Betfair Poker moves to the Ongame Network

Posted on August 12, 2010 by CasinoBazar

Betfair Poker has migrated to the Ongame Network and that's good news for the humble punter. While "Betfair Poker 2" will retain many of the features that has made it a firm favourite with UK players, being part of a wider network means a greater player pool, which will allow Betfair to take the site to the next level.

Extra liquidity in terms of players means bigger prize pools, a wider range of games and enhanced VIP programs. So, expect more poker variants (PLO hi-lo, 5-card draw, 7-card stud, 7-card stud hi-lo), a wider variety of table sizes, as well the ability to offer a $200k guaranteed tournament every Sunday, alongside several $10k tournaments throughout the day.

£500,000 in giveaways

In order to celebrate the migration, Betfair Poker are offering £500,000 in giveaways. The site will be hosting twice-daily $500 freerolls with no entry requirements whatsoever. Sixty-thousand dollars is also up for grabs in a special rake race with the top 100 finishers in the league table earning cash prizes, ranging from $75 up to $10,000 for the winner. Players will earn 1 point for every £0.05 in rake.

There will also be a special promotion for SNG players with $30,000 on offer. Rather than a points system, the prizes will be awarded to the players with the best return on investment (ROI) over 35-75 games. SNGs start from just $1, so there are opportunities for players at all bankrolls to cash in.

To take part in any of these promotions, and to take advantage of the generous new sign-up bonuses, visit Betfair Poker.
