there: As soon as you fold your hand, you’re whisked away to a new table with a new hand right away.
No waiting for the whole table to take the whole time bank to fold, no waiting for big long tanks when facing any bet. Just straight up poker with only premium hands at your disposal. It’s great for playing on the Bet365 mobile app, of course, but also the best way to earn a ton of reward points and keep yourself involved in the game at all times.
Bet365 Poker 6+ Holdem
Another nice feature of Bet365 Poker is that it’s one of the few poker sites where we can play 6+ (aka “Short Deck”) Holdem. Short Deck Holdem is blowing up huge on the high-stakes scene. Because with all of the cards under 6 removed from the deck, it has a ton of big hands and tweaks the optimal strategy quite a bit.
You should get your 6+ Holdem game tight now before it blows up in a few years. That way, you’ll have a big edge compared to newbies taking a crack at it for the first time. Read our Short Deck (6+) Holdem rules and strategy guide to help you get started.

SOFT COMPETITION
Play at Bet365 is standard for most sites these days. High-stakes play will be more challenging than the average site but expect the standard high volume of fish at the low and micro stakes. Lots of gamblers can pop over from the casino and sportsbook too.
