I like playing at Betfred Poker because the competition is good and the game choices are very good. I really like the amount of freeroll tournaments BetFred offers. I definitely recommend this site to friends and family interested in low-key online play. I really like the fact that my bankroll on BetFred can be used at either the poker room, casino or for sports betting.

BetFreds software is easy and quick to install, with few changes once you start playing. Unlike other poker sites I have not yet needed an upgrade to my software. The look of the room is clean and easily navigated by all. I also like being able to have a "buddy list" readily available to find out which tables my friends are playing on.

I would really recommend this site to someone with a low bankroll looking to build it up, because of the very low stakes tables offered here.

I would have to say that the majority of the players on BetFred poker are average or above average. It is typically not too difficult to get into a Sit-n-Go game and not wait more than a few minutes for the table to fill. The ring games rarely have a waiting list unless the table is hot! Although I don't usually see more than a couple hundred tables open.

The variety of games offered at BetFred is not to pleasing. They only offer the standard games of Texas Hold em, Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo, all with limit, no-limit and pot-limit games. You will not find any Stud games at BetFred yet. You can find ring games of each kind ranging from blind levels of .01/.02 to $5/$10. The daily tournaments have buy-ins from $1 up to $375. There are more than a dozen freerolls daily.

The traffic at Bet Fred Poker seems to vary greatly during the day. On average there are roughly 4000 people logged in. This number, of course, jumps up when it gets closer to the time a freeroll opens for registration. The maximum number of players in their freerolls ranges from 500 to 1000, making site traffic very inconsistent.

BetFred, being part of the iPoker network is one of the fasted growing mid-sized networks. They have been attracting a steady flow of loose players who have, at peak times had as many as 1400 players in the iPoker ring table network.
Tournament traffic at BetFred is consistently high due to the Sit-n-go competitions with the high value jackpots available. In June of 2006 tournaments hit a peak of around 3700 players.

I really like the support offered at BetFred. Even though there is in game support offered, the contact us button on the software gives you all other options for contacting their support department, which is available 24/7. The one time I had to contact BetFred support, they were probably the best I have dealt with to date.

Coming from a background as a long-standing bookmaker, the financial security at BetFred is very good.

Bet Fred Poker has an average cashout time. One very unique point about the banking with BetFred is that you have 16 currency options! Their website states that you should receive your money within 72 hours. However, I generally get mine within 24 hours. BetFred Poker offers the following banking methods: Debit Cards, Credit Cards, Western Union, Neteller,Citadel, Regional Bank Transfers, Fedex, and Wire Transfers.
