All I can say is wow. Never have I ever been more confused about where to go to find just a simple poker game. Betfair Poker seems to bordering the lines of weird and weirder. Yes, I’ll admit there are some really great things about it, but there are also plenty of bad things to compliment those as well.
UP’s: For starters, I will give them this: the layout is great. The color scheme is great. It’s definitely different from most sites and gives it a great, fresh feeling that no other site has seemed to produce.
The software is easy enough to download. BetFair gets something right with actually showing you the step-by-step process of how to download install, register, and start playing with the software.
Casino games were a great accomplishment of this website. Having more than 40 classic casino games was unbelievable. I don’t know of any other website that offer’s that variety. Believe me when I say, if you love casino games, this is definitely the place for you.
Besides the casino games, you’ll be happy to know that this poker website has taken it a bit further by presenting the world with online betting. Bet on races, horse races, even sporting events.
Promotions are also a great item offered on this website. Practically every page you look on contains some type of promotion that is indeed, very enticing the eye and to the pocket.
DOWN’s: Even those Einstein’s of the world are more than likely going to have a problem with finding the information they want on Betfair. I simply wanted to play a good game of poker but that was about to change when I realized I had no clue where to look on this site. You would think the tab labeled “Poker Games” would be a dead-on answer to the problem, but it wasn’t. I clicked on the tab and was even more confused. They are no straightforward ways to find regular poker games.
As I stated above, it’s not hard at all to install the BetFair software, but you will have a hard time trying to find it within these huddled pages.
Payment methods are also very few and far between. They have a limited way of paying which also is limiting their amount of players. It’s not very smart if you ask me. Top poker site have the availability of infinite number of ways to pay. No matter the language you speak or the country your in, other site have those options available.
If you think this was bad enough, BetFair does it again. If you’re looking for a great way to roll some high stakes games, you’ve come to the wrong place. As stated on their website, BetFair isn’t interested in high stakes, just raw talent. A good poker site should concentrate on both.
Overall, I think you should check this website out, but don’t be surprised if you can’t find anything of interested on it or start pulling your hair out because you get so confused. |
