Betfair may not have the flashiest graphics and huge traffic of other sites but it more than makes up for it with a hefty bonus and large supply of fish to take money from.

Graphics and Software

Betfair’s software is pretty basic when you compare it to other poker rooms. There are no avatars available, just names, which can make it a little difficult for a few people who rely on avatars to remember player behaviour.

Having said that, there is a nice coloured card feature which is pretty useful and you don’t see at many other places.

You can multi up to 15 tables and resize the windows.

Also, you do get giid stats, note taking and hand history facilities and a pretty top notch lobby as well.

Deposit Options

VISA & MasterCard, NETeller, InstaCash & InstaDebit, EcoCard, Citadel, FirePay, Moneybookers, UseMyBank, wire transfer, bank draft and personal check.

Game Variety

There’s your average variety of games, nothing spectacular here: Texas Holdem, Omaha (Hi, Hi-Lo), Seven Card Stud (Hi, Hi- Lo). If you’re on a budget then you can find your micro limit games here too.

Like every other poker room, there is some tournament action here but it is nothing spectacular.

Traffic

The traffic is mainly European and on the Holdem and Omaha tables.

Strength of Competition

The best thing about Betfair is that there are a ton of fish here. Betfair advertise to the mass markets so that means lots of noobs and loose play. Also a lot of their players come over from sports betting (Betfair is the world’s largest sports betting exchange) so that always means plenty of fish!

Titan Poker is a great site for a few reasons.

Not only are there many fish here coming from the casinos but the bonus is also incredibly generous. Big bonus and fish – get in while you can!

Graphics and Software

Pacific Poker’s crowd is not exactly demanding because many of them are used to playing casinos.

Thus the software is not bad but not outstanding either.

For instance, multi player is only around 4 or 5 tables max.

You can have 3D avatars though and some nice card designs which not all rooms have, plus different backgrounds.

Standard note taking and stats functions are available.

Some unique differences are that there is also a java client available (can be run on any computer with java) plus there is a keyboard shortcut for nearly everything which is great for those who hate the mouse.

Deposit Options
