Betfair isn't just an online poker room it is an Internet Betting Exchange (and the largest one in the world at that). Betfair is a UK company based in west London and was launched in 2000. Betfair is unique in that its members act as both the punter and the bookmaker. Betfairs reported 2 million members are able to bet at odds that are set by other members or they can set the odds themselves and take bets from other members.

With such a large membership base Betfair Poker has been able to build its own poker network meaning a lot of its players won't be on any other online poker room. This also gives Betfair Poker in control of their software and are able to react to customer feedback and concerns to provide a better product.

Betfair Poker offers more promotions than almost any other online poker room around. From a $500 sign-up bonus to Sit-n-Go jackpots, freeroll tournaments, cheap entry to tournaments, Betfair points and satellites to live tournaments around the world to name just a few Betfair Poker promotions.

Due to the size of Betfairs operation they are very professional and experienced and run their online poker room the same way. Customer support at Betfairpoker is also very good. The Betfair forums provide a way to connect with other members creating a more social experience.
