200% Up to $1000 Bonus - No Bonus Code Needed!

Players have 8 weeks to collect as much of the bonus as they can.

Bet365 Poker offers up to $1000 in free chips for first time depositors. The great thing about the bonus is that players need only deposit a minimum of $10 USD (or currency equivalent) to receive the full amount of the bonus. Simply download the software or choose the instant play flash version, sign-up a new real-money account and make a deposit of at least $10. For every 100 qualifying raked hands ($0.25+ rake) you participate in, $5 of the bonus will be credited to your account. 10,000 qualifying raked hands equals $500. Players have 8 weeks to collect as much of the bonus as they can.

Bet365 offers a decent selection of online poker games, including Texas Hold'Em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven Card Stud and Five Card Stud. Fixed Limit, Pot Limit and No Limit varieties are available. Stakes range from as low as $0.05/$0.10 up to $100/$200. Join in multi-table, single-table and sit'n'go tournaments, or try going 1-on-1 in heads-up action. As part of the Playtech Network, Bet365 Poker attracts a large player base. Peak hour traffic averages around 5,400 in ring games and 45,000 in tournament play.

The wide variety of high-paying tournaments is a big draw for new players, and can be attributed to the good player retention levels at Bet365 Poker. An excellent assortment of Guaranteed's and Freerolls are run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Eight freerolls are run every day with prize pools ranging from $200 to $1,000. Another is run every week day worth $365. Sunday offers a $1,000 freeroll, Saturday $1,500 freeroll, both of which require at least 10 raked hands to have been played in the last 7 days to enter.

The Playtech (IPoker) software employed by Bet365 Poker offers crisp, clean graphics, but nothing too exciting.

Lobby features include all the vital stats, like viewed-flop percentage, hands per hour and average pot size.
