Terrible Players, Easy bonus

I enjoyed playing at Betfair. I thought the players were subpar and just there to gamble really. I found very loose action. The software leaves a bit to be desired. I don't really like the button placement. And the site went down a couple of times while I was playing. I enjoyed my time at Betfair though and would recommend it to others.

Somewhat unimpressed with Betfair, to be honest.
In their defence, the software was bug-free and ran well, and there were always games available to join at the limit I wanted (as long as it was Hold 'em...).
However, the software was ugly, clunky and poorly designed. Player quality was relatively poor, although Aggressive players will struggle here, as the locals will NOT be pushed out of a pot, and bad beats are a way of life at Betfair. Somewhat unusually, the standard of the SnGs is slightly higher than that of the ring games, and the bad beats may be a little less prevalent there. Also, you get quite a lot of points for tournament entries, so if you're a tournament player, it's worth a look I guess.
All in all, Betfair isn't the worst site out there, just don't expect anything other than the vanilla-flavoured bog standard poker-room-by-numbers and you won't be disappointed.

Hello there. My experience with Betfair is fairy not much interesting. Its not a bad one, but not a good either. I couldn't use my pokertracker, so it changed a lot in my game. There are many bad players ( even worse than me :D ), so i did make some profit.
Overally, im not goiong to play there any soon. Thx for your points and opportunity to get in touch wit new casino.
Have a nice day, Mahut.

I was surprised how easy it was to get the points needed to collect the bonus. I doubted I would get it but after less that 2 weeks with one hour of playing each day I had reached the points needed for the bonus. Great!
the best thing with betfair is to me the resizable interface. You can make your poker tables as big or small as you wish fitting loads of tables on your screen. I havent tried or than 5 but that's more than enough for me anyway.

Betfair is using their own software which needs some time getting used to it.
The players are really weak in there. Seems that there are a lot of people trying poker for the first time.
The bonus is very easy to clear.
Only one thing is negative through my eyes.
Your account can get locked very fast and you need to send them a verification of your identity and residental address before you can go on playing!

I liked the site. It wasnt anything fancy, but it also didn't miss anything. The level of players was quite average IMO. But there seemed to be a wild wild night at weekends. Maybe I just happened to witness tables going loco at 2 different saturday nights. It was actually my first steps in NL world after a FL start of my poker career, so maybe it just felt grazy cause of that. Anycase, I doubled-tripled my roll at both times :)
I also liked the possibility to resize the tables to any size I wanted. The bonus is easy to achieve even in 10NL-25NL. I used mostly 10NL if I recaal correctly. I recommend to all bonuswhores.

I played NL HE 25/50. The software is not the best, although multi-tabling is easy. The traffic is quite low, so you can´t play more than 3 tables at the same time. The opponents are bad.

I don`t like this room at all. The Microgaming soft is very bad and it`s very hard to play there for players who prefer multitabling. You can find there a lot of "fishes" who would call you with bottom pair so be careful with C-bets. Besides a lot of cons this is extremely easy to clear this bonus.

The Betfair bonus is pretty easy to clear even in the small limits, it took me only a couple of evenings in NL25 to get the required points. The software is not so good and somewhat confusing in the beginning.

I was amazed. I played just one evening and the next day checked my point balance to see how close I was. As it turned out I had actually played more than enough to finish the requirements.
The players there are so loose. During my visit I had pocket aces a total of 5 times.....didn't win with them once. Not because I was trying to slow play, but because half of the table wants to play the pot even when its raised.
I was lucky to make a profit there, I did get a lock on the best hand a couple of times and got payed off very well when I did.
Highly recomend this room as a quick bonus, but expect some bad beats.

1) The players on Betfair are very loose!
2) The players on Betfair call down very light!
3) The action is good, cash-outs are easy, and the PokerSavvy bonus completes in a day or so. Overall I recommend this room!

The software is a little bit strange at first sight and it seriously lacks some useful features. The opponents are weak but sometimes you run into some sharks and realise it too late. I played NL50 and cleared the bonus in two days so it is a really easy bonus.

Betfair was really easy bonus to complete. It took me 2 days in NL25 tables to clear. I give Betfair 4 out of 5 stars. 1 star is missing from full 5 because of the software and graphics. In my opinion they were absolutely horrible. But it wasn't problem because bonus was easy to clear and opponents were unbelievably fishy. This is bonus I can really recommend!

I think Betfair bonus is one of the easiest bonus to clear. Even in the NL10 level. Software is not the best one. And multitable playing is not possible with the old computers, because it takes so much of your computer power. The client looks very nice, and its easy to follow what's happening in the tables. And the best thing, while you are clearing your bonus is that you can easily double up your initial deposit because of the poor quality of the players. Betfair is a good starting point for the new low-limit players.

I enjoyed playing Betfair. The software has no avatars or pictures of chairs, which I found refreshing and clear. I played 0.50/1 Limit Holdem, and you can get to the bonus reasonably quickly this way.
Competition is mostly drunken Brits and aggressive Scandinavians.
Main gripe is the number of tables. There are not enough limit players to keep tables running all of the time, so I spent a lot of time on waiting lists.

This was one of the fastest bonuses i cleared. I got the points done in two days. The game selection on cash tables was quite nice. There was enough low level short handed nl tables to choose from and the players werent that great either. By 4 tabling and playing some sng tournaments I got the bonus done in one weekend @ nl10-25.
The trouble was with my registration. I had messed something in my signup, but by help of pokersavvy staff and betfair affiliate manager everything got sorted out and points are now on my account. It took a week extra to recieve the points, but it's good to know that both supports worked perfectly.

Probably the best pokersavvy bonus for micro limit players, over 300% rakeback. There are many bad players playing in Betfair. I will play more in there in the future.
Negative thing is that there are so few players at the same time. Sometimes you really have to wait for them.

The promotion was easy to clear, took me 3 days 2-tabling NL50 and didn't even play much during those days. But I actually didn't like the software, it was very different from other poker room software. The opponents were mostly very easy to beat, because they called pot size bets with overcards practicully. But therefore many "bad beats" happen because of the soft competition. On any other software I would be thrilled to continue playing, but this software made me cashout as soon as possible, because it was so bad, in my opinion.

The software was horrible. Didn't like it at all. It was good to minimize the playing window, cuz' I have a pretty small monitor. That was probably only good thing on the software.
Players that were there was awesome. So much fishes that you couldn't catch them all. Sometimes I couldn't understand what those idiots were doing. Ofc. there's always some regular player who bust you out every hand, so try to avoid them.
About the bonus, it was easy to clear at NL10/NL20 stakes.

Betfair poker room was quite nice place to play in. The only major downside was that there were quite few players there. A major upsides were the software and the leaderboards which they have for various stakes and game types. The leaderboards gave the playing an additional excitement as you could see (and be seen) how you were doing by looking the leaderboards. They also pay a monthly prize for the best ten players in each leaderboard. Nice!

At Betfair Savvypoints are earned easily. At the Nl50$ tables it took me only a few days of casual play to fullfill the requirements. The players are bad so you will earn some money and get horrible badbeats.
The software is functional but is designed in ugly colours. The support is good and the cashout speed was also ok.
Betfair points are only updated one time a day between 3h-4h at night (Europeen Time)
I can recommend this room to all Microlimits players who want to start with Savvy.

The reason I played at Betfair was the had an very easy bonus, which is great. There are a lot of fishes here! The support is good and the cash-out takes less then 12 hours. The bonus only took me a couple of hours. The reason Betfair isn't getting 5 stars from me is that the client was very ugly, but I recommend the bonus to all Poker-Savvy players!

My trip to Betfair was a really profitable experience! The room is easy to use, and it has a pretty nice look. The only problem was that there are not that many players, so they didnt have big guarantee tournaments running all day, but the cash tables were fine. Getting the 250 points for the bonus was more than easy.

I think the competition in betfair was poor. And savvybonus was easiest to clear in pokersavvy. It took about 5 hours playing 3x NL50 6-max tables. I recommend this to everyone, its almost like free money. The reason why I didnt give 5 stars was their ugly ugly ugly, absolutely disgusting software. It is the worst software I´ve ever used.. If you need to change $100 to $300-400 this is the place for you!!!

Competition is very soft on this site, while clearing the bonus I made a $100 extra profit from the players there.
The SavvyPoints itself clear very fast, it only took me 2 days in the low limits (SH) to clear the Points.
I highly recommend the site, it was my easiest site to get Savvy Points on.
One negative aspect was, that betfair hadn't tracked correctly me to Savvy, although I downloaded through the link and entered the bonus code. After some telephone chats with their support they finally tracked me to Savvy and the points came quiet fast then.
Especially for micro to low-limit players, betfair is a fantastic opportunity to accumulate SavvyPoint fast.

Hello
Betfair Poker room was very easy to clear on NL 0.2/0.5 level and playing a few tournaments. Everything was working fine, not any problem. There was only one negative point, you cant see your Betfair points in table, those are able to see only in "My account" internet site. Cash table are very popular, a lot of players. I can recommend to everyone who needs easy points. Money transfer was easy and fast. Great Site!

I found the players at betfair to be some of the loosest on the internet so this was another great promotion. Even though this was a contributed rake promotion it seemed to go really quickly. The only down side would be the traffic volume at the times I can play late evening in central canada. That all said this is a very profitable bonus, it does take a few hands to get used to the crazy aggression though.

I don't like the software at Betfair but it is really easy to win against the many weak players at NL10 and NL20 HE.

But the software sucks. I never even found out how to rebuy without leaving the table.

This was my first bonus with pokersavvy, and it was easy, fast, and also pretty fishy. I was playin micro limits NL10 and NL20, and it was very fishy there, Top pair 2kicker or mid pair was a reason for some to call all-ins. I didnt like the tournaments and the sngs there though, because there is not that much action, and the buyins are not very variable. All in all, its a great site to make money at for a cash game player, but not very good for a tournament player.

There are LOTS of fishy opponents on Betfair poker. They call big raises with cards like 103s or trash like that. But, in fact, if you are doing good, playing with such opponents is quite profitable! The software is not very comfortable, but it's not hard to get used to it. I liked graphics overall.

My computer was really busy since their poker client uses so many system resources, so I couldn't multi-task or use my computer for anything else while playing at Betfair. Besides that, it was a fast-clearing bonus playing at $25 max buy-in no-limit tables. Took about 10 hours of playing. There are a lot of fish at Betfair, I recommend this bonus!

There were a few things I liked about Betfair, but there was also one thing that ruined it all. The competition was very soft and there was great number of very loose players. This means big pots and big variance but in the long run a fairly good player should be able to make profit. Another good thing about Betfair was their fast customer support and speedy money transactions. On the downside their software was really bad. Playing at three tables at the same time was enough to make the software stall and made playing painful. Also, the graphics are dull and offer nothing special.

I have never cleared a bonus this fast. The needed points accumulated very fast. Betfair's software didn't like my computer as it used 100% of my CPU all the time, but at least I could still play. There were a lot of fish playing at $25 max buy-in no-limit Hold'em, therefore you'll suffer a lot of bad beats since they draw with almost anything but in the long run that's ideal. The SavvyPoints bonus itself was very easy to get and I would recommend it to anyone, even to those who play micro-stakes games like I do. Go for it!

This bonus is very easy to clear. I play $100 max buy-in no-limit and it took me no more than five hours of multi-tabling four tables to clear the bonus. There were always enough tables to play. What I don't like at all is the graphical interface which makes it very difficult to play at more than two tables at the same time. I was often timing out and folding hands as the table which requires action wouldn't consistently pop-up when it was my turn. Anyway, there are so many fish there that I managed to double my bankroll in the few hours I played.
Great offer!

Betfair is one of the largest sports betting companies in the world. It's poker room is relatively small and the action is mostly shorthanded. There are not many players around, but the ones that are there are incredibly weak/loose. One Scottish guy called my reraise all-in on a 779 board holding 53o for $80 while I was holding pocket aces! The bonus is very easy to clear at $50 or $100 max buy-in no-limit Hold'em, I played at four full ring tables at a time for about six hours, I would have cleared the bonus even faster if I had been playing shorthanded. The software is okay, no major annoyances except for the lobby.
Highly recommended!

I finished this bonus within a couple of days playing short-handed $0.50/$1 fixed-limit Hold'em, at the same time more than doubling my bankroll. Competition at Betfair is as often as weak as it is aggressive, so expect high fluctuation of your stack. In the end, it pays out to play there. Their software is okay.

Players at Betfair are very loose, which probably forces some better players to tighten up a bit. There are quite a lot of all-ins at the lower limits, so there's definitely some money to get here. The software is quite slow and the windows are big and ugly. Multi-tabling is possible, but you have to overlap the windows on top of each other.
