Betfair is on the iPoker network. As of early 2025, they decided to switch from Ongame to iPoker. The new network has more traffic, an enhanced tournament schedule and more recreational players.

Playtech is the company that makes the software for iPoker sites. The Playtech software, is very similar for all sites. The primary difference between sites is the color scheme that the site chooses to use. This site uses a dark blue, grey and sky blue mix. The site has an aquatic feel to it, the tables are quite soothing to the eye. Players have a choice of 2D or 3D graphics. The 2D graphics are suitable for players that value simplicity and ease of use. The 3D graphics are quite nice to the eye and can be an enjoyable experience.

Betfair will match 200% of a player’s first deposit, up to $2,000. Players get up to 90 days to clear the bonus.

All new players receive 4 tournament tokens as soon as they sign up and make their first deposit. These tokens grant access to the weekly $1,000 freerolls. Players have 30 days to use the tokens. The tournaments run every Friday at 20:15 CET.

The bi-monthly Speed Poker Leaderboards rewards the top 70 players that play the most hands of Speed Poker. The player that comes in 1st place will receive $500. The qualifying period runs from the 1st to the 14th and 15th to 28th of each month.

The iPoker network runs a complete tournament schedule, ranging from micro to high stakes buy-ins. Many of their tournaments offer a guaranteed minimum prize pool.

Speed Poker is iPoker’s version of Rush Poker or Zoom Poker. For those that haven’t played these fast-fold poker variations, players are given the ability to instantly fold a hand, are transported to a new table with new opponents and dealt a new hand without having to wait for the previous hand to be finished. This gives players the ability to play up to 4 times the amount of hands one could play at a regular ring game. As previously mentioned, Betfair is paying out the top 70 players that have played the most hands of Speed Poker twice a month.

Very few poker networks have more players than the iPoker network. This was one reason that Betfair decided to make the switch from Ongame. Checking pokerscout, we can see that Ongame is ranked 16th compared to iPoker’s 4th place rank, resulting in an increase of over 400% in the number of average cash game players at the table. The iPoker 7-day average for cash game traffic is currently at 3,150.

The iPoker network is known for having players that are slightly more skilled than average. Although this is the case, their high level of traffic gives players the ability to game select more easily. If one exercises good game selection, they would not notice the difference in skill. The rewards program also gives back more than most other poker sites, which can be an important consideration when deciding where to play.

Due to US law, Betfair is unable to accept players that are residing in the United States.
