Bet365 Poker is a “network skin” which is part of the PrimaPoker Network, with its shared player database. Prima Network has grown quickly in 2005 and now has well over 10,000 players online at peak time and several thousand off peak. Bet365 Poker is operated by Bet365, one of the largest bookmakers in the United Kingdom. This ensures the highest integrity rating combined with a generous $100 sign up bonus on the first deposit ($50 minimum deposit) and thereafter you receive $10 for every 50 raked hands played (a raked hand is where you have contributed to a hand where the rake is a minimum of 25 cents). Bet365 has an exclusive $5,000 freeroll which does not require any raked hands played and is open to all Bet365 players whether you have deposited or not.

The software has been improved lately, but still leaves some room for improvement. On the positive side, there are many very juicy and aggressive games, which is good both for the action lover and the advanced players looking for a good hourly return. With the generous promotions and much larger player volumes, Royal Vegas Poker has become one of the market leaders in online poker entertainment.

Very basic table layout. No player avatars and no options feature to set up your individual player preferences and there is only limited sound (just when cards being dealt). There is a time bar which is now much quicker, actually too quick for some. However, this ensures relatively fast paced games. If loose games are what you are looking for and not too worried about fancy graphics and functionalities, Royal Vegas Poker is definitely of interest.

Bet365 Poker (Prima Poker) ring game traffic is quite high. The ring game traffic at peak times is around 3,000 players. Fairly limited game variety. However, the action tends to be loose and fast. A lot of short-handed tables (max. 6 players) and plenty of high limit tables.

Bet365 Poker's multi-table tournaments have improved greatly in 2005. It can now rival the top poker rooms. Plenty of freerolls, guaranteed prize pool tournaments and qualifiers to the large hi-value poker tournaments. There is good action throughout the day with several thousand tournament players logged on most of the day. Lots of Sit and Go tournaments as well. There is something for every taste.
