Bwin Poker

History

One of the original names in the online gambling world, Austrian-based bwin built their business in the online sports betting world. After becoming one of the most popular sports books in the industry, bwin began to expand and added an online casino and poker room to their products.

Today bwin is a part of the world’s largest online gambling company, which have had their shares traded on the London Stock Exchange.

Reputation

Bwin has an incredibly strong reputation in the online gambling industry, well earned after spending many years in operation at the top of the market. The company has a strong emphasis on customer service and above all else, fairness. Players at bwin Poker can be assured of a fair game of poker against players from around the globe. At lower stakes, bwin Poker also enjoys a softer player pool, thanks to the influx of customers from bwin’s sports book and online casino branches looking to try poker out.

Software and Graphics

While bwin Poker does offer some limited instant play and iPhone playing options, the easiest and most secure way to access their network is to download their lightweight software client. This software grants players access to all the games on offer across the bwin network and can be run on both Macs and PCs. Once playing, you’ll be immersed in an incredibly detailed, static 3D environment.

The software allows games to be found quickly and easily. The games are initially categorised as to whether they are Practice Play, SNG, Scheduled Tournaments or Cash Games and are then subdivided based on what stakes are on offer, how busy the table is and the specific kind of poker.

Poker Game Varieties

Bwin Poker offers the most popular varieties of poker in the market, focussing on Texas Hold em, Omaha, and Omaha Hi-Lo. Along with these games, bwin also offers Five Card Draw and Seven Card Stud with all varieties available for play in practice games, SNG tournaments, ring games, and regularly scheduled tournaments. Most varieties of poker are also available with a number of different bet limits, such as No Limit, Pot Limit, or Limit.

Sign-up Bonus and Reward Scheme

Bwin Poker offers a selection of very generous bonuses to players, starting with their sign-up bonus: this is generally around 100% up to $500, although high-stakes players depositing more can gain access to a higher cap. After sign-up, players are able to earn points, gain access to freerolls, and are sent regular re-load bonuses.

All real money players at bwin Poker are also signed up to the b’inside reward scheme. This scheme allows you to collect points based on how much you stake and in turn, earn rewards such as rakebacks, better competition point conversion rates, quicker withdrawals and even real-life rewards like football tickets.
