BetfairPoker moves to Ongame

16/07 2010

Great news for online poker players currently on our Betsafe deal, or other Ongame sites.

One of the worlds largest gaming companies Betfair quit their own pokerplatform and join other major Bookmakers as Bwin, Bet24, Eurobet ect. ect.

@ PlusIPoker this means that the individual evaluation off BetfairPoker is withdrawn from the market analysis. The cliffnotes in the move are in our opinion the following.

For Betfair players:
Good
- Way more action on the tables
- Bigger MTTs
- Possibility to actually play SNGs now without waiting for days for them to fill up
- Bigger rebates

Bad
- For fans of the special featues in Betfairs software, theyre gone
- The pokerindustry looses a unique product
- New databases must be made
- Harder to know all skilled villains

For other ongame players:
Good
- More action
- More fish
- Bigger promotions

Bad
- Maybe a few solid 30-40 % Rakeback nits moved along with Betfair
- Betfairs crossmoving sportsbetters might be slightly better pokerplayers as they must be more intelligent sportsbetters/gamblers in general
