Huge traffic from betting siteWide selection of satellites to major off-line poker events
Bwin Poker is the flagship online poker room of the OnGame Poker Network (which is owned by bwin) and as such is the preeminent online poker site on what is the fifth largest online poker room/network in the market. Bwin recently merged with Party Gaming making the party online partnership one of the largest gaming sites on the Internet.
While the two poker networks have remained independent of one another, bwin has been able to retain their player base despite the merger, thanks to the fact that the poker room has retained their software and features that their very loyal player base has become accustomed to. With excellent graphics and great promotions the bwin brand is one of the most trusted n all of online poker.
Unfortunately for US poker players, neither bwin nor any of the OnGame Network’s sites are currently accepting US players at this time.
With solid traffic numbers at virtually any time of day, there is never a lack of a good game at bwin Poker, and the site is also known for having some of the loosest games in online poker thanks to the high percentage of traffic that comes from bwin’s casino and sports-betting operations. Traffic at bwin can exceed 20,000 players during peak hours.
Bwin –and the rest of the OnGame Network—have terrific graphics and a number of useful features for players to make use of. However, because of the added visual enhancements at the site, as well as the special features, bwin runs a tad bit slower than other poker rooms, but it’s not enough of a slowdown to be a nuisance.
Bwin was one of the first online poker rooms that allowed players to take their seat directly from the lobby instead of having to open the table, and is also one of the few poker sites that offer an enhanced content panel on the side of the main lobby to further add to the ease of play at the poker site.
Bwin’s tournament schedule is one of the main reasons a lot of players choose to play at the site, considering there is a ton of multi-table tournaments starting at all hours of the day, and the fact that bwin runs a number of special tournaments throughout the week.
Some of the tournament schedule highlights at bwin Poker are the $100k Guarantee, the High-Roller Tournament, the Midnight Oil tournament, and the Euro GP.
Bwin also offers a number of Sit and Go tournaments, covering virtually every format imaginable.
